General and Miscellaneous Resources
The New Testament Gateway
This amazing site was conceived by Dr Mark Goodacre of the Department of Theology, University of Birmingham, UK [now Associate Professor
of New Testament in the Religion Department at Duke University]. We are at a loss for words to explain just what it is, but if you try
it we know you will like it as much as we do.
Anglican Association of Biblical Scholars
An international association of biblical scholars who are affiliated with the churches of the Anglican Communion. It supports biblical
scholarship at all levels, fosters greater involvement of biblical scholars in the life of Anglican churches, and promotes the development
of resources for biblical studies in Anglican theological education.

The Bible Project
Artist Brian J. Turner Paints the Bible. 'Brian J. Turner has delighted visitors to his gallery in Exeter with critically acclaimed paintings
of biblical texts and everyday events. His major Cathedral Tour of Biblical Narrative Paintings, which visited eight cathedrals around

offering to audiences a treasure trove of paintings that challenge and inspire.'

Dr Michael Fraser's superb collection.
'Into His Own': A tool for
the historical study of Christian scriptures
'Since the works in the New Testament were composed in implicit and often explicit dialog with first century champions of Jewish tradition,
the bulk of the passages included here have been excerpted from works written by Jewish authors, especially those composed after the
Hebrew scriptures that can be found in any Christian "Old Testament." But there are also selections from non-Jewish sources that help
bring the writings of Christian authors into a clearer cultural perspective. The world in which Jesus lived & out of which Christianity
emerged was not simply Jewish, but rather a complex cultural cauldron in which the ideologies, social standards and politics of Jews
and non-Jews interacted, often with explosive results'.

A shareware programme, 'which helps you translate Latin into English. At the moment it does not do English into Latin. It has dictionary

only for computers running Windows.

Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance
for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance
for the history of the book.' This is the first release of the Codex Sinaiticus Project website. it will be substantially updated
in November 2008 and completed in July 2009.

with (1) Jesus' words in red; (2) with integrated notes and maps; (3) collected verses on Christian life and worship; (4) a Gospel harmony
in 40 parts; and (5) background notes on the New Testament'. Well done!
