Bible commentaries take up space and they're expensive, regardless of whether you order the books or buy them digitally. It's also hard to find ones that emphasize the Jewish roots of our faith. UNTIL NOW! Here's how to use e-Sword to see what the best commentaries say on every book, chapter, and verse in the Bible. This tutorial isn't just going to just introduce you to the works of great Christian Hebraists such as Dr. John Gill and Franz Delitzsch. It's also going to show you how to use this powerful Bible software to access other historical sources like Josephus, the Church Fathers, the Jewish Encyclopedia, and everybody's visual favourite...MAPs.

Have you ever wished you could read the Bible in the original languages? If you're not fluent in Hebrew and Greek the next best thing is to compare different versions of Scripture. Here's how to use e-Sword to instantly see how a verse goes in all your favourite translations. In this tutorial you're not just going to learn how to compare popular Bibles like the King James, English Standard, New American Standard, New International, New Revised, and New Living Translation. You'll also learn where to find Hebrew and Greek Bibles including the Tanach (complete with original text, transliteration, interlinear translation, and Strong's numbers), the Septuagint (with English translation and Strong's numbers), and Hebrew translations of the New Testament by Delitzsch and Salkinson. And you'll meet our favourite Messianic Bibles which highlight the Jewishness of Jesus, the Hebrew roots of Christianity, and the original pronunciation and meanings of all those Hebrew names in the Old and New Testaments.

Most people would say the Mishnah is dry and boring and to be honest I agree. What keeps me going through its thousands of pages is how it's the backdrop to the story of Yeshua. These writings came from the same world as the New Testament, and while they're not Scripture you can definitely hear the voice of your beloved and see reflections of his beautiful face if you look and listen closely. Here's one example of many. This is a takeaway from my newest Mishnah Snapshots study. We also talked about these questions: ~Do you know what the Hebrew word "Pharisee" literally mean? ~Why do Jewish people say their mission is "Tikkun Olam" and where's that in Scripture? ~Are Yeshua's "greatest/least commandments" and "weighty matters of the Law" in Mishnah also? ~What did the sages do with the 'literal six days' and 'conflicting creation accounts' controversies? ~What can the Jewish institution of discipleship teach us about our relationship with the Master? ~How did the centuries-old leadership structure in Israel change around 30 A.D., and why? ~Did you hear about the old Essene named Menachem and his prophecy to boy Herod?
