Thanks for the feedback Lee!

I have the JPS commentary on all 5 books of the Torah and have a handful of the NICOT/NT but cannot afford the whole set at present. I am looking for a single volume...

Hello,

I am soliciting recommendations for the following: I am on the lookout for a “Study Bible” or a “shorter” Commentary series (e.g. one of the 6 volume sets) that meet my peculiar desires.

The character Vav is pronounced as /w/ in Yemenite Hebrew, so there is a "legitimate" form of Hebrew that does so. The general consesus (although there are those who disagree) is that in Hebrew, like...

ad hominem.

So I asked for a verse that explicitly states your position on how to read the text and adds all the numbers for a total cummaltive data and your response was to ignore my...

Adelphos, you are avoiding my question: is there a verse that asserts that the data (Biblical facts) in Genesis 5 show be added (interpretation not explicit in the text).

As a side note, I...

It isn't immaterial as this is an appeal to authority. And for what it is worth, there are Bible-Believing professors (much more conservative than Barr was fwiw) would, based on how the Bible deals...

While I see what you were trying to say the appeal to genre and looking beyond religio-historical interpretation do bear certain overtones in the broader debate (e.g. see Peter Enns' Inspiration and...

But what does the Bible say?

i.e. Christian interpretation by the majority (as over and above what the Bible plainly says) isn't always correct.



I won't dispute the "large number of...

Hello Tim,

The BW staff was kind enough to allow user editable outlines quite a few years ago. With Mike's help I was able to add the Parashot. Metzger's outline is pretty handy as well. Very...

djvu is popular with scanned books (a lot of Google Books are in this format). It has a number of benefits over PDF and images.

That does seem to be the growing consensus among scholars of the Hebrew Bible. Maybe this should be in the off topic section but as I am working on a paper related to this issue I thought I would...

I don't have an Asus netbook, but I am using an Acer 1410. 11.6" LCD (1376x768), Core 2 Solo @ 1.4Ghz, 250GB HDD, 2GB DDR2 memory, full sized keyboard, Windows 7. I picked it up through an Amazon...

Wow, thanks. My wallet very much dislikes this thread :(

Ben, if you get an opportunity, does COS omitt any creation and flood accounts in ANET or does it provide complete overlap + additional sources in these areas?

Scott, the "other guys" have he digital version for about $300 and ANET for $80. Contexts is very, very expensive but it seems they have put a good deal of thought into it. For those of us studying...

Just a question for those who have read both, does the newer 3 volume series, "The Context of Scripture" cover all the texts of ANET? Contexts is quite expensive (to say the least) but ANET isn't...

Edit: Misread, I thought you said you bought the HALOT modules and upgraded to 8, not that you had a standalone HALOT package that is non-BW. BW does include an external links program, so you may...

How do you send hugs through fiberoptic cables? Thank you Michael. Would you happen to know if this is being "back dated" as well? Most of the Journals I sampled have 2008 and 2009 but nothing older....

I have been hunting down some way to get the table of contents for various journals. As I don't have easy access to an academic library so my time at the library is pretty thin and don't wish to...

My laptop died due to Nvidia's bump gate issue, so while I wait for Dell to replace my laptop I decided an uber-mobile Acer 1410 would be great for packing around. Perfect time to upgrade BW to v.8...

For me it is every verse. Maybe something to do with how the beginning of the verse is being treated? In the attached I did some various samples (Gen 1:1, 48:16; Exo 3:12; Deu 6:4). Let me know if...

Thanks Jon!

I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed my retail version of Office 2007 and I have the same issue. I tested a couple Greek verses and didn't see any major problems off hand but the...

Good explanation Mike.

To add to Mike's observations the LXX as we have it reflects many different hands that demonstrate varying degrees of formality and ability in working with the text....

You will find all sorts of weasling out of that though; e.g. "law of Moses" or "Moses said..." could be understood (as it is argued) to be a reference to the compositional book known at the time and...

Thanks for the link.

I found the link interesting because of the "clashing" world views. e.g. Along the sensational/cautious parameters the author suggests, even the outline he provides of the...
