Christian Study Center

“This web site is a gift to you, to share the love of Jesus with us and others.

Our mission is: To build an internet-based community where all people may interact for the intent of fellowship and/or education. To provide resources for the promotion of Biblical studies to all people. To spread the Good News throughout the world, in accordance with Scripture. To aide unbelievers in giving their lives to the Lord.
To conduct all matters as ambassadors of the Lord, bringing glory to His name and not our own. To provide materials to the general public free of charge.”

A. Philip Brown II

A nice personal site of a fellow BibleWorks user.

The Student, the Fish, and Agassiz

The following is a classic account of the importance of first-hand observation, and careful, intense, focused study…Its lessons certainly apply to studying the Bible. Too often students of the Bible rely on second-hand, derivative knowledge, acquired from pastors, teachers, parents, books about the Bible, or other secondary sources. While all of these have their place, there is no substitute, in the end, for one’s own first-hand study and experience of the Scriptures, and for the joy of discovery.”

www.dabar.org

The purpose of this site is to provide resources that are freely distributable (unless otherwise noted) to those who are interested in studying the Bible (the biblical world, archaeology, ancient history, ancient texts), theology, missions, monotheistic religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) and pagan religions.”

WHAT IS A COMMENTARY?

Essay by Dr. David Howard

The Dusty Library

Biblical Hermeneutics

The purpose of this page is to present a comprehensive and coherent methodology for Biblical interpretation. Many skeptics have complained that the Bible can't tell us anything of any real value because every person interprets it differently. While this is surely an overstatement - there is a great deal contained in the Bible that many Bible-believing Christians do in fact agree on - the reason why there are so many different interpretations is because interpreters don't follow any sensible or consistent method. This naturally leads to inaccurate, inconsistent, illogical and naive interpretations.”

Inter-Testamental Documents

Online Critical Pseudepigrapha

“For some time it has been evident that scholars of early Judaism and early Christianity need better access to the texts of the Pseudepigrapha in their original (or extant) languages and with a critical apparatus. In many cases critical editions are prohibitively expensive or out of print, and scholars without access to a large library have been hard pressed to find them.

The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha is intended to address this problem by publishing on-line, free-access critical texts of the Pseudepigrapha which are up-to-date and academically rigorous. This aim is to be realized by

1) co-ordinating the efforts of scholars who take on the editing of individual texts;
2) providing a forum for peer review of texts as they are developed;
3) developing the technology necessary for the publication of these texts in electronic form; and
4) providing a permanent web-site for the long-term publication of these texts and as a forum for ongoing text-critical work on the pseudepigrapha.”

The New English Translation of the Septuagint

The first fascicle of NETS has been published and is available from Oxford University Press.

The Psalms: A New English Translation of the Septuagint and the Other Greek Translations Traditionally Included Under that Title. Translated by Albert Pietersma. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2000. ISBN: 0-19-529753-9 (paperback).

We estimate that Oxford University Press will announce the publication of the entire NETS late in the year 2005. In the meantime...

SBS Radio

“SBS Radio has grown up with multicultural Australia. We are Australia’s national multilingual radio network broadcasting across the continent in 68 languages, more than any other broadcaster in the world.

Celebrating 30 years of broadcasting in 2005, SBS Radio broadcasts more than 650 hours of programming each week. All programs contain news – Australian, international and homeland news – and also provide a mixture of current affairs, interviews, community information, sport and music.

We broadcast on both AM and FM frequencies in Sydney and Melbourne and on either AM or FM frequencies in all major centres around the country.”

Ayrton's Biblical Page

The personal page of a seminary professor in Brazil. Much of his personal content is from a Catholic perspective, but there are some real nice items. Most of the site is mirrored in English. However, it is one of the best Portuguese sites I have seen.
