BiblicalStudies.org.uk: Outstanding Resources for New and Old Testament studies. Especially helpful for bibliographies. Contains numerous journal articles and book extracts online. Highly recommended.

Hebrews: Studying the Book Chapter by Chapter:
The above link is a series of lectures by Dr. George Guthrie who is well researched in Hebrews and easy to listen to. A valuable resource for those studying Hebrews. Be patient with the first lecture as he begins with an intoduction about himself and then gives instructions for the students present concerning their readings etc So about half way through the first lecture he gets stuck into the backgreound of authorship and recipients and gives a very good case for his views.

Historical Backgrounds to the Gospels and Life of Jesus: Outstanding background material from Prof. Darrell Bock, one of the leading scholars on the gospels and life of Jesus.

NET Bible Maps: Very useful resource featuring a good range of maps from detailed satellite images of the Negev to simple annotated maps of Paul's missionary journeys.

Bible History: This is a large site with plenty of material that will benefit the student of Bible history and geography. Those taking part in our yearly study trip to Israel will especially find this site useful (see, for example, some details on 1st c. Jerusalem's history, geography and topography).

Jewish encyclopedia: This website contains the complete contents of the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which was originally published between 1901-1906. The Jewish Encyclopedia, which recently became part of the public domain, contains over 15,000 articles and illustrations.

Historical Information after the birth of Christ: Information about the development of the Church from the first century until today. This includes writings of the early Church fathers, Fox's Book of Martyrs and Sketches of Church History.

The Digital Dead Sea Srolls:
The Israel Museum welcomes you to the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project, allowing users to examine and explore these most ancient manuscripts from Second Temple times at a level of detail never before possible. Developed in partnership with Google, the new website gives users access to searchable, fast-loading, high-resolution images of the scrolls, as well as short explanatory videos and background information on the texts and their history. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence, offer critical insight into Jewish society in the Land of Israel during the Second Temple Period, the time of the birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. Five complete scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitized for the project at this stage and are now accessible online.
