Welcome to the Women's Weekend Seminary courses! The Women's Weekend Seminary, under the sponsorship of Lansdale Presbyterian Church, offers a condensed seminary curriculum for women. A full description can be found in a downloadable brochure.
I am providing various course documents online, which you are free to download. The materials written by me are very much works in progress. They are tentative in nature, and subject to repeated alteration and improvement. Not everything in them represents settled views on my part.
You may use all of the course materials produced by me (Vern Poythress) under the GNU Free Documentation License. For details, you must read this license. Briefly, the license allows you to use and pass on both unaltered and altered files, provided that you give credit to the author and that you grant to others the same freedom given to you.
In the case of materials produced by others, the copyright belongs to the author.

You can view open document files with OpenOffice or LibreOffice, which are available for free. LibreOffice will probably prove better in the long run. You can view PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is probably already on your computer.
The Open Document formats are preferred, for the benefit of permanent public accessibility. For further discussion of the issues of accessibility, see my article on "Digital Ethics and File Formats."
Some files use Greek and Hebrew fonts. Others use special Roman alphabet fonts. The open document format (.odp and .odt) contains the latest unicode encoding of Greek and Hebrew. See my base page for access to these fonts.
