Dear Cuddle, I write in my Bible, following the old Protestant president dating from the 1600's. I put anything there that might be pertinent the next time I read a text. Including Greek and Hebrew word meanings, other references, or short outlines. I am particularly fond of putting down linked references. For example, if I do a topical study, I write down the fore and aft references. In other words, the reference to the previous passage associated with the study, and references to the following passage associated with the study. The last passage will point forward to the first passage, and vice versa. Consequently, when I find any one of them, I can loop back around to all the rest. I use colors, too, I'm afraid. Since our study of Scripture is an effort to study God, I have highlighted each of the Persons in the Trinity, and their related pronouns. I use green for the Father, yellow for the son, and pink for the Holy Spirit. (I don't know why, but I've been using that color scheme for years!) Consequently, I can quickly pick out passages that speak to the nature of God from His self-revelation. I often use E-Sword, like you! I have it open in a window on my computer at all times. I use a variety of concordances, but most often use Vines and Strongs. I also use a variety of commentaries -- but only to validate that I've not gone astray in my own exegetical efforts. Then I generally use those which have been proven by the church through time. I also generally prefer the more interpretive commentaries, rather than the inspirational or devotional ones. In Him, Doc PS I had a friend who collected old Bibles. It was fascinating seeing one of the old Puritan Bibles. It was the Geneva translation. There were notes in the margins, but they were almost impossible to read! I hadn't realized that cursive writing had changed so much in the last 350 years. But the most awesome one in my friend's collection, was an old Huguenot Bible. They were terribly persecuted by the Roman Church. For some reason (unknown to me) when the soldiers would kill a Huguenot, they would "baptize" the victim's Bible in his blood. I actually got to hold one of those Bibles. It still brings tears at the thought of it. |
