Study Notes

Sixteen sets of Walter Beuttler’s own study notes, in his own question-and-answer method

How these survived: Beuttler never put his name on his teaching notes and never copyrighted a word he wrote — he gave everything away because everything had been given to him. After his death in 1974, his wife Elizabeth entrusted the complete printed set to Bill Burkett (EBI, 1951–53), a close friend of the family. In 2013, Brother Burkett found this website and wrote to us: Elizabeth had given him the notes, he was putting them online “for all the brethren to drink from freely,” and he hoped we could “team together to share his messages.” He published them that September. When he went to be with the Lord a few years later, his site went dark; the notes were recovered from an internet archive and are preserved here, keeping the promise both men made.
