It took over 20 y...ears to produce an exhaustive reference set, unlike any other. The result was a 39-volume library detailing the entire Bible, blending all study tools into one resource. CBL books have been out of print since 2001, but they're exclusively available by . Demand for CBL books has remained high. Rare volumes have recently sold on eBay for over $200 per book! Old and New Testament Study Bibles The Study Bible volumes contain an encyclopedic survey of the particular Old or New Testament book being treated. Each survey provides a general outline; discusses matters which may have several opinions; and, provides background information regarding the history, culture, literature, and philosophy of the era covered by the book. Following the overview is a unique Interlinear that contains the Hebrew or Greek text, the grammatical forms, the transliteration, the translation, and the word's assigned number that is useful for cross-reference study within all volumes of The Complete Biblical Library. Various sources for the Hebrew text are listed within the Study Bible volumes. The New Testament Study Bible employs a Textual Apparatus to compare the many different Greek texts and their variants. A verse-by-verse commentary that is useful for a basic understanding of every Old and New Testament verse is then included. Finally, nearly 30 various Bible translations are interspersed throughout the Old Testament text, and nearly 100 various Bible translations are interspersed throughout the New Testament text, in addition to the complete King James Version text, to show how different phrases have been translated over the years. Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries The Hebrew-English Dictionary and the Greek-English Dictionary volumes are fitting companions to the Study Bible volumes. The volumes are closely linked by a numerical system which identifies each Hebrew and Greek word. The number is placed above the word in the Interlinear and is repeated in the Dictionary which lists the words in alphabetical order. By this system a person may easily go from the Study Bible to an in-depth study in the Dictionary. Such an arrangement makes these dictionaries as usable for the layman as for the scholar. Features of the Hebrew-English Dictionary and the Greek-English Dictionary include: Hebrew Words of the Old Testament Greek Words of the New Testament Cognate/Synonym Research Septuagint Grammatical Forms Hebrew-English Concordance Greek-English Concordance Word Studies Resource Tools The Word Studies portion of the Dictionary is the real heart of the CBL Dictionary. Most lexicons offer word studies on "key" words. CBL gives you a word study on every Hebrew and Greek word. Hebrew Word Studies Every Hebrew word study follows the same format: Explanation of how the word was used in Hebrew through the period of the Old Testament's authorship - the discussion includes Hebrew poetry, historical accounts, inscriptions, related languages, etc. This provides a good basis for understanding the word's significance in the Old Testament. Cognates (related words coming from the same stem) - word studies will sometimes list cognates of other Semitic languages. Cognates in these related tongues often help clarify Hebrew words, especially those which occur infrequently. Number of times the word appears in the Old Testament - this number may not coincide with the number of occurrences in the Concordance, because there is sometimes disagreement as to the root form of the word. Furthermore, each word study also references Strong's numbers, plus gives you the volume and page number where this word can be accessed in The New Brown-Driver-Briggs-Gesenius Hebrew and English Lexicon, The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament, the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, and the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament Greek Word Studies Every Greek word study follows this 3 step outline: Classical Greek - CBL tells you how this word was used in classical Greek literature. If a Greek word was used only once or twice in the NT, it will shed new light on the word to see how, for instance, Homer used the same word in the Iliad. Septuagint - The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the OT. Understanding how ancient Hebrew scholars used rare words will give you deeper insight into the particular word or phrase you are studying. New Testament - Finally, each word study takes you on a tour of that word's usage throughout the different books of the NT. Furthermore, each word study also hot links you to Strong's numbers, plus references you to the volume and page number where this word can be accessed in Kittel, Colin Brown, Bauer, Liddell-Scott, and Moulton Milligan. AND THERE'S MORE! HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS - This Harmony is different from any other. Robert Shank (author) is noted for his accurate juxtaposing of the 4 Gospels, story by story, from the birth of Christ through his ascension. All 4 Gospels (in KJV) are laid side by side in parallel columns. What makes this Harmony unique is the 5th column, known as a Diatessaron. This interweaves all 4 Gospels into a single narrative, in modern English. Every verse of all 4 Gospels is accounted for, but no verse is repeated. GREEK GRAMMAR - You'll also find a handy Greek Grammar volume that can literally teach anyone New Testament Greek. It starts with the foundation of the English grammar you are already familiar with and builds on that basis. Users have have remarked that it's like getting 2 semesters of New Testament Greek! Such a combination of Biblical and theological material has not been produced in any previous work. The Complete Biblical Library is special because it employs a system which is usable by those who have little or no knowledge of Hebrew or Greek, yet will appeal to theologians at the highest level of scholarship. For all who use this work, it will open wider the door to the richness of the original text of the Old and New Testaments.
