It is doable. I can probably get it done, but I've got 4 or 5 projects ahead of it in line. What's your opinion on the commentary itself?

Brad


Oops! I'd edited my post after you replied, Brad. I removed the link that I had posted since it was only to the 1st volume and not to the entire work.

I find the commentary to be interesting. It's not perfect, of course. But when I'm checking through commentaries I do often find myself checking Alford's commentary to see what he has to say.

Thanks for putting his New Testament for English Readers commentary on your "to do" list. :)

Most of these were converted at one point in time for e-Sword. I had most of them in pre-9 versions. Am working with some people to recover some of my long lost modules and maybe bring them back.
Grace and Peace,

Greetings All,

I just downloaded and installed e-Sword about a month or so ago. When I was on the web site checking the program out prior to downloading I saw a screen shoot of e-Sword open and running. I noticed in the list of installed modules one for the NIV Bible. This is mostly what motivated me to start using s-Sword. However, now I can find nowhere to download the NIV either free or for a fee.

Where is it?

Don't get me wrong I love e-Sword and am poking around in it regularly but sure would like to get the NIV on here.

P.S. One nice surprise was the Thai KJV. Way cool! I am a missionary in Thailand and am in that module all the time.

From within e-Sword, use the menu "Download" and select "Bibles"...... the NIV is in the paid section, below free.

Hello, all! Grace and peace upon you in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I am wondering about a few items, and as I've not had the time to really search in depth for them, please forgive me if they were hiding in plain sight.

The first item I'm looking for is a complete set of Apocrypha. This would include everything from the Book of Enoch to the Shepherd. I do a lot of work in early church history and patristic thought, and this resource would be of tremendous help.

The second item I'm looking for is simply Foxes Book of Martyrs. Someone told me it is available, but I've not seen it. If there is a decent substitute out there, I'd be happy to go with that. (Jesus Freaks, for instance, was a great substitute for my hard copy Book of Martyrs.)

The third and final item, thus far, is a bit more hard to come by than I'd expected. I'm looking for a full and complete copy of the Talmud. English or Hebrew version, it does not matter.


Thanks, everyone, for any help you're able to give!

May God richly bless you all!


EDIT: Changed "Torah" to "Talmud." Thanks for the patience!



TheWord has enoch and some more stuff, e-sword is my first choice, but use theWord for stuff I can't find on e-sword. Would love to convert myWord to e-sword modules :)

There's not enough ancient languages in any free Bible software. We need Old Church Slavic (outside of Slavonic Bible), Classical Armenian, Classical Georgian, Ethiopic, Old Latin (at least one), Old English portions, Old Saxon fragments, etc. And where's Sahidic Coptic ? That's the standard, not Bohairic.

You know, this is a typical Protestants thing, that they lack any sense of non-fictional history. All these ancient translations are really reverent and strict to their original languages, while the Protestants fill their bible softwares with thousands of fake Bibles which counterfeit the Bible for a thousand non-Christian agendas, like feminism, socialism, and global warming. There's only one real translation in English, the 1582/1610 Real Douay Rheims (the 1752 Fake Douay Rheims is not a bible), and there's only one ancient language un-corrupted by ancient Greek heretics (do any of you even know who the monothelites or the nestorians are?) or the Jews --- Latin, in particular the Clementine Vulgate.

Enough said. We would all benefit from less modern mistranslations and carefuller study of not only early Bible translations, but also early Christian histories and exactly where the many squabbling, disobedient, conflicting, perpetually-splintering Protestant or Orthodox or Ethiopic churches came from and where they're headed. Catholicism is the only 2000 year old Christianity, the only one with Christ's real teaching and continuity with the Early Church Fathers and the Bible when it's accurately translated.

There's not enough ancient languages in any free Bible software.


The major reasons for that situation:
  • The writing system that is used is not supported by the software;
  • The data is not available in electronic format under a license that allows for format shifting and third party re-distribution;
  • There are no critical editions of the Bible in the language in question;
  • Few laity know those langauges;
  • Seminaries focus on Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and, maybe, Aramaic;
You could think of it this way. Would you learn Japanese in order to read the extant tenth century translation of the Bible into Japanese?

As far as the rest of your post goes, BibleSupport.com does not tolerate discussions about theology and doctrine.
