"The Bible in Living Sound": dramatized audio-recordings in English, French, Japanese, Bamanan, Chinese, and one other

Would you like to have audio Bible recordings for children, particularly for those of elementary school age?   This may be a product that will interest you.  As you will notice on the link, these recordings are also available in several languages as well as in English:  for example, some of these languages are French, Bamani, Chinese, and Japanese.  I can't read what it is, but there is another language listed.  Here is the link to this product:
Try listening to a segment, and you will be able to determine whether it is what you want.

The recordings are available in various formats:  CD, Audio-DVD, and MP3.  There is a cost, but it seems reasonable, compared to other, similar products on the market.

It is possible to LISTEN to samples from various recordings.  I found them interesting to hear.  There are 450 stories, if one buys the entire set of recordings, but it is possible to buy the series by sections. Probably a great gift for a grandchild or for a son or daughter.   I think that maybe 8 to 15 years old would be the ideal audience, but, still, that could vary.


Free Online Theological Studies from Well-Known Bible Scholars

Today, I encountered something rather unusual.  I was seeking theological degree scholarships for someone, and encountered a link to free theological studies -- actually, I encountered two or three of them -- and I guess I thought that these would not be high academic ones, and, since, as we all know, the "bright boys are not always the good boys," that was not a problem.

This particular link, though, leads to somewhat well-known names [Wallace, Moo, Bock, and others] that you may have noticed in your prior readings, and, normally, accessing their courses would mean enrolling at a well-known seminary or college, and that is often prohibitive because of cost, or because it is far away, geographically.  So, the good news is: these courses are free.

So, if you are a person who is highly academically-oriented, and you want exposure to the well-known scholars, for a, b, or c reasons, then, here is an interesting link to evangelical studies with scholars that represent a variety of views. I think that people realized that it should not be necessary to be wealthy to access theological studies. You are free to agree or disagree with these scholars, so, if you are up for something like that, maybe this link will be one for you:
It may also be that you simply wish to listen to one or more of these scholars, and do not wish to take a course.  That is also an option, since it is not necessary to register for a course, although there are some benefits to doing so,  Anyway, that is my 'find' for the day!
