Scripture Journals

It's been a little while since I posted, work has been coming in and with the state of the economy I can't pass that up. The schedule has been a little up in the air, but it's finally settled into something I can work with from now on.

That has allowed me over the past few days to create some Scripture journals based on Tregelles' Greek New Testament and post them as individual files to the Downloads page. I hope over the next couple of weeks to make two different versions of a combination of all of the books of the New Testament. One will be in Tregelles' order (which is not what most are used to today) and one in the order they are presented on the Downloads page.

The reason for the second version is that I have been studying Greek for some time through the Biblical Mastery Academy. Once you finish the Beginning Greek course you move to Milestone courses and progress through books in this order learning vocabulary, grammar, and to read God's work in Greek. I'll also zip these up to provide an easy way to download them all at once as individual files as well as the full GNT versions. Having that will allow students, such as myself, to simply move on to the next book in the reading order without jumping backwards and forwards. The Tregelles order allows others to study from Matthew to Revelation.

The files have a generous spacing between lines (almost 3 times the text height or a leading of 32 points) and a wide right hand margin. They are intended for use on devices so they don't have different left/right pages. Though, they could still be printed and comb bound or put into a folder both of which would leave the blank left page as extra space for notes etc.

These are free (that is, I'm not charging for them) and I pray they serve to help those learning Greek and to bless them with God's word.

If you do wish to help out a little, please consider donating a dollar or two via my Ko-Fi link up in the right hand corner of the page.

However, this is not required to download anything on the Downloads page, they are and will remain free. When I have things to sell, I will link them separately.

I'll get back to working on the apparatus now as well.
