Free Online Biblical Studies Repositories by slaveofone
Apart from developing my own personal library in hardcopy, the digital arena has allowed me to amass a considerable electronic corpus of books, articles, and manuscripts (only a few gigabytes) from professional biblical scholarship. A few of my favs include JSTOR (most colleges/universities provide free access even if you already graduated), BiblicalStudies.org.uk (someone loves F.F. Bruce), ETANA, the essential Theology Program (for conservatives), the Biblical Manuscripts Project, the Journal of Biblical Studies, the Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism, back issues of Biblical Archaeologist/Near Eastern Archeology, CCEL, Early Jewish and Early Christian Writings, and, of course, early scholastic books can be downloaded straight from Google Books (a lot of translations and other gems are public domain).
Two free caches I recently stumbled on are the Gordon College Bibical eSource web site (click on a scriptural text and it will take you to a page with countless dissertations, articles, books, and even multimedia presentations available in multiple formats) and a horde of articles by Scott Noegel, one of those rare scholars who combines Biblical and ancient Near Eastern scholarship so beautifully. Commence drooling.
