The electronic edition of Reuben Archer Torrey's The New Topical Text Book: A Scripture Text Book for the Use of Ministers, Teachers, and all Christian Workers has been produced from a copy of the "New, revised and enlarged edition" published by the Fleming H. Revell Company in 1897.

      Also available online are a plain text version of the book, produced by Mark Fuller from the Sword of the Lord Publications reprint, at the Bible Foundation, and an HTML version (without Torrey's "Methods of Bible Study" and David Allen Reed's "An Outline of the Fundamental Doctrines of the Bible"), produced by Harry Plantinga, at Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Downloads of archives are available at both sites.

      The electronic text differs from the printed text in the following respects: the lists of The Topical Text Book have been presented as bulleted lists, and the subdivisions of the Outline of the Fundamental Doctrines of the Bible have been indented; a half-title and a list of the topics have been added at the head of each file comprising The Topical Text Book. Inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography have been retained; however, corrections for misspellings and other accidental corruptions have been offered. Emendations are as follows:
