Welcome to the Westminster Theological Seminary course NT 311, on the Book of Revelation!
I am providing various course documents on line, which you are free to download. Let me remind you that these course materials are very much works in progress. They are tentative in nature, and subject to repeated alteration and improvement. Not everything in them represents settled views on my part.
You may use all the course materials under the GNU Free Documentation License. For details, you must read this license. Briefly, the license allows you to use and pass on both unaltered and altered files, provided that you give credit to the author and that you grant to others the same freedom given to you.

The open document format (.odp and .odt) contains the latest
unicode
encoding of Greek
and Hebrew.
You can view open document files with OpenOffice 2.0, which are available for free. You can view .PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is probably already on your computer.
The Open Document formats are preferred, for the benefit of permanent public accessibility. For further discussion of the issues of accessibility, see my article on "Digital Ethics and File Formats."Some files use Greek and Hebrew fonts. Others use special Roman alphabet fonts. See my base page for access to these fonts.
