Read, discuss and return

Resources for your reading.

Use these original worksheets to prepare a conversation, record questions and return to a book with a new perspective. They contain guidance written for this website, not text taken from the books.

Download the original reading handbook

The handbook covers preparing a session, comparing interpretations and using source references responsibly. Choose the format that suits your reading setup.

These files use English. The editorial guide library and selected-guide downloads are available in all website languages. PDF tagging is not an independent PDF/UA certification.

A facilitator’s sheet

Set a reading boundary, invite a first response from each participant and keep interpretation separate from evidence. A participant may pass on any question.

Before you begin

  • What draws you to this premise or form?
  • Which question would you like to carry through the reading?
  • Where will the group stop so that nobody meets an uninvited spoiler?

After the agreed reading

  • What did you notice that another reader interpreted differently?
  • Which part of the work supports your interpretation?
  • What remains uncertain, and what would you like to reread?

Complete handbooks in every website language

Each language includes the full original handbook and facilitator worksheets, plus a separate shorter international reading companion. EPUB and plain text preserve the complete translated wording; PDFs provide printable layouts.

Complex-script PDF text extraction can differ from the displayed glyphs. Use EPUB or TXT when exact text selection is important.

Save selected guides offline

Choose original guides in Explore, select a language and save. Only selected guides are copied, not books, manuscripts, browsing history or the whole website.

First select guides in Explore, then return here.

Open the offline copy

Offline saving needs JavaScript and a supporting browser. PDF, EPUB and text downloads remain available.

This saves one selected-guide copy on this device. Reconnect and save again to update or replace it. Source links need internet. Removal clears only this feature’s copy and offline handler.

Keep the source and the discussion distinct

The website’s introductions are editorial guidance. Read the book itself for its narrative, argument and language. Keep major discoveries out of a group’s default summary. In fictional religious material, a narrator’s or institution’s claims are not automatically the author’s beliefs.
