Copyright, sources, and third-party content

This project distinguishes between two kinds of material:

  1. Original text written for the casebook — licensed CC BY-SA 4.0.
  2. Quotations from published works — used briefly, attributed, and kept within the bounds of criticism and review.

Third-party media is not reproduced here. The casebook summarizes arguments in its own words and links readers to the originals.

Scripture

Scripture is quoted in the English Standard Version (ESV) unless another translation is named. Brief quotations are used for criticism, teaching, and review. Readers should consult the full text in their own Bibles.

Modern authors

The casebook refers to the arguments of living and recent authors — B. B. Warfield, Richard Gaffin, John MacArthur, Robert Thomas, Craig Keener, Wayne Grudem, D. A. Carson, Gordon Fee, Sam Storms, John Wimber, Candy Gunther Brown, and others — by paraphrase and citation. Direct quotations are kept to a sentence or two, placed in quotation marks, and sourced. No author's work is reproduced in bulk.

Where a quotation's exact wording could not be verified, the text paraphrases and says so. The verification log is 08-reference/09-quotation-notes.md.

Public-domain texts

The church fathers, the medieval chronicles, the Reformers, and the revival narratives cited here are public domain. They are quoted with citation and without bulk reproduction. Where a modern translation or edition is used, the edition is named.

Linking, not mirroring

Where a book, article, archive, or video is available online, the casebook links to it. It does not re-upload, mirror, or substitute for the original. The source library exists to send readers to the sources themselves.

Images

The illustrations are original SVG artwork made for this project. They are released under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license as the text. No stock photography or third-party images are used.

Takedown

If you are a rights holder and want material removed or corrected, contact the maintainer. The material will be handled promptly.

License scope

The CC BY-SA 4.0 license covers the original text and original artwork only. Quoted material remains the property of its authors and is used under the applicable exception. The license does not grant anyone the right to redistribute third-party media.
