History

The Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute traces its beginnings to the year 1911,[9] when it appeared as News and Notes.[9] Subsequently, in the year 1941,[1] it became known as The Bulletin of Christian Institutes of Islamic Studies and by 1960,[2] the title was once again changed to Bulletin of the Henry Martyn Institute of Islamic Studies. Then in the year 1972, it was changed to Al-Basheer: A Bulletin of Christian Institutes of Islamic Studies, which retained the title until 1976.[2] Again from the year 1978[2][4] onwards, it reverted its title to Bulletin of the Henry Martyn Institute of Islamic Studies.[6][11] Finally, since 1998,[5] it took the name as Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute, which stands good till date. During mid-nineties, the publishers provided a trail of the journal under various names.[12] Similarly, an external researcher, Binod Peter Senapati provided a brief note on constant name changes of the journal.[2]
