Listen Up! Free Books

Free Lenski, Luther, and More!

Stanley Hauerwas said, "If you want to publish, Greg, you need a PhD. That is the union card needed for publishing."

These books are linked on Dropbox, and the link should work whether the individual has Dropbox or not. Please report difficulties to greg.jackson.edlp@gmail.com. I suggest downloading the free Dropbox software and using it for backups and large file transfers. Various exercises will allow the user to increase the free storage - as I have - to almost 16 gigs. I only use 5.5 gigs at this time.

These books are public domain, so anyone can copy, share, use, translate, or edit without asking permission or paying a fee. Giving credit where due is the norm, and publishers normally cite where the original can be found. John N. Lenker's Sermons of Martin Luther are a good example, where we give credit to Lenker, who gives credit to previous editions.

This was first a need for the African missions, so they can translate freely and use books as needed. Secondly, it is useful for those who want to use all or part of these books in the future.

If, at my death, my executors, or more properly my creditors, find any precious manuscripts in my desk, then here I prospectively ascribe all the honor and the glory to Church Growth and Universal Objective Justification; for Church Growth and UOJ were my Yale College and my Harvard. (paraphrased from Moby Dick, Chapter One, Herman Melville)

The reprinted editions cost $300 and up.

R. C. H. Lenski, taught Justification by Faith and the inerrancy of Scriptures, just as Dr. Walter A. Maier did in the LCMS. Lenski's colleagues did their best to silence him and displace his faithful teaching.
