Thanks to Ian Boxall for letting us know about the new website for Scripture Bulletin. The news site includes full, free-for-all reproductions of articles. The latest issue is Vol. XL No. 1 (January 2010). I have updated the old link on the Journals page.

Thanks to Jenny Read-Heimerdinger for pointing that the page on General Bibliographical Helps had disappeared. In the revamp of the site, we accidentally duplicated the Ancient World Bibliography page. The General Bibliographical Helps page has now been restored.

As part of our effort to make the NTGateway site as useful to as many people as possible, we have started to add a number of our own introductory essays to the site. This means that those just starting with the New Testament can get a quick overview of the book they are interested in before proceeding to recommended introductory reading that is available online. The first three of these new introductory pages (on Matthew, Mark, and Galatians) are now up:

Introduction to Mark’s Gospel
Introduction to Matthew’s Gospel
Introduction to Galatians

I have also refreshed the links on the Introductory Materials pages for Mark and Matthew, and added an Introductory Materials page for Galatians.

Logos Bible Software today announced the release of the newest version of Logos Bible Software, Logos 4. Three years in development, Logos 4 is not simply an upgrade to the previous version of Logos, this is a complete re-imagining of what Bible study software ought to be. It is streamlined, powerful, and uncomplicated—it is the perfect tool for everyone from the seasoned scholar to the man or woman simply wanting to get more from his or her time in God’s word.

With far too many upgrades, features, and resources to cover in a single post, you can visit www.logos.com/4 to see what Logos 4 can do to take your study of the Bible to the next level.

I have added the video of a lecture given by E. P. Sanders at Villanova University, Is Paul’s Legacy Relevant Today? on the Apostle Paul: Audio and Video page.

The Paul Page by Mark Mattison has been on the web almost as long as the New Testament Gateway, set up as a site dedicated to the “New Perspective on Paul”. We are happy to announce that the Paul Page has now been updated and relaunched as part of the NT Gateway family of sites. Mark remains on board and he has invited others to get involved with the site too. With a new look, and a new CMS, The Paul Page is set to become stronger than ever. Like the NT Gateway, The Paul Page is hosted by Logos, and the site is already gaining from the partnership with Logos. I would like to thank Ryan Burns at Logos for his excellent work on this project, and add that I have enjoyed the discussions with both Mark Mattison and Ryan Burns on this project.

So please don’t waste any time and go and visit the new Paul Page now. It’s at the same URL, so you don’t need to adjust your bookmarks or your links. But you can now subscribe to the blog, and become a fan on Facebook. I’ll see you there.

All of the links on the NT Gateway Grammars page have now been refreshed.

This includes updated links to the following resources:

Herbert Weir Smyth’s Greek Grammar for Colleges (plus the addition of his introductory Grammar for Schools and Colleges)
Jeffrey A. Rydberg-Cox’s Overview of Greek Syntax

As well as the recent new additions:

Robert W. Funk’s Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek (second, corrected edition)
A.T. Robertson’s Grammar of the Greek New Testament in the Light of Historical Research (1919)

Christopher  Heard of Pepperdine University has  launched a new podcast on the Hebrew Bible, the Higgaion podcast. I have added it to the list of podcasts on the Bible here on the NT Gateway: Podcasts page.
