Welcome to the International Cooperation Initiative (ICI) Online Books page. This ICI project provides free online PDF files to scholars and students who would not otherwise have access to these resources. In addition to books published by SBL, resources from our partners Brown Judaic Studies, Catholic Biblical Association, Baylor University Press, Gorgias Press, and Sheffield Phoenix Press are also accessible. SBL invites other academic publishers to join this expanding list.
Persons who are identified through our technology as being from a country with a GDP per capita substantially lower than the average GDP per capita of the USA and the European Union will be able to see links below to the publishers and the PDF publications. In addition, we are offering reduced membership rates to individuals in these countries who would like to join and reduced subscription rates to institutions. Individuals from qualifying countries should have access to these forms below. For more information, please contact the Customer Service Department.
The SBL has launched the International Cooperation Initiative (ICI) to foster biblical scholarship and to facilitate mutual cooperation among colleagues. See the ICI page for information on their other projects.

If you would like to support the mission of the SBL and the sponsorship of this and other projects that foster biblical scholarship, please click here. For those who are not members, we also invite you to join with over 8,500 members from every continent as we provide a forum to test ideas and advance the understanding of the Bible's role in the public arena.
