I haven't found  a good way to convert PDFs myself yet, but since BBR is freely available online, I wondered if anyone has converted it into PPB files.

    If you do not have, or cannot find a converter you're happy with; you could use this method for creating a PB linking to BBR

    Although just because something is available freely online, that does not (necessarily) mean that they have given up copyright on it.  These are still, I suspect, well under copyright. 

    If you were to convert them for your own use, that is one thing, but I don't think sharing the docx files would be appropriate.

    Blessings,

    I don't know much about the BBR, but you could be right depending on the content your talking about. The method outline on the wikipage link would not be a copyright violation of any content, because it is really just linking the uder to the content the publisher provides access to.

    Fred:

    I admit that I live in a more urban area now, but back when I was a boy in Kansas, the cow would get pretty upset if you tried to "link the uder" to anything other than a milking machine....

    Fred:

    Two things:

    Ethical question: I just now created an index of the BBR v.v.1-18 from the website, but the journals themselves are offered as part of the Theological Journal Library #15.  Is it unethical to put up  an INDEX of a free online archives of a journal that Logos sells?  (If not, I'll post it).

    Second...

    Is my new thread re: Index for 2012 Christian Standard the sort of thing you were talking about in terms of indexing an online journal?  (This is the sort of thing I did with BBR)

    That looks similar to what I have done in the past.

    In terms of competeing with Logos, the PB would not come close the the functionality and features of the journals Logos sells. So it would not really compete with their product. If you are concerned about posting it for others to use, email Bob Pritchett ask if it would violate the ethical use of the forums in his mind.

    Peace, Fred!          Thanks for sharing that Wiki stuff!           *smile*            Obviously I haven't kept up with what's on the new Wiki since Logos 5.     Steve Clark did so much labour in the past along with many other lovely people.  I think MJ was doing a lot of work at present!               Dunno who gets the credit; however, it truly is a pretty great resource.                         oh yes,            the credit        ................              Bottom Line:  To God Be the Glory!                   *smile*

    Soli Deo gloria


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Soli Deo gloria is a Latin term for Glory to God alone. It has been used by artists like Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel and Christoph Graupner to give God credit for their work. The phrase has become one of the five solas propounded to summarise the Reformers' basic beliefs during the Protestant Reformation.

    As a doctrine, it means essentially that everything that is done is for God's glory to the exclusion of humankind's self-glorification and pride. Christians are to be motivated and inspired by God's glory and not their own.
