New Book: A Historical Introduction to the New Testament by Robert M. Grant
Currently, this book is not available for LOGOS. I did notice that there is an
introduction to the Bible by Grant that is in production. Anyway, this book is
different. There were some minor errors/mistakes, but this book compiles just
fine. I did have some formatting issues in some of the chapters on the Gospels,
so if you want to mess with that, be my guess. I am starting another book....
Here is the book by Grant:

I have removed the .docx file Link because this work (c)1963 was said to be under copyright. Apparently the above site doesn't realize this. Guess this is one that cannot be shared. Find it hard to believe that this book (c)1963 is under copyright until 2058. How can this site make it available online if it is? I did find out that the author passed away about 10 years ago.

I think that book might still be under copyright in the US. If I understand this correctly and seeing that the copyright was renewed, it should be under copyright until the year 2058. It certainly is still under copyright in most other places, for example the EU, where the rule is live+70 years, because the author passed away only in 2014.
That means you should not share the book in this forum.

The link contains a copyright statement. The author gave permission for it to appear on that site not for everyone to copy and share. When the right to copy and share is given, it is given in a creative commons copyright statement.

In most countries the book will be protected until 2084 (70 years after the death of the author, btw. this rule also applies in the US for most books published since 1978).

OK guys, I understand. I have already deleted the link to the
file while I still had the opportunity to do so. Once you upload to LOGOS
how do you delete what you have uploaded? Guess it doesn't matter
since no one can downloaded it. Thanks for all your input and help.

You cannot delete a book once you upload it. What you have to do is "hide" it.
I talked to support before I learned, and they say there is nothing they can do either. If you load Logos on a new computer, at least a desktop, the book may return to your library.
You could contact your source and tell them what happened and see what they recommend. They may tell you to keep it for personal use.0
