Hi Lionheart, You've already got a good base, and it looks like others here have given you some excellent suggestions. The only thing I can really add to this is to suggest using study software such as e-sword (www.e-sword.net), blue letter Bible (www.blueletterbible.com) - these are free - or PowerBible, Quick Verse, or others, that you can purchase costing from 5.00 to 1000.00. A major benefit of these is the speed with which you can cover a vast amount of material. Using e-sword, for example, you can compare a couple of dozen translations from over the past 500 years, comparing to the original languages, and utilizing multiple dictionary, encyclopedic, and atlas entries in a matter of minutes. Software also give you the ability to quickly gather every usage of a particular word, phrase, or various forms of a word, to see how it is used, and to see the meaning scripture gives. The only thing I caution is, whereas commentaries certianly have value, whether in print, on line, or on this forum, always study a passage yourself first, prayfully, thoroughly, seeking God's before man's. There are many many many commentaries, and opinions expressed that are just not true, although for those passages that remain confusing, sifting through other peoples thoughts can sometimes be enlightening. One other suggestion is that you research the manuscript backround of of various translations, so as you come across differences in verions of the Bible, you understand where they come from. Obviously, if the same verse reads differently in two different versions, only one can be accurate. It behooves each of us to be diligent to know to the best of our ability what the actual Word of God is. This, however, is an entirely different topic than what you asked about. If you wish additional information, you may contact me at markdseyler(at)yahoo.com. Love in Christ, Mark |
