Bible Answer: Hi Billingclerk, www.e-sword.net has free downloads of many Bible translations, Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, commentaries, and various other study helps, along with a free software package to access it all. It requires very little hard drive space, and runs fast. Suffice to say, I like it! :-) Another online source is www.blueletterbible.org. Although it can take longer to access materials if you have a slower computer, it to contains a vast amount of information. I prefer these types of resources because they give me access to a dozen or more commentaries on a particular passage in moments. The best commentary on the Bible is the Bible, so always look at related passages first, using a concordance, or word search in the software. The best Commentator is the Holy Spirit, so alway read a passage several times, in prayer, meditating on it, and if you do not understand it, a commentary may sometimes help. But always remember, a commentary is not the Bible, and different commentaries say many different things. Judge carefully what you read, and reject anything that does not completely agree with the Bible. Love in Christ, Mark |
