Please note: the inclusion of material in the SwordSearcher library is not an a priori endorsement of that material. Commentaries and other books are the writings of men and as such are prone to human error. Many of these materials present differing positions on some doctrines. Always remember to compare any statements of man against Scripture, as only Scripture is pure.
