NOTE: You should not have to pay for access to any articles while affiliated with Taylor University. The access to articles through publisher web sites is very costly. Zondervan is usually able to obtain articles from a regional college or university for free or in some cases we have accounts for purchasing on-demand articles. Let us find it for you; in most cases at a more reasonable cost that what Science Direct, Elsevier, or other publishers charge.
