I have an ESV MacArthur Study Bible and am blessed with a job where I can listen to sermons and teachings all day. <br /><br />I would like to add some other tools to my study such as a Bible handbook, whole Bible commentary, Bible dictionary, and whatever may be of good use for myself. I'm aware of sites like biblos.com where I can read some free commentaries, lexicons, and other tools, but really am looking for some book recommendations to take me in further depth with my study.

Apparently one of the female "scholars" working on this "translation" was a bit too carefree with her choices of words. Obviously the Baker Handbook doesn't do anything near, but I tend to think academic resources are much better being academic and less playful.Solameaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869424956571944997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-89276824602092952742012-01-03T08:47:02.969-08:002012-01-03T08:47:02.969-08:00Nice review.
