Most theology journals with real standing sit behind a paywall. HTS Teologiese Studies / Theological Studies does not, and it is not a minor exception: it is indexed in Scopus and in the DOAJ, published by AOSIS in South Africa, and it has been running since 1943. Every article is free to read, released under…
The ficha on Perseus in this section ends with a warning: there is no Hebrew there, and none is planned. Sefaria is the answer to that sentence. It is what Perseus is for Greek, built for the Hebrew library instead. Sefaria is a nonprofit founded in 2011 by Joshua Foer and Brett Lockspeiser, building what…
Biblical Hebrew has a reputation for being the harder of the two languages, and the reputation is deserved for one specific reason: the verb. Greek verbs are numerous but behave predictably — Hebrew verbs are few but mutate, and the student who cannot see the root under the mutation stays stuck for years. Animated Hebrew…
Everything else in this section teaches you the language. Perseus is what you use once you have it. The distinction matters, because arriving here too early is discouraging and arriving here too late means years of reading with one hand tied. Perseus is a non-profit digital library housed in the Department of Classical Studies at…
If you have ever opened a first-year Greek grammar in English, there is a good chance it was Basics of Biblical Greek. Bill Mounce wrote the textbook that much of the English-speaking seminary world has used for three decades, and he keeps a substantial part of his material open to anyone. What is genuinely free…
There is a sentence on the front page of this project that deserves quoting for how unusual it is in theological education: free, no signups, no trials, no tiers. Asked whether the videos will eventually move behind a subscription, the site answers plainly that they never will. Alpha with Angela, published as Free Greek. Forever….
Most people who abandon Biblical Greek do not abandon it in the first week. They abandon it in the second year, after the course ends and nothing replaces the discipline the classroom used to impose. The grammar was learned; the habit never was. Daily Dose of Greek exists to solve that specific problem. Founded by…
Ask a working pastor why he does not read biblical scholarship and the honest answer is rarely disinterest. It is that the entry cost is too high. Journal prose assumes a decade of prior reading, and the reader who lacks it gives up on page two. Bible Odyssey was built to close exactly that gap….
Serious Bible software costs money — often a great deal of it. That reality quietly determines who can work with the original languages and who cannot, and it falls hardest on students and pastors outside wealthy countries. STEP Bible was built against that reality. It comes from Tyndale House, Cambridge, a research institute devoted to…
Academic theology has an access problem, and it is not intellectual. A single article in a major journal can cost forty dollars. An annual subscription costs more than many pastors earn in a week. The scholarship exists; the paywall decides who reads it. Themelios answers that problem directly. It is a peer-reviewed international journal, and…
