PUBLICATIONS
New Theological College has a Publications Department that takes care of the publications of the college. Following are the important publications that we publish:
• Niyog
Niyog is the College Annual published yearly by New Theological College. It contains glimpses of College life during the academic year as well as articles, poems, cartoons and other creative works. These are the works of students, staff, faculty, alumni and friends of the college.
• NTC Herald
NTC Herald is a quarterly newsletter of the college, which contains news about the college and various ministries related to us. Those who wish to receive a copy of the NTC Herald may kindly contact the Publications Office.
• Songs of Praise
There is evidently a need for a high quality song book that combines Hindi and English songs that are most commonly sung in churches. The idea of such a song book was birthed from the need NTC faced for a song book with hymns and choruses in Hindi and English that are conducive for worship in chapel services and Sunday worship. It was to fulfil that need NTC published “Songs of Praise.” We are pleasantly surprised by the constant high demand for this book. We have published the sixth edition of “Songs of Praise” which has 1200 songs both in English and Hindi. This song book is available both in paperback and hardbound editions. Those who are interested in obtaining copies of this song book may kindly contact the Business Office, NTC.

• Translations
In North India, Hindi is spoken as the mother tongue by over four hundred million people. The Church in the “Hindi Belt” is in dire need of quality publications in Biblical Studies, Theology, Church History and other related fields. Even basic Christian books in these fields are not available in Hindi. Hindi speaking pastors have no access to good commentaries or Bible dictionaries. For the Hindi speaking Church to become strong and mature in Christian faith, serious attention has to be given to the publication of good quality books in Hindi. From the beginning of our ministry NTC has had a great desire to see quality books published in Hindi. We have been praying for this for a long time. God gave the same burden to Dr. Timothy Tennent, Presidentand Professor of World Christianity, Asbury Theological Seminary. He is an Adjunct professor and a great friend of NTC. He is an author and editor, who has already published books on Indian Christian Theology, mission and global theology.
We have so far translated following books: An Introduction to Indian Church History by C. B. Firth; Yesu Das: Witness of a Convert by Dr. Ravi Tiwari; The History of Ecumenical Movement by Snaitang; Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert Coleman; and Introduction to Christian Theology by Owen C. Thomas. In addition to these, we have published an English-Hindi Glossary by Rev. Roji T. George which contains the contemporary theological terms in Hindi with its meaning.
Order for these books can be placed through our website.
• Future Projects
The Publications Department has plans to translate many more books into Hindi. We also plan to publish original works by the members of our faculty as well as other capable writers. We look forward to the help of God’s people in this endeavour.
We are looking for people who can help us with translation work. If you have a B.D. degree from a recognized theological institution, good knowledge of written & spoken Hindi, Punjabi and Oriya and a burden to see excellent books published in Hindi you may be able to help. If you have the necessary skills to translate good quality books please contact the Coordinator, Department of Publications for details.
