John (Complete Biblical Library | CBL)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Complete Biblical Library was a remarkably ambitious undertaking involving over 500 Bible scholars and researchers. It took over 20 years to produce an exhaustive reference set, unlike any other. The result was a 39-volume library detailing the entire Bible, blending all study tools into one resource.
The CBL's unique interface of fresh, precision study tools makes it ideal for the Bible scholar and the serious student. The Old and New Testament collection set contains an Old and New Testament Study Bible, a Hebrew-English Dictionary, a Greek-English Dictionary, a Various Versions volume, a Harmony of the Gospels, and a Greek Grammar.
Such a combination of biblical and theological material has not been produced in any previous work. The Complete Biblical Library is special because it employs a system which is usable by those who have little or no knowledge of Hebrew or Greek, yet will appeal to theologians at the highest level of scholarship. For all who use this work, it will open wider the door to the richness of the original text of the Old and New Testaments.
Top Highlights
“Jesus encouraged them to have more eagerness for the spiritual harvest than men do for the natural harvest” (Page 103)
“Barley loaves were not as tasty as wheat bread and were less expensive. Barley bread was the bread of the poor. The 5,000 men would be content to eat as poor people that day. The ‘loaves’ were not as our loaves, but rather like flat pancakes.” (Page 149)
“one of several instances where Elisha may be considered a type of Christ.” (Page 149)
“Capernaum (‘village of Nahum’) was a beautiful and flourishing area in the time of Jesus. The climate was thought ideal for Palestine. The site was situated near the Sea of Galilee which by elevation was nearly 600 feet below sea level. This provided a semi-tropical climate. The Lake of Galilee was fresh water with abundant fish. The size of the lake (6 to 7 miles wide by 12 to 13 miles long) provided fish and pleasure for multitudes. Capernaum occupied an ideal site.” (Page 159)
“The man who wins souls for Christ is at work on something with lasting consequences. His work is for” (Page 105)
