Please note that only books marked in green are available as digital copies. The forum is also free to use, but requires registration in order to post comments to the platform.
Access to digital book material requires paid access. There are different passes available based on your needs. Each pass expires at the end of its period of validity and is not automatically renewed.
Access to the digital material takes place using an internet browser, and access is limited to one device per user account. Each different pass type allows you a certain number of downloads through the church book viewer application. Downloaded images are in PDF format, and a PDF-reader must be installed on your device to read downloaded material – click here to download a PDF-reader application.
