Greentwiga: Thank you for your pleasant response. I am touched to hear you have been in missions work. My heart is there as well, and I have been to Bolivia twice, and Columbia, Panama, and Mexico seven times. Bible study by doing word studies or attempting to translate in your own words is exciting, but majorly time comsuming, and worth every minute. The main tools I use are THE INTERLINER HEBREW-ARAMAIC OLD TESTAMENT and the INTERLINEAR GREEK-ENGLISH NEW TESTAMENT 4 volume set by Jay P. Green, and the THEOLOGICAL WORDBOOK OF THE OLD TESTAMENT by R. Laird Harris, Gleason L.Archer,Jr., and Bruce K. Waltke. Perhaps the tool I find I refer to most is VINES EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY OF THE NEW TESTAMNET WORDS. I also have the Exhaustive Concordances for the KJV. NRSV, the NIV, the older NASB and the Updated NASB, and Youngs. For me it seems like any Christian wanting to grow would have at least an Exhaustive Concordance. But my experience is few know how to really dig into the WORD. For most of my personal studies have been in the NIV and it was not until three years ago did I prefer the NASB because of the Updated version. The more relevent wording change in the Old Testament made all the difference for me. What tools do you use in your study? I am always interested in how others study and perhaps learn of better or newer tools. Blessings. justme |

Wow! I was in Kenya Africa, working with Hindus and Muslims for only three years. Like you, I tend to avoid the commentaries and search for myself. A good study Bible with cross references is essential to me. I am using the NIV, but it is getting worn out. Know a good way to get it rebound in leather? I once had a NASB rebound by a monk. I am thinking about returning to the NASB. The updated version sounds great. I have strongs and the NIV exhaustive concordances. Otherwise, I am a voracious reader of the ancient cultures. This keeps my interpretations fitting the Bible and ancient societies. (eg. Gen 6 - sons of God marrying daughters of men.) I am just getting into some internet Bible resources, especially ones that look up phrases instead of just words. I used to own a greek english interlinear, but it was left in Kenya. | ||||||
