How the library is organised
- Each category appears once per cycle, twenty times across the 1,580-page source—repeated titles are distinct chapters, never merged.
- Every chapter carries its start and end PDF page, reading time, summary, and section headings; the reader shows the citation so you can check the source.
- Collections 3, 4, 5 and the pillar pages are the book’s own editorial commentary—the site marks them as modern interpretation, not established historical teaching.
- Search filters by title, summary, heading, or full text.
- The history timeline and the multi-religious sin guide stay outside these collections as separate, cited records.
