Bible Gateway Adds RSV and NRSV

Byhenry November 28, 2012

Bible Gateway has added the RSV and NRSV. This will be useful for me as these are my two favorite formal equivalent translations. This addition comes by agreement with the National Council of Churches.

Reading Psalm 100 Out Loud
Byhenry November 18, 2008
One of my Bible study methods, though most important for devotional reading, is to read a passage aloud. Since the lectionary Psalm for this week is Psalm 100, which is very short, I thought I’d read it aloud in a number of versions and then write my subjective impressions. I chose to read it from…

Yet Again The Voice and Italics
Byhenry August 23, 2012
I know I’m beating this topic to death, but I can’t help it. Really I can’t. Or at least I won’t. I was reading Hebrews today, and I ran into some interesting examples, both of positive and (in my opinion) negative uses of italics. Before I look at a couple of cases, however, I do…

Preserving Literary Quality?
Byhenry October 7, 2008
Bryon’s Weblog has a quote from Leland Ryken and some commentary, followed by some rather silly comments by an obvious troll. What I found interesting here, however, was the idea of preserving the literary qualities of the Bible. Let me reproduce the quote Bryon used: “If your essentially literal translation is the RSV, the ESV,…

1 Chronicles 1-9 in the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary
Byhenry October 31, 2010
I previously gave an overview of the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary on 1-2 Chronicles, but I’ve been spending more time with it since, reading the Hebrew text along with the commentary. While I do appreciate the NLT text on which the commentary is based, I’m not reading this for the NLT text, but rather for the…
