From the Author:
1 The views expressed are solely my own. I thank Professors Benjamin H. Barton, H. Jefferson Powell, Jonathan Weinberg, and Jay D. Wexler for comments. I also thank the extraordinarily helpful librarians at Bloomsburg University, Messiah College, Methodist Theological School in Ohio, Misericordia University, Scranton University, Virginia Theological Seminary, and the Osterhout Free Library. I note that I have intentionally departed from The Bluebook in places for reasons of clarity and in order to demonstrate the ease with which once difficult to find sources may now be checked online.
