Subject:      THE CHRISTIA LIBRARY

     ADVERTISEMENT FOR MY ESSAYS. READ MY ESSAYS.

Recently there have been references on the list to some questions
(such as creationism vs. evolution, or what is meant by being
born again) that I have discussed in some of my Library Essays.
Given the turnover on the list, I should like to tell some and
remind others of the existence of the CHRISTIA Library.

To obtain a document (sush as my Essay BORN OFWATER) from the
Library, send a one line message
     GET BORN OFWATER
to one of these addresses (depending on what network you are on).

     LISTSERV@ASUACAD
     LISTSERV@ASUACAC.BITNET
     LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU

Back will come (in this example) a 188-line file (not mail).

I list a portion (my portion) of the Library below. For a
complete inventory, send for LIBRARY CATALOG.

If any of the topics sounds interesting to you, please send for
the Essay. It offers, not the last word on the subject, but
a basis for discussion.

 Yours,
 James Kiefer
