Review of Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament (Metzger) CD

This textual commentary is designed to be used in conjunction with the United Bible Societies' (UBS) Greek New Testament 4th ed. and its greatest utility will be found within that scope of use. Nevertheless, there are uses for others, even non-greek readers; however, the utility will obviously be less as this book was not written with you in mind. The pupose of this commentary is best given through a quote from the book's introduction:

"Most commentaries on the Bible seek to explain the meaning of words, phrases, and ideas of the scriptural text in their nearer and wider context; a textual commentary, however, is concerned with the prior question, What is the original text of the passage? That such a question must be asked - and answered! - before one explains the meaning of the text arises from two circumstances: (a) none of the original documents of the Bible is extant today, and (b) the existing copies differ from one another."

The commentary is basically a verse-by-verse list of the all of the verse's identified by UBS as having variant readings in the Greek texts from which the 4th ed was compiled. Without such a tool we are left to look at the readings which were chosen, perhaps the variants which were provided, and guess why UBS made the decision that was made. Looking at variant readings in both English and Greek texts one has very little indication of what sort of weight which variant carries. So, the commentary is basically a verse-by-verse, variant-by-variant list of variant readings along with the determination made by UBS along with the the following categories regarding the certainty of the reading which has been chosen:
A: The text is certain
B: The text is almost certain
C: The committee had difficulty in deciding which variant reading to place in the text

Each decision is accompanied by a paragraph-form (often many paragraphs) explanation of why the committee's determination was made in the way it was making great use of major texts and transmission lines.

This commentary has proven very useful to me. In my opinion the introduction alone, explaining textual transmission and the issues at hand, is worth the purchase price alone, but once you purchase this commentary and realize its usefulness, it will likely become an oft-referred to member of your library.

I have opted to purchase the Libronix version and have found seamless integration, as expected. Because of its verse-by-verse nature, the Textual Commentary is a no-brainer for Logos publication. If you own Libronix I would highly recommend purchasing it in this format rather than the traditional print version.

The only thing keeping me from offering 5 stars to the book is that the only book with a thorough textual transmission introduction is Acts. This is extremely helpful and deals with issues which are only superficially, ignorantly, or inadequately dealt with in other commentaries. I am very greatful for the work of Metzger and UBS for writing it. However, I think that if an intro were available for the rest of the books, the commentary would be very well rounded. Nevertheless, the Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament accomplishes its stated purposes very well and has proven extremely useful to me.
-Jacob Hantla

Product Description
This work is a companion volume to the fourth edition of the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament (UBS4), published by the German Bible Society on behalf of the United Bible Societies early in 1993. It will also make a great companion to the upcoming Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible, which contains the critical apparatus of the NA27 Novum Testamentum Graece. - Benjamin Chapman, author of Greek New Testament Insert, says this of Metzger's Textual Commentary: - "One does not have to be a textual critic to benefit from the results of textual criticism. A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, edited by Bruce M. Metzger, provides concise comments and explanations for the choices among variants made by the editorial committee that produced the United Bible Societies' The Greek New Testament. The Textual Commentary is in plain English and requires no technical skills of its readers. Every interpreter should at least open this book to his text and read the few paragraphs there concerning whatever variants may be involved."

Review of Learn Hebrew Now!

When I first got this I was a bit disappointed.For the price, the graphics are really dreadful and I found it very hard to get started.The program is based on the "immersion environment", however, the immersion is so complete that even though I've completed both comprehensive Pimsleur Hebrew courses, I found myself completely bewildered.The dialogue is complicated and extremely fast.There is a "slow" mode which I do not find particularly helpful since the tracks have been digitally slowed.To me, this just distorts the pronunciation of the words and, if anything, makes it harder to understand.

Having said all of that, after playing with the program off and on while continuing to use other products as my main method of study, I have found some features of this program that I really like.For example the "Before You Know It" flashcard section is great!The flashcards can be shown to you in a number of different ways: pictures, English words, Hebrew words, etc., so that you can test your translation into Hebrew and also back to English.This is a really easy way to boost your vocabulary.(Although, I understand that you can get at least some BYKY products online for free and the selection included with this program is very limited).

Another thing I like about the program is that it really helps with reading Hebrew.One aspect of the immersion environment consists of dialogues that will play the Hebrew audio while you follow along with the text on the screen.You can also set the window to show translations on the bottom (sort of like subtitles).Or you can turn off the English translations to test your reading/comprehension; if you get stuck on a word, just click on the one word or phrase and the translation will pop up.

The games are fun if you enjoy cross-words, fill-in the blanks, etc., but don't expect any cute or exciting graphics.The games are probably more effective at drilling spelling than anything else, so if your primary goal is to speak the language, you may not find the games very useful.

Overall, I will continue to use the program, but I definitely would not recommend this to someone just getting started.I think that if you had no previous experience with Hebrew you would be utterly frustrated.BUT if you want to sharpen up your reading skills and get used to hearing Hebrew spoken at a more normal pace, this would be a good addition to your Hebrew learning library.

Review of PC Study Bible 4 Complete Reference Library

I HAVE REVISED THIS REVIEW IN LIGHT OF THE RESPONSE (SEE ABOVE) FROM KIRT WILLIS, AN EMPLOYEE OF THE PUBLISHER
(...)
I have been a user of PC Study Bible since version 2 in 1998. the new interface in v4 alleviates most of the problems from previous versions which showed their DOS/early Windows roots. The incremental releases, up to the current v4.3 have also added some additional functionality that is much appreciated.

In addition, my experience with Biblesoft's customer support has been extremely positive. They are prompt to answer and always answer thoroughly.

What bothers me is that when I bought my original version back in '98 I was pretty green with knowledge of various Bible study tools (commentaries, lexicons, etc). I have since discovered that over half of the resources that Biblesoft included in this "Complete Reference Library" set are public domain and can be found for free on the web or in other programs. Even the "Bonus CD" has a large percentage of public domain resources.

I still own PCSB and use it when needed. However, I have discovered e-Sword, a free Bible study program with many free resources available for it, many of which you would have to pay for with PCSB. While perhaps not as flexible, it has suited my studies just fine. Plus, there is a very active online community of e-Sword users (primarily on Yahoo Groups) that have made many other resources available for free as well offering help when needed. There are also some free, third party tools available for creating your own resources in e-Sword, similar to the "Authoring System" in PCSB.

Biblesoft, like most commercial bible study software publishers, seems to be built on a business model of selling you their base "package" products and then charging extra for add-ons, which are the things you really want. But it has been my experience that other companies such as Logos and WordSearch include fewer public domain resources in their base package offerings than Biblesoft does. Why pay over $250 for mostly public domain materials?

PCSB is great as a general study tool and the authoring system is nice (though not as good as the one in Bible Explorer.) While PC Study Bible does offer some things that you can't get for free (online or with e-Sword, etc.) there are other commercially available products that I think are better and more powerful, especially if you are planning to get into original language studies. I'd personally recommend the Logos Bible Study Software as a good choice.



Product Description
PC Study Bible Version 4 from BIBLESOFT includes 41 Bibles!It gives you the tools you need to explore the heart and depths of every Bible passage -multiple Bible translations and concordances, an entire library of unparalleled reference works, full-color maps and photos, personal study and authoring tools, online resources and free downloads, an easy-to-use interface, and so much more!

Review of Old Testament New Testament Exegesis Books (Stuart & Fee) CD

I think that the best way to describe the purpose of the book is to steal the first paragraph from the author's preface to the first edition: "A former New Testament colleague was once asked by a student how he could learn to do exegesis, intending that his teacher should suggest a book. My colleague answered, 'You will just have to take a course.' That answer is the tacit admission of what all of us who teach NT know to be true: There simply is no book that serves either as a textbook or a guide for students to learn the exegetical process, from the opening of their Bibles to the writing of the paper. This book hopes to fill that lacuna."

This book's target audience is an academic one whose end to exegesis will be a paper (or an expository sermon), but as a layman I have found it to be extremely helpful, even indispensable, in my exegetical endeavors to better learn and therefore accurately apply the Word of God. Also, the book is written primarily for those who know Greek (I do not know enough to even be dangerous); however, in the new edition Fee has made the attempt to provide alternative exercises (such as compare many different versions and maybe use a textual commentary to try to determine as close as possible the original) for the English only student.

CHAPTER 1: Guide for Full Exegesis
Chapter 1 basically organized in outline form, providing first the "initial steps for all genres," first naming the major exegetical step that must be performed and then providing more and more detailed information and guidance on each step. Then moving past the steps that are the same for all genres, Fee gives the steps necessary for various genres (i.e. Epistles, Gospels, Revelation, etc). Finally the chapter ends with a section on moving from interpretation to application.

CHAPTER 2: Exegesis and the Original Text
Also arranged in outline format with the following sections (1) Structural Analysis, (2) Establishing the Text, (3) Analysis of Grammer, (4) Analysis of Words, (5) Historical-Cultural Background, and (6) Analysis of Pericope. Just as in the other chapters, the outline works from very general headings and general paragraphs of information to very specific and technical subheadings.

CHAPTER 3: Short Guide for Sermon Exegesis
I find myself often in Chatper 3 as I study as Fee uses this chapter to show how good, solid exegesis will move into the most powerful, Word-filled sermons. If you teach from the Word (as a pastor, small group leader, youth group leader, whatever) I recommend this book and this chapter in addition to Rediscovering Expository Preaching by MacArthur et al.

CHAPTER 4: AIDS & RESOURCES FOR THE STEPS IN EXEGESIS
Fees ends in referring the student to othe very useful resources organized by type.

I would be amiss if I did not address the one downside to this book which I believe is the temptation to "do the steps" and skip the prayer, the heartsearching, the repentance, the awe, the worship. An unregenerate person can "do the steps" and if done responsibly come up with an exegetical position, maybe even a correct one. We cannot know God through human wisdom (1 Cor 1:21). Fee mentions this temptation, but it is by no means the focus of the book, nor should it be. The temptation to be purely academic in Bible study is a great one, and a "how to" book on the subject could propagate this error in some. However the book should not be condemned simply because the method of presentation (which is a highly effective one) could be taken by the cold hearts of some to their folly. Rather, understand the evil of your own heart which is always beside you (Romans 7:21), crucify your flesh, repent where necessary, and seek the truth of God which is found in the Bible with a disciplined, passionate fervor. It is in this final endeavor that "New Testament Exegesis" is invaluable.

Finally, if you use Libronix Digital Library System, I would STRONGLY recommend you go ahead and buy this along with Stuart's Old Testament Exegesis book for Logos. If not you will find yourself with a dog-eared and bookmarked book as you flip back and forth as Fee makes extensive use of referencing other portions of his text.

Product Description
These two books have been standards texts for exegesis classes around the world for more than twenty years. Each serves as a step-by-step guide to the process of exegesis, and both feature annotated bibliographies for the entire process. New Testament Exegesis provides detailed introductions to standard reference works and instructions on how to use (and get the most out of) things like the critical apparatus, the BDAG lexicon, and other texts. - These books have influenced the design of Logos Bible Software, and many of the texts referenced in these works are already available in Libronix DLS format for use with it; others will be available in the future.

Review of Scholar's Collection 6 Core Bundle

For biblical scholars and students who are Mac users, there is no need to look further than than the constantly evolving and resolutely powerful Accordance Bible Software from OakTree software.

I have used this product since its inception. It continues to move from strength to strength, providing simple and complex search resources for biblical texts in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek; Second Temple Judaism and post-biblical Jewish texts (including Mishna, Qumran, and the Targums) in Aramaic and Hebrew, and a host of other Bibles and classical sources. Many or most of these are grammatically tagged.

You can also add on modules like the classic Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew-Aramaic lexicon (the famous 'BDB') and the fabulous Koehler-Baumgartner dictionary. I have not even kept up with OakTree Software's recent forays into Bible Atlases and Photo Guides, but I've seen enough to know that I'll be impressed when I do.

As a value added, the good folks at OakTree put on workshops for users, where oohs and ahs are to be heard emanating from users like me who suddenly realize that Accordance can even do *that*!

Perhaps most remarkably of all, OakTree staff actually answer phone calls and emails, promptly, helpfully, and without making you feel like a techno-maggot.

Product Description
Whether you're a pastor, student, translator, or Bible scholar, the Accordance Scholar's Collection gives you everything you need to explore the original Greek and Hebrew texts. Most of the Greek and Hebrew texts available on this CD-ROM are "tagged" with information about the dictionary form of each word, as well as its grammatical analysis. This enables you to examine the original languages of Scripture with unprecedented power and ease. Position your cursor over any word to see its lexical form and parsing. Triple-click to look it up in your favorite lexicon. Search by lexical form to find every inflected form of a word. Access statistical information about how many times a particular grammatical form is used. You can even construct complex grammatical searches using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface! The Core Bundle includes the Scholar's Collection 6.1 and Bible Unlock CD-ROMs with Accordance 6.1.2, KJV and Apocrypha, ASV, six Parallel databases, Greek New Testament NA27, BHS with Westminster Hebrew Morphology, Louw & Nida Semantic Domain Lexicon, Thayer's Greek Lexicon, Brown-Driver-Briggs Abridged Hebrew Lexicon, and your choice of one $30 Bible. Additional grammatically tagged modules available for unlocking on this CD-ROM include the Greek Septuagint, Mishna, Qumran Manuscripts, Targums, Apostolic Fathers, Inscriptions, and Pseudepigrapha. Other add-on modules include Greek and Hebrew lexicons, grammars, and unique scholarly tools.

Review of Bible Study Library CD-ROM - Logos Bible Software 3

I have been using the software for about a week and am still discovering cool things it does.The Logos site has a number of instructional videos that will go a long way in getting you started with the software.An instructional DVD was included with the software and I found it quite useful in learning the program.I am running the program on a 4 year old Dell.The program installed without a hitch.Although the program is somewhat slow to load (at startup) it functions quite fast when moving between resources.It can be customized easily to function at the level and interest of the user.The programmers did their homework in anticipating the end users needs.Thus far, it has exceeded my expectations in content and ease of use.Logos makes several levels of the program to meet the needs of everyone from the novice user to serious students of the Bible.I looked at each one so that I could buy what I needed without giving up resources or over-buying.The Logos site provides a nice comparison chart to help with the decision. Adding resources later is much more expensive than purchasing the program level you need initially.

Review of A Greek - English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature Third Edition (BDAG) On CD-ROM

This dictionary is over-rated and not worth the money.Yes the format of the 3rd Edition is an improvement, since in early editions it was hard to mine through all the data to get to the point.Bauer is still too wordy, and for the price of this book you can get a Thayer, and LSJ Middle, and a Greek concordance to the NT.

Product Description
Third Edition (copyright 2000) by Walter Bauer Edited and revised by Frederick William Danker. Described as an "invaluable reference work" (Classical Philology) and "a tool indispensable for the study of early Christian literature" (Religious Studies Review) in its previous edition, this new updated American edition of Walter Bauer's Wörterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments builds on its predecessor's staggering deposit of extraordinary erudition relating to Greek literature from all periods. Including entries for many more words, the new edition also lists more than 25,000 additional references to classical, intertestamental, Early Christian, and modern literature. The Libronix DLS Edition The BDAG print edition introduces typographical enhancements to help the reader quickly scan the page and locate desired information. These typographical features serve as visual landmarks indicating various categories of information. For the digital edition, we brought these typographical enhancements to the screen but went one step further. We also created a special software feature called "BDAG Search" that uses the typographical formatting as searchable fields.

Not necessary if other Logos packages (Silver and Gold) purchased (which has this contained within).
