TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism

TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism has been resurrected, although the announcement makes the future of the journal sound rather tentative. Nevertheless, the fifteen volumes are open access:

Ancient Egyptian Texts online from Gallica

Gallica has made available online a number of ancient Egyptian texts. The website is in French and has links to digital images of many significant texts, e.g., the Book of the Dead (Livre des Morts).

Dig-it-al NEA

Near Eastern Archaeology has just released Dig-it-al NEA, an "online forum" that "features original essays, reviews, and other content to complement the print publication of the journal."

Hopefully it will decide to publish NEA open access online before long.

Free/Open Access Bible Software

Dr. David Instone-Brewer of Tyndale House (http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk/) comes up regularly with very useful information and resources for biblical studies. He has recently published a list of electronic software for biblical studies, much of which can either be accessed directly from the web or downloaded free. The list is too long to replicate here, so I'll simply give the url and let you browse:

http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk/index.php?page=tyndale-tech&add=http://tyndaletech.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-ways-to-study-bible.html

Some of the categories are parallel and interlinear Bibles, dictionaries, lexicons, concordances, structural analyses of texts, atlases, and, of course, the sorts of searching on Hebrew and Greek texts that one finds with commercial software such as BibleWorks. Instone-Brewer provides screen shots of the software, which is rather small; but just place the cursor over any and they enlarge. Tap/click the shot and you are taken to the website of the respective manufacturer.
