English Bible Translations

Many questions confront us when we see the vast array of Bible translations available to us. Which is most accurate, most literal, why is there a difference between translations, why are there different translations? Below are two videos by trusted scholars to give you a start with some of these questions. Perhaps you may have more questions after watching. That's OK. Stay hungry in your search for answers.

You can stay engaged in these issues by following the Bibles and Bible Commentary page on Facebook.

Old Testament Commentaries

 Here are three commentaries I'm currently using in some OT studies. Any other suggestions?

Another One Bites the Dust

Dr Wallace on Codex Sinaiticus at the British Library

Gospel of Mark: Longer or Shorter Ending? (Is 16:9-20 Authentic?) Matthew Everhard

Interesting to say the least. What are thoughts on the long ending of Mark 16?

Start Your Study of Biblical Archaeology with these Two Books

I've always found the archaeology in Palestine fascinating. I'm a self confessed armchair Biblical archaeologist. I just can't get enough. Its not only just plain interesting, it repeatedly confirms our Christian faith. So, if you want to get started in digging into our Christian past (pun intended) let me suggest two books, by the same author.

Doing Archaeology in the Land of the Bible: A Basic Guide by John Currid is the best place to start.

Within this slim and fact filled volume the reader will discover, a brief history on Biblical archaeology, definitions of basic archaeological terms, how archaeologists determine where and why to dig, what is a tel, why is stratigraphy and pottery so important, and much more.

If you want to go further, grab Currid's, The Case for Biblical Archaeology: Uncovering the Historical the Record of God's Old Testament People.

Though another introduction, this work is far more in depth (and worth every penny). Currid breaks down time periods (Bronze Age, Iron Age, etc.), definitions of terms are expanded, there are numerous maps, color photos, diagrams, and much more, all to assist the reader with a broader understanding of the subject. Many digs from north to south and east to west are detailed in their findings and each is given a "For Further Reading" section for the reader to explore much more.

Dig in friends, there is so much to learn!
