Tom Caton Sr. Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) When I chose the book Joshua in timeline this information about modules LXX1 & LXX2 came up. It say’s both were required. I am not up on all bible modules and text so it’s speaking greek to me. I do not understand. There have been many instances with accordance where I would like to purchase a module or book but was unsure how it would be helpful to us in our studies. It would be helpful if I was better informed but unfortunately I am not. I do not understand greek and Hebrew unless their is a translation for me. Not sure what this is referring to. Would you help me to understand a way that I might be able to make a more informed decision. Thank you kindly Parallel LXX Text The following books (or portions of books) have more than one version in the LXX: 1. Joshua 2. Judges 3. Tobit 4. Daniel (including Suzanna and Bel). In order to easily display these books in parallel in Accordance, a separate text module named LXX2 is used. This module is treated as if it were a separate text, so that the equivalent texts in both the LXX1 and LXX2 module can be searched separately, but displayed in parallel (such as the two translations of the book of Daniel). Both texts can also be searched together in the Search All window, or in the Text Group feature, or by use of the [LINK xxx] command. Both text modules must be added to Accordance in order to have access to both modules. Edited September 1, 2023 by Tom Caton Sr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hi @Tom Caton Sr., I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but assuming that I do, the LXX is the main LXX text, while the LXX2 contains "alternate versions of the text." So they would be able to be treated as two different texts, since they truly are. Searching LXX1 in the store seems to show it can be bought separately, while LXX2 is only available in a bundle of LXX1 and LXX2 together. On a side note, the LXX is not tagged the same way as the Greek in the NT, so if you don't know Greek, I would personally look into one of the LXX translations instead. Accordance has a few LXX translations, and while none of them seem to be very literal, they can sometimes provide an interesting perspective. I hope this helps some.

Tom Caton Sr. Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Kristin, I appreciate your response. Yes, it did shed some light on the subject for me. I still am lost though on choosing modules and books that would benefit our studies. I am a pastor and disciple maker so, I love to go deep I am just cluless with greek and Hebrew language . I have many commentaries and references, study bibles and dictionary’s. Here is a shot of some of the tools I have.. I wonder if there is something else that might be helpful? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 If there's anything on our website you want to learn more about, I can whip up a screen recording of it or post some additional screenshot samples, What Accordance package do you currently own? If you own Triple Learner or Triple Discoverer, that's a good collection to start with. What all are you wanting to do in your Bible study? If I can gain a better insight about what you're wanting to do, I (and others) can give you some module recommendations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 If you don't know Greek, the LXX modules are not going to be helpful to you. I really don't know why a reference to it came up when workin in the timeline, unless something is set wrong in your timeline preferences or they have become corrupted. Given what you have said about your knowledge and interests, I'm not even sure an English translation of the LXX (like NETS) would be all that helpful to you, unless you were working in an OT book where there are significant differences between the Hebrew and LXX texts and you wanted to get a feel for that. Your screen shot only gives a list of the categories, not specific tools, so I can't comment there. "Best" modules/tools vary a lot both by use case and by theological perspective. As a general rule, these are some of the resources I would suggest to a pastor wanting to go deep but who does not know Greek or Hebrew. For reference, I am a pastor who does know (and use) Greek and Hebrew and I have been using Accordance for more than a decade. At least 2 Strongs or G/K tagged texts; if possible one of those should be the translation you use in worship/use most often Additional translations...ideally Strongs or G/K tagged The NET Bible (for it's extensive translation notes) At least one good Bible Dictionary. My preferences are the NIB one volume and the Anchor Bible Dictionary, but some traditions would find those too "liberal." There are a number of more conservative Bible Dictionaries available in Accordance, but I don't know much about them. Timeline and Atlas (It sounds like you have the Timeline already) If you teach and like to use visuals, the Photo Guides and other photo and art collections are helpful Comfort Text Commentary: this work looks at all the variant readings of the New Testament, notes which modern translations use which variants, etc. It is far more approachable than Metzger's Text Commentary, especially for those who do not know Greek. If you are fluent or reasonably fluent in additional modern languages, Accordance Bible modules in those languages, if available. (For example, I was a French major in college: I have a number of French Bibles in Accordance) The Jewish Annotated New Testament (2nd edition) offers an interesting perspective on the text, and sometimes corrects assumptions Christians have made about Jewish beliefs. I have the Jewish Study Bible for the same reason. New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology NIDNTT...the older version, not the newer NIDNTTE. I say that specifically because you don't know Greek. In this work, major Greek words are discussed, but it is designed for people who don't know Greek, and transliterates the Greek (uses latin letters to represent the Greek). the newer NIDNTTE uses the Greek alphabet. Which, as someone who does know Greek, i prefer. (Transliteration drives me nuts). But if you aren't familiar with Greek, NIDNTT (no E) would be a better entry point. I hate to disagree with Nathan, but if you don't know Greek and Hebrew, I would not recommend any of the Triple collections. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Lyons Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) @Tom Caton Sr. Maybe it's not convenient for you, but is there any possibility of you starting to learn Biblical Greek? There are plenty of resources available on Accordance for this purpose. I think a knowledge of the original languages would prove very useful to you in Bible studies.

Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 @Tom Caton Sr. Thank you for adding a screen shot to your first post. That clarified what you were seeing and why. For some reason, your Timeline settings are pulling from the "Accordance Module Info" module when you hover over/click on a timeline entry. I'll get to how to change that in a minute. What is happening currently, is that Accordance is search the "Accordance Module Info" (AMI) source for the name you choose: in this case Joshua. The first hit on Joshua in AMI is in the article on LXX1 and LXX2. It appear there because Joshua is one of the books that has two different versions in the Septuagint (or LXX). We tend to refer to the LXX as one translation, but in fact it's more complicated than that, at least in terms of some books. To change the resource Accordances uses when you hover over or click on an item in the timeline, go to Accordance>Settings>Timeline Display In the Hypertext section, set 'Default Tool' to the resource you want to use. Generally speaking, a solid Bible Dictionary is the best choice. Note: if you are using a pre-Ventura OS on your mac, you may not see "Settings" under the Accordance menu. In that case, it would be Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukfraser Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) As the initial post includes Joshua 2. Judges 3. Tobit 4. Daniel (including Suzanna and Bel). i would also consider beale's nt use of the ot the jps translation the jewish study bible and i would also have included the nets as a different translation as there is an argument that the nt writers were using the greek translation of the scriptures rather than the hebrew for the apocrypha (suzamnna and bell etc) this trio all work well as they have the parallel texts and are formatted to work together: nrsv oxford study bible oxford single volume commentary (and when we get it the jewish annotated apocrypha.)

I had meant that Comfort was easier. Nonetheless, my comments above about not needing it unless you want to get into textual criticism remain and had been directed about Comfort. If someone wants to do light textual criticism, I agree that it is for sure the right book, but I wouldn't personally think it is good to do textual criticism at all without Greek, hence not recommending it.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 True on the Greek/Hebrew stuff if you haven't learned (or aren't planning on learning) Greek or Hebrew. Honestly, I'd recommend even trying to dabble on learning a little Greek and Hebrew on Daily Dose of Greek and Hebrew if you can. It'll definitely open new doors for you. I like the recommended Bible dictionaries. I also like ISBE Revised, Evangelical Dictionary of Theology 3rd edition, and Dictionary of Biblical Theology. I like Butler's Analytical Bible Expositor for preachers. Ancient Christian is also interesting if you want to dabble in the Fathers. Tyndale is a populat commentary as well. Complete Biblical Library or the Word Study Dictionary OT/NT will let you dabble in biblical language word study even if you don't have formal training. I used them quite a bit before I learned the languages, and I still consult them. I like NIDOTTE/NIDNTTE as well. I love the visual stuff (Atlas, PhotoGuide, PhotoMuseum). I could spend way too much time clicking through these books. They're so rich! Enhanced Treasury is useful. I love the Jewish study Bibles and annotated NT. I use them quite a bit. I also use Thompson Chain Reference (we're trying to bring it back) all the time. Any of the preaching resources would be good for you, and I'd recommend a couple of theologies such as Ryrie Basic and Erickson Christian or Akin A Theology for the Church. The theological journals are great, even though they cut off at a certain date. We're working on gradually updating them, but I still heavily use what we already have. Comfort Textual Commentary is good. You'll find it useful for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 One commentary resource I've found particularly helpful is the Zondervan Bible Background Commentaries, both the OT and the NT set.

Tom Caton Sr. Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 On 9/1/2023 at 8:48 PM, Lorinda H. M. Hoover said: If you don't know Greek, the LXX modules are not going to be helpful to you. I really don't know why a reference to it came up when workin in the timeline, unless something is set wrong in your timeline preferences or they have become corrupted. Given what you have said about your knowledge and interests, I'm not even sure an English translation of the LXX (like NETS) would be all that helpful to you, unless you were working in an OT book where there are significant differences between the Hebrew and LXX texts and you wanted to get a feel for that. Your screen shot only gives a list of the categories, not specific tools, so I can't comment there. "Best" modules/tools vary a lot both by use case and by theological perspective. As a general rule, these are some of the resources I would suggest to a pastor wanting to go deep but who does not know Greek or Hebrew. For reference, I am a pastor who does know (and use) Greek and Hebrew and I have been using Accordance for more than a decade. At least 2 Strongs or G/K tagged texts; if possible one of those should be the translation you use in worship/use most often Additional translations...ideally Strongs or G/K tagged The NET Bible (for it's extensive translation notes) At least one good Bible Dictionary. My preferences are the NIB one volume and the Anchor Bible Dictionary, but some traditions would find those too "liberal." There are a number of more conservative Bible Dictionaries available in Accordance, but I don't know much about them. Timeline and Atlas (It sounds like you have the Timeline already) If you teach and like to use visuals, the Photo Guides and other photo and art collections are helpful Comfort Text Commentary: this work looks at all the variant readings of the New Testament, notes which modern translations use which variants, etc. It is far more approachable than Metzger's Text Commentary, especially for those who do not know Greek. If you are fluent or reasonably fluent in additional modern languages, Accordance Bible modules in those languages, if available. (For example, I was a French major in college: I have a number of French Bibles in Accordance) The Jewish Annotated New Testament (2nd edition) offers an interesting perspective on the text, and sometimes corrects assumptions Christians have made about Jewish beliefs. I have the Jewish Study Bible for the same reason. New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology NIDNTT...the older version, not the newer NIDNTTE. I say that specifically because you don't know Greek. In this work, major Greek words are discussed, but it is designed for people who don't know Greek, and transliterates the Greek (uses latin letters to represent the Greek). the newer NIDNTTE uses the Greek alphabet. Which, as someone who does know Greek, i prefer. (Transliteration drives me nuts). But if you aren't familiar with Greek, NIDNTT (no E) would be a better entry point. I hate to disagree with Nathan, but if you don't know Greek and Hebrew, I would not recommend any of the Triple collections. Mrs. Hoover Thank you for your response it is very helpful for me to consider. If you take a look at my post to Mr. Parker you will see what I currently have in my library.

There are plenty of resources available on Accordance for this purpose. I think a knowledge of the original languages would prove very useful to you in Bible studies. Mr Lyons I sincerely appreciate the encouragement . Pray for me as that is a mighty big learning curve at my age. Although I try hard to always be obedient to the Spirit should He direct me to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 You've got a great library so far! You have a great foundation to work with. I'd recommend attending some live webinars to help you get more out of Accordance, as well as watch the weekly sales. I'm going to try to start featuring more videos of some of the weekly sale items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very helpful for folks in my position Mr Parker. Many times I have looked at modules only to not purchase because I don’t know really how they would benefit me not being a scholar or authority on these things. I would like to find some individual books on certain bible chapters that are particularly dedicated to these bible chapters. I tend to teach and study a book at a time starting with Genesis. Many folks are interested in the ne testament as I am also. However learning the old testament helps to understand the new testament . You folks have really given me a lot to consider here and I surely do appreciate your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Keep an eye out for When these are on sale! I would certainly add the jewish study bible to supplement the jps tanakh you already have. This is an excellent study bible and a really good starting point when first looking at a passage in Genesis etc and is a great compliment to the esv study bible you already have. (I like the esv but know nothing about your hcsb.) https://www.accordancebible.com/product/jewish-study-bible-notes-2nd-edition-2014/ i would also add beales commentary nt use of the ot. this is really useful for looking to see what the nt writers were thinking about. https://www.accordancebible.com/product/commentary-on-the-new-testament-use-of-the-old-testament/ and for completeness i would add the jewish annotated nt as this adds a jewish insite to what the nt writers were thinking about. https://www.accordancebible.com/product/jewish-annotated-new-testament-2nd-edition-2017/ i still think i would consider adding nets to the translations you use as there is an argument that the nt writers were using a greek translation of the hebrew scriptures rather than the hebrew so it adds a level to what you are reading in genesis as its an english translation from the greek rather than from the hebrew which most translations use these days. https://www.accordancebible.com/product/new-english-translation-of-the-septuagint/ if you let us know what passge you are currently studying and what is your go to translation, im sure we could put a short translation from nets in this thread so you can see how the translation differs from your preferred translation. but as has already been said, you already have a good library so you can afford to wait for these to be on sale and only get these to supplement it. i will also add that i knew nothing about beale or nets until they were mentioned on this forum and im so pleased i found out about them as they have proved very useful.

Gordon Lyons Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, Tom Caton Sr. said: Mr Lyons I sincerely appreciate the encouragement . Pray for me as that is a mighty big learning curve at my age. Although I try hard to always be obedient to the Spirit should He direct me to do so. @Tom Caton Sr. I will be happy to pray for you daily. If, later, you decide to begin learning Hebrew or Greek, you would need to set aside sufficient time for your studies. Spending time learning Biblical languages can be a great asset in better understanding the meaning of the Biblical text. Nuances found in Greek and Hebrew cannot always be translated with the same precision into English. Having said this, you may feel that fulfilment of your existing commitments may be all that the Lord requires of you. I will continue to pray for you in this regard. By the way, age is not necessarily an obstacle here, so long as you have the fitness, time and ability to commit to some additional studying. I've known of people in their 80s who have successfully learned Hebrew and Greek for the first time! I'm not a Biblical languages scholar, but there are several people on the Accordance forums who are well-versed in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. They could point you in the right direction in regard to starting courses (primers) in Greek or Hebrew. I myself used Mounce's online lessons as part of my Greek studies, although I now have a wider range of Greek and Hebrew resources in my Accordance library. Dr. Parker (Nathan) would also be able to recommend specific Accordance modules for this purpose.

If you own Triple Learner or Triple Discoverer, that's a good collection to start with. What all are you wanting to do in your Bible study? If I can gain a better insight about what you're wanting to do, I (and others) can give you some module recommendations. Sorry for the slow response Mr. Parker. Thank you and Lyons for your response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
