Tools for Christian Bible Study in the Electronic Age

Recently, a friend send me an amazing quote from NT Wright's commentary on Paul.  It stated, that for a Christian to "sustain a worldview", it required a "participation in the kingdom of God", it is a necessity for the Christian to study and think theologically, and not just as "an intellectual luxury for long winter evenings" and that this is something that is not reserved for the intellectual in an ivory tower, but offered to the "slave as well as the shopkeeper".  The transformation of the mind encouraged in Rom 12 requires this kind of dedicated thinking and exploring.

I agree completely with this statement, yet today, it is difficult for many Christians to find the time, energy or motivation to engage in a deep study of scripture.  We are so easily satisfied today that we neglect to see the critical nature of this endeavor.

Part of the effort of this blog is to encourage a deeper Christian thought and ultimately living in the study and reflection of historic Christianity.  Books are essential because it is a way in which the church of the past and leaders and teachers in the present can communicate to us.  While I may not be able to have N T Wright in my study to ask questions, I can have the next best think, a commentary.  Accordance is one tool that I highly recommend for anyone wanting to engage in a more thoughtful Bible study life.  This is a powerful tool, it cannot replace dedication, but it can give users what they need to study the Bible.  I strongly recommend this powerful interface for anyone who wants to dig deeper into Bible study.

Furthermore, Accordance truly is unique in its speed, elegance, extensive collection, and price.
