Copyright
This 1984 compilation — the selection, arrangement, editorial introduction, and any updating of language — is Copyright © 1984 Louis G. Parkhurst, Jr., and remains under copyright. UECF.NET has no license to reproduce its text and has not done so.
What you are reading is an original UECF.NET Web Book / Study Companion: for each chapter we provide the printed chapter title, a public-domain King James Scripture passage chosen for that chapter's theme, and our own summary, themes, key ideas, concepts, related Bible references, application, and questions. None of the explanatory prose on these pages is Finney's or Parkhurst's own wording, and it must not be quoted as if it were. Readers who want Finney's own words should read the printed book, or the original 1837/1843 lecture sources on which it draws.
The author portrait
The author portrait used on this study companion's introduction page reproduces an 1835 painting of Finney by F. R. Spencer, engraved by J. W. Paradise for the 1847 edition of Finney's Systematic Theology — a work published in 1835/1847 and long in the public domain.
Scripture quotations
Scripture quoted on these pages is the King James Version (public domain). Telugu Scripture text is our own translation of that same KJV wording.
Corrections
