Welcome

Welcome Nanette! I've really enjoyed your comments on Jim F.'s Sunday school lessons, and look forward to hearing more of your thoughts here. We all know the wiki takes a bit of getting used to, so if you have any questions or need to experiment, please don't be shy to ask or be self-conscious at all. --RobertC 15:37, 25 Jan 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, RobertC. I do feel a bit like I'm talking into a wind tunnel...but your "welcome" ended the echo...thanks. I feel very much the hillbilly of this group as I read everyone's erudite comments with well connected credentials. I think my biggest question is how to access information, i.e. Greek Bible, word entymology, etc. There must be some "favorite" sources ya'll use. Mind sharing what they are? Again, thanks for the response.
Forgive me, Robert, I just visited your homepage & saw your suggestions for further study. I'll follow up with those links. Feel free to give me further advice if you have it. Regards. --User:Nanette

My page is very much out of date, sorry. Here are the resources I find most helpful:

  • NeXt Bible: This is a great place to get good alternate translations and a few helpful notes (I think the NRSV is the best and most commonly used translation by scholars nowdays; the NASB is a good, literal translation).
  • BLB: Great online resource for Greek and Hebrew study. Click on the "C" to the left of each verse to see word-for-word translations, and click on the Strong's number next to each word to open a page giving a definition of each word (interlinear text) and all the uses of that word in the Bible--very handy....
  • Dr. Constable's Bible Study Notes: This is the best free, online commentary I've found. Be sure to use the bookmarks to navigate the pdf files (the Matthew file is 418 pages!).

The goal of the site, as I understand it, is just to provide a venue and a resource to encourage scripture study on whatever topic or level users are interested in, so don't worry about being hillbilly or erudite, just be yourself! --RobertC 03:20, 26 Jan 2007 (UTC)
