If selfless AGAPE has any real meaning , why aren't all religious publications also available via OPEN ACCESS ?
Money never grow on trees , even in Jesus's day, so printed on paper religious periodical and books will always cost much to manufacture and to ship about and it is only fair that their readers bear some of those costs.
But why not routinely make available the digital versions of the religious serials free as OPEN ACCESS journals and why not make the online versions of print books available as free downloadable e-books ?
Instead many successful religious authors can gain a good deal of personal wealth from their writing and speaking - as do their publishers and speakers' bureaus.
The books might talk much of selfless AGAPE and of charity but their authors fail to walk their own talk.
Religion , far from being too remote and too above the world is , in fact , too much in the world.
