I should just call the title a post and go on! But I won’t. The title and post came to me as I read Stupid Bible Tricks #1, and empathized. I recall one occasion when a speaker who was aware that i read Greek, and knew I had my Greek testament in front of my…
Introduction #contextchangeseverything – yes, it does. But how? With the vast array of Bible study materials that are available in the English language comes a problem. How does one choose what materials are worth my time, shelf space (or HD space!), or money? If you search my blog for posts about study Bibles, you’ll find…
The greatest difficulty I have in reviewing this Bible edition is distinguishing between what interests me and what might be helpful for people who are wanting to put more spark in their Bible study. 24/7: A One Year Chronological Bible from Tyndale House is directed at a particular purpose, and it fulfills that purpose quite…
Dave Black notes the following: 9:04 AM This morning Kyle Davis, one of my teaching assistants, sent me a link to this excellent essay: The Method of Teaching New Testament Greek (.pdf). On the several takeaways I got from reading it, this one is perhaps the most important: Extensive memorization produces improved strategies for memorization,…
Dave Black posted today about keeping up Greek and its importance for exegesis. I’ve extracted that post to the JesusParadigm.com site so as to have a specific link. Everything he said could apply to Hebrew as well. I turned to his passage, though I was confident I would be able to read it. I’ve read…
Alan Lenzi writes a post in response to John Hobbins in which he seems to find it surprising that more Biblical scholars don’t abandon faith, and that their failure to do so says something about their “unwillingness to think historically without being hamstrung to the implications of their work by the fear of divine judgment…
Nice – and way ahead of me – and some of them are doing exactly what I want to do and more. I must explore these. Thanks for the list.
Free verse by verse Bible study !!!!
Conservative, evangelical exegesis using
1. history
2. context
3. original word meanings
4. syntax-grammar
5. genre
6. parallel passages
These Bible studies emphasize the original inspired authors’ intent (one
meaning) and then attempts to offer possible applications (significances).
These free Bible studies are available in video, audio & written formats.
Please look at http://www.freebiblecommentary.org and if you like it a free Cd-rom
is available upon request which contains all of the written material.
Please remember that no one agrees completely with any commentary. They
are meant to be thought provoking, not definitive!
I am making this life’s work available free to be a blessing to the body
of Christ. I was teaching at an OMS seminary in Haiti several years ago and
I felt the Lord say to my heart”make them available free”. I am trying to
follow that “word”. If you feel comfortable share this website address with
others interested in Bible study.
