This page is to provide the texts for the bible study course from Don Freeman. Read his introduction first and then download the sections as needed. The files were produced from scans and OCR of a version of the original MS, so any number of errors may have crept in. Please let us know if you find any and we shall correct them.
The files may be downloaded, read on-screen, used for private devotionals or as a basis for group discussion. The Introduction gives more guidance and suggestions. The entire bible is covered in about three years, at one section per day.
The sections named *RevA are revised to correct as many errors as possible; they also include additional material and questions using the MS received on 31 Oct 2025 from DAF for sections 9-12, and on 28 November 2025 for sections 1-8.
