Bible Software and Annon

Filed under: Bible Software,Christian News,Politics,Religion,World News — David @ 01:28

Found a cool site made by “Ken Ristau”:http://anduril.ca/aboutme.html over at “anduril.ca”:http://www.anduril.ca tonight. Good blog with some especially interesting entries on recent politics, I really like the insights on “Kofi Annon’s opinion on how to maintain security in Iraq”:http://anduril.ca/blog/2004/11/kofi-letter-to-allawi.html, along with a great section with “Bible software reviews”:http://anduril.ca/christian/bible-software.html” that is actually how I found the site.

He’s also written some “good”:http://www.christianweek.org/stories/vol15/no18/ristau.html “articles”:http://www.faithtoday.ca/article_viewer.asp?Article_ID=122 on selecting Bible Software and how it can be an improvement to traditional study methods. For those who want something for free (more than free software like “e-Sword”:http://www.e-sword.net and “The SWORD Project”:http://www.crosswire.org/sword/), I suggest checking out the resources he’s linked at his “Bible Study Tools”:http://anduril.ca/christian/bible-tools.html page, it does a good job of finding good online resources without having to wade through even a relatively small Google search.

He also has another blog entry with more links than I have time to read with information about what’s really going on in Iraq, the UN’s Oil-for-Food program, and lots of other “good world news/political info”:http://anduril.ca/blog/2004/10/necessary-links.html. If you’re looking for good sites, I haven’t checked his links out but based on the rest of his site I would probably enjoy them at least.

One last mention…”his link to the Aleppo Codex Online”:http://anduril.ca/blog/2004/10/aleppo-codex-online.html sends you to an awesome site (even more so if you happen to read Hebrew) with an original Hebrew Bible text for you to take a look at and read about. I haven’t had time to get to this one yet either, but consider this link in my post here a bookmark for return…

Overall I’m impressed with his site and the resources he’s found and compiled for others. Sure, Google will get you to all of them eventually, but when a human does the looking and gives you some picks with some original info to boot, jump on it!
