I am in the process of gathering a collection of on-line sites for the study of the Bible. I am not intending this to be a resource for other scholars. Rather, it is intended to help undergraduate student who are just starting out in their academic study of the Scriptures. I am publishing it on the Blue Cord resource page. Right now the list is pretty sparse.

As we all know, there some excellent resources on the web for the study of the Bible. There is also a lot of junk out there. What I am looking for are links that will direct students to information that is both reliable and accessible for them at this level of study. I am not looking for sites that provide searchable Bible texts. Instead, what I want are secondary materials that supplement and expand the students’ knowledge of the Bible and its historical and social background.

For those of you who are scholars - particularly those who have been teaching for some time - I would appreciate receiving any links that you have used with your students. Of particular use would be those that you have found your students returning to again and again. I have been looking over my bookmarks, as well as some web pages where scholars have collected links. Right now I am focusing on the Old Testament, because (like many of you) I teach the Old Testament in the fall and the New Testament in the spring. But feel free to submit any links from either testament.

Thank you for your help. I am making this list available on the Blue Cord main site, so feel free to send your students here once this list is long enough to be useful.
