[1] Established in 2007, the library is named in honor of the German missionary Conrad Schick, who was an architect, Jerusalem's first town planner and an important early archaeologist.
The library specializes in Evangelical Christian involvement in the modern Middle East; specifically in the field of politics, education, medical work and the exploration of the Holy Land.
It also holds a number of letters, papers and journals connected with the local philanthropic activities of the LJS, including the establishment of clinics and the English Mission Hospital in 19th-century Palestine.
The origins and growth of the Messianic Jewish movement, Arab Anglicanism and the scholarly study of Protestant eschatology are also areas of interest for the library.
The Conrad Schick Library also serves visiting clergy studying Biblical subjects and the Jewish roots of Christianity at Christ Church.
