Marjoe Gortner – real interesting guy. Check out this little piece on him – http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/marjoe.htm

I have to say, despite what he did I appreciate his honesty.

Free, or close to free, is definitely good. Thats a really good idea. Now that I think about it, the price for all those coursepacks I had to buy or print was so high because of copyright.

That is exactly what I did. I copied and pasted the whole book onto a MS Word document, formatted it the way I liked, converted to PDF format (or for extra credit, into LaTeX format first) then printed it. The cost in paper is much less than buying some of these books – and free is good! I have an old binding machine at work that will bind the whole thing into a spiral bound ‘book’. The bonus is that I can choose whatever I wish as my cover.

I have printed and read several books from this and a couple of other sites, and here they sit – spiral softbound free books that I don’t feel guilty scribbling notes all over. I find the effort to be really minimal, and is well worth it.

How do you read it? (I’m a troglodyte, I need to print everything off to read).

TA, I downloaded the book. It is free – as are many, many other great books:

HIS says: “…and working my way through Walter Bauer’s “Orthodox and Heresy in Earliest Chrsitianity””

I’m jealous, I haven’t found that at my used bookstore and its too expensive online, but its on my wish list.
