 New International Version - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Christian Bible which is the most popular of the modern translations of the Bible made in the twentieth century.
It is considered by many Christians a good, modern supplement to more historic bible translations like the King James Version, or even as more accurate (since it draws from a wider range of source texts including the Dead Sea Scrolls).
Among these are The NIV Study Bible and its Wesleyan revision, The Reflecting God Study Bible, as well as The Life Application Study Bible.

In sum, this is a worthy addition to the prestigious series to which it belongs, The Anchor Bible.
The objective of the Anchor Bible commentary series is to make the Bible accessible to the modern reader by providing an exact translation, extended exposition and a reconstruction of the ancient setting.
Undoubtedly this commentary is hefty and due serious consideration by students of the Gospel but nonetheless, I suspect, that many readers will find Marcus guilty of over-interpretation and straining to find subtle echoes of the OT where there probably is none to be found.

 the digital word: Anchor Bible Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Those familiar with the Anchor Bible commentary series, which inspired Doubleday to undertake the ABD in print, know its exegetical viewpoint is somewhat liberal—at least in early volumes marked by historical critical interpretation.
The casual student of the Bible will likely be satisfied with the more-compact Bible dictionaries in their current Bible study program.
Those caveats aside, the Anchor Bible Dictionary is as thorough of a treatment of Biblical topics as you'll find today in one place—and, for the near future, is the most-encyclopedic treatment of the Bible available in English, in print or on CD-ROM.

 The Bible Owner's Toolkit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Bible is a book sacred to Jews, Christians, and Moslems, who all believe that in varying degrees and varying ways the Bible represents the revelation of a single God (a form of belief known as "monotheism").
The enduring controversy between the proponents of creationism and the scientific mainstream espousing evolution is one instance of this conflict.
Historical-critical methods reveal that much of the Bible is factually in error, contradictory in its assertions, and a patchwork of diverse legends, proverbs, traditions, and borrowed pre-existing (sometimes pagan) texts.

 Review of Mordecai Cogan, 1 Kings. A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
More than just fill a significant gap in that series' offerings on the Hebrew Bible, it finally completes a two-volume set on Kings; the first installment of which having been available to scholars since 1988 (by Cogan and Hayim Tadmor, AB 11).
More seriously, he often offers little more than a rationalization of the biblical account of the early monarchies, based on claims that statements in the texts "might" be ancient and accurate.
The decisions to ignore the importance of the recent debates in a series of such import and reputation as the Anchor Bible amounts to driving a wedge even further between two opposing camps, and I doubt whether Hebrew Bible studies in general is better off because of it.

 English Standard Version - Freepedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
According to its translators, the ESV stands in the Tyndale-King James tradition of Bible translations [examples of other translations that stand in this stream are the Revised Version (1885), the American Standard Version (1901), the Revised Standard Version (1952, 1971), and the New King James Version (1983)].
First and foremost, the ESV is an update of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of 1971 that aims to replace the interpretations in the RSV which Christian conservatives have viewed as being theologically liberal, improve the accuracy, and somewhat update the language.
In 1997, Christian psychologist and radio host Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family called together a meeting of individuals concerned with these issues, and from it came the "Colorado Springs Guidelines": a set of translation principles that specified when it was and was not appropriate to use gender–neutral language.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Most of the so-called "Bible study" today has a devotional goal, answering the question, "What does the Bible mean to me?" However, exegesis asks the question, "What did the Bible passage mean to them?" Before we can apply the Bible to our lives, we must first ascertain what it meant to the original hearers.
Therefore, since the Bible was written over two thousand years ago, in a different language than ours, in an agricultural world-view, it is very difficult to interpret the Bible correctly.

Anchor Bible #18A: Proverbs 1-9: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary
Encompassing the body of Pauline theology, Ephesians (volumes 34 and 34A of the acclaimed Anchor Bible series) has been called "the crown of St. Paul's writings," yet both its authorship and addressees are the subject of continuing dispute.
Through line-by-line examination of its vocabulary, its difficult style, its Qumran and Gnostic affinities, its parallels with and distinctions from the undisputed Pauline corpus, its use of the Old Testament, and its dialogue with orthodox and heretical Judaism, Markus Barth demonstrates that Paul was almost certainly the author.

 The Bible and Archaeology
Of course, while we’re speaking of archaeology, I think that this is one of the contributions of the Anchor Bible series; namely, a large number of the scholars who have translated the text have had at least some training and experience in excavating.
In addition to his important work on the Anchor Bible, Professor Freedman is also editor of the renowned journal, “The Biblical Archaeologist.” These prestigious qualifications have given Dr. Freedman important insights into the relevance of archaeology for Biblical studies.
Much of the Bible is narrative and therefore we would expect archaeological research to provide background information and illumination on especially customs and practices and I'd say the framework on which the Biblical story is told.

From a professor of Religion and the Bible at the University of California at Berkeley comes a comprehensive commentary on Leviticus, now available with a new translation that is sure to set the standard for years to come.
No doubt Bible scholars will find his work fascinating but even if you are not a scholar but simply a person like myself who wants to understand Leviticus better, Milgrom's commentary can shed new light on what is for many modern readers a very difficult book.

 Parableman: Commentary Reviews: Series
Still, this series has one of the highest rates of good exegesis to bad scholarship of all the academic commentaries, particularly the more recent volumes, and their encyclopedic value simply for reference is mostly unmatched.
This series tends to be better than most on including the history of interpretation, particularly but not exclusively with respect to rabbinic interpretations, and theology isn't always left to the side as with many academic series.
The series states that its purpose is to occupy a place between the extremes of not being able to find a meaning in the text and being too dogmatic on its interpretation.

 William Tyndale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1484 - October 6, 1536) was a 16th century priest and scholar who translated the Bible into the Early Modern English of his day.
Although numerous partial and complete English translations had been made from the 7th century onward, Tyndale's was the first to take advantage of the new medium of print, which allowed for its wide distribution.
He left there and went to London (about Oct., 1523), where he began to preach, and made many friends among the laity, but none among ecclesiastics.

Rather, I prefer to understand the Bible as normative Scripture that "no longer functions for the community of faith as a free-floating metaphor, but as the divine imperative and promise to a historically conditioned people of God whose legacy the Christian confesses to share." (p.
He utilizes, therefore, what he would label a "believing criticism," which is open to appropriating critical tools yet without compromising an orthodox appreciation of the Bible and that also has as its primary aim to ascertain the authorial intent of the text.
This commentary follows the usual format of the series: a new translation of a passage, followed in turn by introductory observations (often of a form critical sort), technical textual notes, and more synthetic comments.

 English Standard Version - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
First and foremost, the ESV is an update of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of 1971 that replaces the non-Christian interpretations in the RSV, improves the accuracy throughout with more literal renderings, and somewhat updates the language.
When necessary to translate difficult passages, the translators referred to the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible (as found in the second edition of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia), to the United Bible Societies' fourth edition of the Greek New Testament, and to the twenty-seventh edition of Nestle and Aland's Novum Testamentum Graece.
After this, permission was sought, and granted, from the National Council of Churches to use the 1971 revision of the RSV as the English textual basis for the ESV.

 Parableman: Review: Jerome Neyrey: 2 Peter, Jude (Anchor Bible)
It is light on exegesis and theology and almost wholly lacking on hermeneutical issues and applying the thought behind these letters in a different context with a different sociological framework.
Another serious problem of Neyrey's approach is the significance he finds in applying his reconstruction of ancient value systems, rhetorical patterns, and other background behind these letters.
I should also say that Douglas Moo's commentary in the NIV Application Commentary series does exactly the thing I was just talking about at the end, bridging contexts from the time of 2 Peter and Jude to our time.
