maklelan Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I don't know if there's already a thread like this somewhere, but I propose we share our favorite online resources with each other. I think it would be nice for everyone to have access to the resources that many of us probably use on a daily basis. I'll go ahead and start with some of my favorites. I'll start off with some primary text resources:I just found this one yesterday. It's the complete Patrologia Graecae online. Hundreds of texts from hundreds of early Church fathers in Greek:Patrologia GraecaeThen there is this website, which offers high resolution photographs of every page of the Aleppo Codex, the most authoritative Hebrew Bible text in the world, according to the Jewish Publication Society:Aleppo CodexThen there's Okus, which is software (that you can download for free) that lets you browse hundreds of Greek texts from Homer to the New Testament, and you can click on every word to have it fully parsed and translated:Okus DownloadAnd now getting into English resources, Mechon-Mamre provides side-by-side English and Hebrew of the Old Testament:Mechon-MamreFor a selection of various resources from the Septuagint to Egyptology to archaeology you can check out the links we have available on BYUs Students of the Ancient Near East website:SANE WebsiteHere are all the Journal of Discourses online:Journal of DiscoursesAll of the Times and Seasons up to 1846:Times and SeasonsThe next two sites provide English translations and information to early Jewish and Early Christian texts. They're very helpful:Early Christian WritingsEarly Jewish WritingsAnd finally the site I use every single day, Google Scholar. It's a search engine that links only to academic books and papers, usually provided by JSTOR, EBSCO, and other online academic resources:Google ScholarWhat are some of your favorites?
Doctor Steuss Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Saints Without HalosA nice little collection of LDS history.The Book of Abraham ProjectI've never used this for "Book of Abraham" stuff. It does however have an annotated history of Joseph Smith, a collection of sources of Joseph's public teachings, a collection of ancient texts, and my FAVORITE, a collection of journals, diaries, biographies, and autobiographies of people who knew Joseph and/or his contemporaries.Only MormonA search engine for those who like to search for "Young Women" without getting porn (it searches only LDS-related websites).Textual Trysts - The New TestamentA groovy little article/site (thank you Rhinomelon) that gives some basic info regarding the textual reliability of the NT. It also has a section with the % of variant free verses in each NT book.
LifeOnaPlate Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Journalofdiscourses.org is rife with typos and mistakes. I suggest the much more reliable source here:http://scripturesbeta.byu.edu/jod/jod-html.phpAnd for actual scans, here:http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/browse.p...alOfDiscourses3A few cool sites:Mormon Publications: 19th CenturyMargaret Barker stuff
Doctor Steuss Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I don't know how I forgot to add this one:"Uncle Dale's" site, namely the old newspapers section.
Warship Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Sacred texts has a lot of texts from around the world.http://www.sacred-texts.com/
maklelan Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 I don't know how I forgot to add this one:"Uncle Dale's" site, namely the old newspapers section.That is a good one. I was impressed with it. One of the better Mormon blogs is the Juvenile Instructor. cnn.com has linked to it in their articles before. One of the guys who runs it is a grad student that works with me at the Religious Studies Center at BYU:Juvenile Instructor
