Book Reviewed: Jubilee Bible - From the Scriptures of the Reformation by Russell M Stendal

A good computer resource for Biblical study

This is good resource to study Bible that has both Old and New Testaments. It is easy to navigate within the book using the standard Kindle book tools, and search for words, and phrases. You can also go directly to a specific verse within each book of the Bible. This text is a translation from Spanish into English by the author after a comparative study with the King James Version of Bible. The two translations looks similar. The search features make this eBook an outstanding Bible to study on computer.

For those who are interested in Biblical studies, there are numerous resources available online (internet). A simple Google search should give you web addresses of plenty of resources that includes translations, interpretations, commentaries, historical significance and many other relevant information.

A hymn of interest from Old Testament is the Book of Exodus 3:14. And God answered unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel: I AM (YHWH) has sent me unto you. In this verse, Yahweh, the god of the Israelites, whose name was revealed to Moses as four Hebrew consonants (YHWH) is called the Tetragrammaton. After the Babylonian Exile (6th century B.C.E), Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh and replaced with Elohim, meaning God. For the regular synagogue usage the Hebrew word Adonai (“My Lord”) became common.
