Sources Consulted


As stated elsewhere, I do not claim any credentials other than Christ. If someone with insight and scholarship beyond my own would have substantial contributions to my study, I would warmly welcome it. Seeking such persons is largely the purpose of this site.

It should be recognized that Biblical study is at least equal parts scholarship and revelation. The scholarship is what may be known according to human mentality. The revelation is what the Holy Spirit teaches according to the human spirit. Revelation that has no foundation in the Word is likely false. Likewise, scholarship without the light of the Spirit is mere vanity. The Bible is, at bottom, a spiritual book written in human words. Only when the human and the divine are matched and mixed can one apprehend the Holy Word of God.

NEW!  The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible: The Oldest Known Bible Translated for the First Time into English
Martin G. Abegg  Peter Flint  Eugene Charles Ulrich

Three eminent Biblical scholars have translated previously unpublished Biblical manuscripts for inclusion into this book which contains all 220 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, with hundreds of new and different readings from the Old Testament. Includes clear, concise commentary.
From The Publisher
"From the dramatic find in the caves of Qumran, The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible presents the world's most precious and ancient version of the Bible. One thousand years older than any existing manuscripts, these scrolls allow us to read the Bible as it was in the time of Jesus.  Preserving parts of all but one biblical book, the scrolls confirm that the text of the Old Testament as it has been handed down through the ages is largely correct. Yet, they also reveal numerous important differences. The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible offers new and striking textual readings that clarify millennia-old puzzles; restores lost psalms; reveals previously unknown details about the lives of biblical figures; and provides new information on how the Hebrew Bible was created."--BOOK JACKET.
