Steve, thanks for the heads up. This looks like a very nice site, and a kind of complement to the Feast project in that it is a nice place to record personal thoughts and comments, to be shared with a few select friends (rather than the more “universal” way in which the Feast wiki effectively forces one to share thoughts/comments).

It wasn’t obvious to me how highlights and notes are to be shared with friends. I’m guessing once you add a friend that all of your notes are viewable by any of your friends. If this is (or is not) the case, I think it’d be helpful to explain this somewhere explicitly (or, if it’s already explained somewhere, making that explanation a bit easier to find).

Thanks again.

I recently launched http://www.dearscriptures.com to provide a place where people can read, listen, highlight, underline, add notes and share with their friends and family.
I would love for you to review it and add it to your list if you feel it is helpful.

[From Gregorio, whose comment was eaten by the spam bot:]

My favorite software of the type, very similar to the Blue Letter Bible which I have also used, is e-Sword, http://www.e-sword.net/

It also links Stong’s numbers with Hebrew and Greek Lexicons. One can download different versions of the Bible in a number of languages, as well as various commentaries.

[...] readings of LDS scripture. One recent post there folks might find interesting is their list of online study references. They also had a post about Isaiah commentaries and study aids. But of course there are always [...]

My favorite is http://www.blueletterbible.org. It has the entire text of the Bible in all the major translations and the entire text in the original languages cross-linked to Strong’s online as well (it even links verses to relevant hymns). The commentary tends to be very conservative evangelical Protestant and isn’t that useful, but I found all of these other features in a good, searchable format to be very helpful when I was teaching Old and New Testament.

Robert,

Many thanks. It works very well. I checked out the links and they all work as they should. For instance, I did a search using the second link, for Isaiah and Texts (as compared to audio, etc.) and it yielded a great number of excellent references and commentaries, including those of Alexander, Delitzsch, and many others.

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=Isaiah%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts

Same link using tiny URL = http://tinyurl.com/5nj3hy

Try other possibilities, such as lexicons, Hebrew, Bible, and you will once again obtain hundreds of interesting titles. You can browse through them before downloading them, by using the “Flip Book” option.

Best,

Gregorio

Can someone check the links in #2 above (the http://www.archive.com links)—I’m in my office at BYU and the site is blocked here, so I’m not sure if the links work.
