When an author creates a work in the United States, he or she receives the exclusive right to copy, to distribute and do several other things with his or her work. Some items are in the Public Domain. Most of these were published before 1923, were originally published without a copyright statement when this was required or did not have their copyright renewed. All other works under copyright. The seminary owns the copyright to some of this material, mostly from its faculty journals, Springfielder and Concordia Theological Quarterly. The rest of these copyrighted works require a password so that the rights of the copyright holder and the provisions of US law are kept.

This article, chapter or book is a part of an electronic text library installed on our campus network. To use this item, you must have the Logos Libronix reader install on your computer and have purchased the books to which they refer. This program is installed on our library computers and will work from there. To Table of Contents The general reference to each item is provided on the Electronic Reserves Page. For the most part, the article is paginated in exactly the same way as the original. Use the page number in the text to cite it. Sometimes you will see a letter following a page number. We have supplied these letters when we depart from the original numbering. To cite these pages, drop the letter, using the number alone. For example, 112b is found on page 112 of the original text.
