Historical Jesus and New Perspectives on Paul resources

 

Here's a list I compiled a while ago for a bible study group:

Website resources

www.artscroll.com:  An excellent source of hardcopy resources covering Judaic theology, bible study for purchase. I found the Chumash and the Siddur particularly useful.

www.e-sword.net:  Free bible study software can be downloaded from here.  This software package is free but the author encourages you to make a donation toward his ministry.  There is an abundance of commentaries, dictionaries and additional writings that can be useful.  Most are older public domain resources but over the last few years a small number of publishing houses have signed up with e-sword allowing their resources to be purchased and used in the program. 

www.ffoz.org:  This is the official website of the organisation that published the Ha Yesod and Torah Club studies.  The pdf file with the parasha readings for the year can be downloaded from here.  One can also subscribe to a mailing list to receive a free weekly reading and commentary.

www.hebrew4christians.com:  An easily accessible site with interesting resources and articles covering many aspects of Hebraic roots such as backgrounds on biblical festivals and the Lord’s Prayer.

www.jcstudies.org: Website where you may purchase the study materials such as the Behold the Man study series, produced by the late D Pryor. 

www.jerusalemperspective.com:  A site with many well-researched articles from a collaboration of Jewish and Gentile authors on First Century Judaism and how it relates to the Synoptic Gospels.  Many are free but most available for purchase at a modest price.

www.logos.com: The Gold Standard in bible study software.  They have done a great job over the years of signing up modern publishing houses to integrate their resources into their program.  This allows the material to be quickly searched and cross referenced.  Expensive in comparison to e-sword but then users gain access to a vast array of modern scholarship not available in e-sword, all interlinked.  Needs a modern computer for acceptable performance.  A growing collection of Judaic resources.  Jewish Publication Society of America is one of the principal suppliers.  Complete versions of the Mishah, Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds are also available.

www.mechon-mamre.org/:  This site has free OT bible software that includes many Jewish commentaries (mishnahs).  Here you will find the Hebrew Bible (Tana"kh) and the RaMBaM's Complete Restatement of the Oral Law (Mishneh Torah).  The Bible and Mishneh Torah texts have been carefully prepared, and they are as accurate as found in the very finest printed editions.  (Additional materials are also provided, but they are not the heart of this site.
