Free Resources on the Gender Debate

by Phil Gons on September 18th, 2007

free-resources-on-the-gender-debate.jpgThe Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood (CBMW) has launched a new website, which has a host of free resources available. These include articles, journal articles, book reviews, sermons, conference audio, and online books. They also have a new Gender blog, to which you can subscribe.

There’s a lot of great stuff here that you’ll want to make use of. I downloaded quite a bit last night and started listening to Bruce Ware’s lecture “Feminist Revisions of the Doctrine of God.” It is facinating to me how both complementarians and egalitarians are charging each other with revising the doctrine of the Trinity—and heretically so—to fit their preconceived view of gender roles.

New X-ray Makes Ancient Texts Readable: Formerly unreadable manuscripts are now decipherable (HT: Engadget).

The hidden content in ancient works could be illuminated by a light source 10 billion times brighter than the Sun. The technique employs Britain’s new facility, the Diamond synchrotron, and could be used on works such as the Dead Sea Scrolls or musical scores by Bach.

Hundreds of Free ETS Papers!

by Phil Gons on September 10th, 2007

hundreds-of-free-ets-papers.jpgI posted this on my personal blog last night and thought it was too good not to repost here.

Reclaiming the Mind Ministries has just announced the launching of their online Theological Library, which contains hundreds of ETS papers from the last five years. The papers are (1) free, (2) fully searchable with selectable text for copying and pasting (most of them),1 and (3) available for viewing online2 or downloading and viewing as PDFs. There’s a wealth of helpful material there that I’m sure you’ll want to take advantage of!

Continue reading ‘Hundreds of Free ETS Papers!’

Notes
  1. I stumbled across one out of a couple dozen that didn’t have selectable text. It appears that the vast majority do. [↩ back]
  2. They currently have a problem displaying superscripted text; an inch of blank space appears before every footnote. [↩ back]

Two New Bible Visualization Tools

by Phil Gons on September 4th, 2007

two-new-bible-visualization-tools.jpgI came across two new online tools that allow you to see visually some helpful data from Scripture.

Bible Word Locator

The first is called the Bible Word Locator, and it comes from OpenBible.info. (These are the same folks who brought us the Bible Geocoding, which we blogged about back in March.) It’s helpful tool that allows you to see in a snapshot where a word occurs throughout the entire Bible. Once you visualize your search, it’s fun to try to figure out the context of the occurrences. Give it a try!

by Phil Gons on June 28th, 2007

Coalition SiteThe Gospel Coalition website has launched and has numerous helpful resources: articles, audio, and video from men like Bruce A. Ware, C. J. Mahaney, D. A. Carson, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Tim Keller.

The Gospel Coalition is a response to the tragic neglect of the gospel—the very heart of Scripture and the Christian faith—in so much of modern-day evangelicalism.

To find out more, check out this short summary of its core beliefs and purpose. For a fuller discussion, see the Foundational Documents.

New Version of Bible: YouVersion

by Phil Gons on June 26th, 2007

YouVersionLifeChurch.tv just announced their new Web 2.0 version of the Bible: YouVersion.

YouVersion is a free online Bible that allows users to associate video, audio, images, text, tags, and links to other websites with any verse or series of verses in the Bible. Each piece of contributed content can be labeled as public or private, so the application can be used both as a personal study tool and a public expression of user-generated commentary. In addition to contributing content, Scripture can be organized by assigning user-defined “tags” to any verse of the Bible.

For users who are skeptical about whether the Bible has application for their lives, YouVersion provides a platform to learn from the experiences and perspectives of others from around the world in a non-threatening and easily navigated environment.

Read the whole post and check out the YouVersion site (soon to be available in the alpha testing stage), features, and blog to find out more.
