Added Greek New Testament Daily Readings

I have now added the Resurgence Greek Project site www.zhubert.com to my blog and hope that it will give daily readings from the Greek New Testament on this site.This is the site by Zach Hubert and formerly accessed at a previous web page. Just put your mouse over the Scripture reference and click on it which will then hyperlink to the reading of the day!!

Bible Arc-ing

I have started using another magnificent program for studying and analyzing the Scriptures. It is based on the principles taught by Fuller Seminary's Emeritus Professor, Dr. Daniel Fuller and espoused by others such as Dr. John Piper. The website is http://www.biblearc.com/
Try it out, see what amazing things you can do and discover from the Bible passage you are studying, and then support Andy, the seminary student who designed the program that got this resource online! Thanks to Andy, we can all benefit from Professor Fuller's approach even if we didn't complete our Seminary Studies from Fuller Seminary!
If only ScriptureDirect [ http://www.scripturedirect.com referred to and linked in a previous entry on this blog] and BibleArc could combine their approaches into one program - wow would that make NT studies and exegesis rock [and roll]!

ESV Study Bible

Thankfully I received the other day a free copy of the ESV Study Bible from Crossway Books. I have begun looking at this wonderful Study Bible and will be using it in comparison of the,I think, equally wonderful NLT Study Bible referred to in an earlier posting on this blog. I have already purchased a leather edition of the ESV Study Bible which arrived on the same day as the hardback edition. future postings will include mind map comparisons of these two fantastic resources.
Here is the address for the ESV Study Bible that you can try using chapters from the Gospel of Matthew http://www.esvstudybible.org

Many Eyes: John 5 Words as a Tag Cloud showing 142 out of 142 words
And here is the example of John 5 with an alpha ordered list of the 142 words in the text. Put your mouse cursor over any of the words and you will see the reference and context in which that word appears for each of the times it is present in the text!!
Try it out!What do you think about these possibilities?

Many Eyes: Jesus in John 5

Many Eyes: Jesus in John 5
Here is a Word Tree of John 5. Just change the word entered in the search box and watch the format change. Try the word believe, Father, sent. You will get a different perspective on the various emphases of John 5!

Here is another perspective on John 5 using a different visualization layout.

Please be patient as it takes a few seconds to load. It must load Java first then the visualization.
Here is a new way of visualizing text that I am trying out. This is in a form called Wordle. I can also visualize the text in a Text Cloud or in a Word Tree.
I shall add these as samples later.
