Boulet Publishing Website Now Live

For about two months (mid-August to mid-October), I worked on the new bilingual Boulet Publishing website boulet.pub. It has now officially launched. It isn’t perfect. I’d like to someday work on the aesthetics of the site and find a way to translate some last remaining elements into French (this proved to be rather difficult with free tools only). But it works. Through Boulet Publishing, I hope to make available various resources for theological study, from language resources to modernized editions of historical works. My goal is to keep this books (print and digital) affordable. Consider donating to make this possible. Continue reading Boulet Publishing Website Now Live

Transitioning to Training Leaders International

Next Project: Modernizing a Historical Text by Guillaume Farel

When teaching Theology of the Reformation (in French), I was struck by how difficult it is to get primary sources in French. My next project is a proof of concept exercise. If this works, I will go on publishing old books as I am able and as I receive support. I want to try republishing a 16th century work by Guillaume Farel, making it available in print and ebook. A couple years back I used OCR software to capture the text from the scan of a 19th century copy of Farel’s Le sommaire. I recently prepared a Python script to Continue reading Next Project: Modernizing a Historical Text by Guillaume Farel
