I am not currently a full time minister, but do have a calling. Just waiting on the Lord.
I use NIV Thompson Chain Bible. I also use The Amplified Bible Quite a bit. I also have a 4 book series which is greek word study, mostly new testiment (obviously).
I have found most commentaries, or at least the one I have, which is about 20 volumes,lacking in what I want.
I read a verse and I want to open up that verse and specific words in that verse in an expositional way.
It frustrates me that I do not have all of the resources I have to open up the word the way I want.
I saw some software at the Bible bookstore which was based on Thompson's for pastors, but it cost $299. I hate to fork out that much money if it will not do what I want.
I am wondering if there are some books that will do what I want. I am looking for suggestions on books or if anyone knows of any software that will do this.
I want to know everything about everything that is available.
Just to tell you a little bit, I read gen 1:1-2 and wrote 2 pages in word about what the different words meant to me. This was based on what I was given, not on my books, which did not tell me as much as what I was given.
Any suggestions on references would be helpful.
Thanks.
Laura
