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.[3] Again from the year 1978[3][5] onwards, it reverted its title to Bulletin of the Henry Martyn Institute of Islamic Studies.[7][11] Finally, since 1998,[6] it took the name as Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute, which stands good till date.
