The Integrated Training Course
Module D – Jesus and the Prophets
Some useful websites to accompany the New Testament part of the Module Notes.
Theology on the Internet
A good place to start using the Internet is with one of Oxford University’s online tutorials introducing the study of Theology on the Internet: The Internet Theologian
The Bible on the Internet
We recommend that you use three versions: here are links to these online Bibles:
1. A direct equivalence translation like the New Revised Standard Version or the New International Version
2. A dynamic equivalence translation like the Good News Bible or the Contemporary English Version
3. A paraphrase like the Message.
In addition, the Net Bible is an excellent resource. A new translation it includes copious notes explaining the thinking behind the translation and the various textual variants.
The New Testament on the Web
The best place to start is Mark Goodacre’s site from the University of Birmingham: The New Testament Gateway
The Text This Week is also an excellent portal site.
Jesus and the Quest for the Historical Jesus
My own website and the links page is a good place to start: Jesus for Today
From Jesus to Christ is highly recommended by Mark Goodacre. It is linked to an American TV series.
Into his own is a site that gives a perspective on to the world of Jesus’ day and has excellent quotations from primary sources.
Tom Wright’s own page, the Tom Wright Page, has a large number of essays, papers and a range of auidio and visual lectures
Jesus and the Quest is a good introduction to Tom Wright’s thinking.
Tom Wright and Marcus Borg both studied under George Caird and collaborated on a fascinating book that engages in debate about the historical Jesus. Portrait of Jesus is Marcus Borg’s web site exploring his views on the quest for the historical Jesus.
The Jesus Seminar takes a very different view of the history of Jesus. The Debate on the Jesus seminar contains a fascinating email debate by different scholars.
The Synoptic Gospels
To study the first three gospels it is helpful to set out the text in parallel columns. This is done to great effect at this Synoptic Gospels page
A more detailed study of a number of key passages in parallel columns can be found at The Synoptic Gospels Primer. The studies are well worth looking at.
