As of July, 2006 , the electronic versions of the six manuscripts contained in The Way to Christ were restored by PasstheWORD, to more accurately portray their presentation in the 1764 Wm. Law Edition in English of The Works of Jacob Boehme, The Teutonic Theosopher. The former six versions had been on-line at PTW since their contribution in 1998. At that time they were also contributed to CCEL which put those early editions in the public domain. They have been copied and displayed on many other websites and modified many times in the process, often corrupting the text.



Although the content of the former on-line text in all six documents was very close to the Wm. Law Edition, the preparer of the first public-domain e-versions had added upper-case emphasis to certain words, used modern spelling and observed certain modern conventions in those first transcriptions which have now been removed, and the text of each document has been rechecked to the original. Minor typographical errors were addressed as well.



The electronic texts of the restored reproductions of the manuscripts are now copyrighted by PTW to avoid any further adulteration of the authentic documents. The restored text renderings more closely convey the presentation in the 1764 Wm. Law Edition of The Works of Jacob Behmen, The Teutonic Theosopher.



Should you desire to print the new versions of any of the documents, there are now some helpful tips and suggestions on-line, see: Printing the Manuscripts , for basic instructions on printing, how to customize hardcopy, large print editions, notes about printer problems, what to do if you don't have a printer, on-screen reading tips, copyright information, and more.
