See this link on the official e-sword site.

A very special thanks goes out to all of you wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ who gave towards the purchase of the W.B. Riley 40 volume commentary set. We have reached our goal. Thank you so very much. Now, it's a waiting while working game. This is going to be a fabulous addition to our e-Sword addition. God bless you all!

 

FYI: Book set ordered

I would love to see the Mcguffey Readers with graphics.My other request would be The Evolution Cruncher with graphics. They offer a number of downloads free anyway on their site.

Great day everyone.  Are there any verse by verse Commentary modules for the apocrypha--especially the books of Maccabees?

 

Thanks so much.

Josh Bond I have had e-sword since before Rick Meyers was selling books, a long time indeed. i was hoping to find this site where I could recommend some books which i have to be posted on e-sword. I know they needed to be reformatted, by you to be downloadable for everyone else including me. The books I am referring to is one I had heard about when my wife Tina and myself first discovered the Holy And Sacred Name Of Our Heavenly Which is Yahweh. I found out that Franz Delitzsch not only believed that the name of Yahweh belonged in the New Testament, but he also wrote a book about this. Little did I know that it was probably the first Hebrew Translation of The New Testament which I found out when I found a copy of this. I would like to send you a copy of this to be posted on e-sword. Also I this year discovered Johann Jakob Griesbach's Greek New Testament and have a good copy of that as well. This was translated by Griesbach from the Vatican Manuscript No. 1209 which is certainly believed to be the oldest New Testament, dating to the 3rd century A. D. Also I have found this year the Greek Septuagint that Sir Lancelot Brenton used to translate his famous and ever so accurate Septuagint, the oldest Old Testament dating to the year 285 B. C.. These may not be for everyone but I am sure a lot of people including myself would love to have them conveniently on their e-sword program,

In The Name Of The Father Whose Name is Yahweh, And In The Name Of His Son Which Is Jesus, And In The Name Of The Holy Spirit. Amen

Yes, try Haydock's Catholic Commentary 

 

http://www.biblesupp...mentary-v02exe/

 

It has 1 and 2 Maccabees.

Josh:

When you stated that the Greek and Hebrew in the "Speaker's Bible" was too intense for you to create a module out of it, were you possibly referring to the "Speaker's Commentary"? I used to own an old, battered set of the Speaker's Bible, by Edward Hastings (James Hastings' father). It was quite similar to James Hastings' "Great Texts" except much more valuable in several ways. The articles were shorter, but over a much more comprehensive set of scriptures. I'd love to have that in e-sword!

 

God bless,

Paul,

 

I may have misspoke, interchanging one commentary name in place of the other. They are easy to confuse.

 

The Speaker's Commentary is the Hebrew and Greek intensive set edited by F. C. Cook and Henry Wace.

 

The Speaker's Bible was started by James Hastings and finished by his son Edward Hastings.

 

The latter by Hastings is an excellent resource, comparable in quality, depth, and length to the Preacher's Homiletical Commentary.

Lots of great stuff here already.  However Lenski's commentary comes highly recommended--but pretty sure that's not going to happen--without some prayer coverage!  This is what the Library of Congress says copyrights (and bear in mind that according to what I've seen, Lenski's commentary was published posthumously in the said year, 1964, though he died in 1936):
 

Any work by a U.S. national published or registered before
January 1, 1964, must have been renewed by an application
for registration in the 28th year following the original date
of publication or registration to continue its term of protection.
However, copyrights in works registered or published
between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977, have an
automatic renewal for a full 95-year term of protection.
Although the period of protection is automatically renewed,
a renewal application may be submitted anyway. If the work
in question is more than 27 years old and less than 95 years
old, a renewal registration consists of all the following:
• the title and author(s) of the original work
• the renewal claimant or claimants
• the date on which the second term of protection commenced,
and
• the renewal registration number, which is the letter R or
the letters RE followed by from one to six digits

NOW... something else that would be globally helpful for the entire e-Sword / Bible Support Network would be a way to tell us when flipping through resources whether and when we downloaded certain modules already (you have been keeping track of this with our account, right?  Or you could start soon, right?).  This will help us see if a module has been updated from the time we added it, and of course, also quickly tell us the likelihood that we are already running it on e-Sword.  

I run a very "loaded" version, and the e-Sword Library Manager was necessary to abbreviate and manage my tab-names, but I'm banking that a few others are doing the same and would like this feature.  Some of the expensive for-profit programs do something similar and "grey out" the purchase option for resources for which I already own a license, and thus I see this would be a help here, as well.
