Chapter 3 contains the topical listing, "Christian Classics Short Title Listing" that includes the approximately 270 citations to Christian classics in this database. They are identified in the annotation with the sentence "A Christian classic."
The print edition included indexes to authors and titles, scripture, and subjects. Because THE WEB EDITION is constantly changing, and because of the new single site search features of Google, the published indexes are obsolete. However, they may still be helpful in browsing.
See the Preface for further comments on the problem of indexing.
Author's names appearing in all caps indicates the title is available from Still Waters Revival Books. They offer titles in a variety of formats: Cerlox bound photocopies, digital text on CD in PDF format, and hard bound and softbound books.
The five digit accession number locates the citation in the collection (discontinued). For example, "40007" is the seventh consecutive original, annotated citation in Chapter 4. Notice there may be cross referenced citations between original citations. So it may be necessary to skip through citations to find a successive citation number within its chapter. Cross referenced citations are always within brackets "[40007]" (incomplete.) Therefore, if a cross referenced citation gives only the author and short title, then, in some cases, a full citation may be found in chapter where the original citation is located. Notice that accession numbers were also used in the print edition of the Index of Authors and Titles.
Some of the original accession numbers remain in the THE WEB EDITION, but frequent additions and alterations make it impossible to assign new accession numbers.
