resources for students of the Septuagint
three tremendous helps from Hendrickson publishers
With Hendrickson's release in late 2018 of the Reader's Septuagint, I began looking for resources to help me in my LXX reading and study. Thankfully, Hendrickson has also blessed us with a host of books to deepen our knowledge of Septuagint Greek. This post will review three. The first two have been around for several years . . .
God's Word...a groundbreaking translation
With the recent announcement of a new, wide-margin edition of the God's Word translation of the bible, I thought it appropriate to look at some of the best features and translation choices of this lesser known bible translation. When first introduced in 1995 many of these translation choices were novel. Since then, . . .
review: The Greek New Testament, Reader's Edition, Produced at Tyndale House
I recently wrote a quick review of the three main Greek Reader's New Testaments available today.

review: CSB Ancient Faith Study Bible
For years, I have longed for a study bible that combined the best English translation in print with Patristic commentary from the early church. The Orthodox Study Bible is a great resource that has been in print for years, but it doesn't have enough commentary to satisfy. Concordia's Lutheran Study Bible has some great quotes . . .
