The Online Bible
Study & Biblical Heritage Database System is a service that is exclusively available for Biblical Heritage
Society Associates and those who regularly contribute to the Biblical
Heritage Center. It provides you with the
cutting edge tools for the study of your Bible and learning more about
your Biblical Heritage.
You are probably one of the millions of students of the Bible who
has been participating in Bible studies that exclusively use one or more
English translations of the
Bible, but not of the Greek or Hebrew biblical texts themselves.
Translations erect a huge barrier between you and the
ancient biblical texts by exposing you to the view of one translator or
translation group. In many cases you will discover that your
translator projected his or her beliefs back into the biblical texts
through their translation. The
Biblical Heritage Bible Study System is designed to teach
you how to discover the ancient author's meanings of his or her words,
regardless of whether or not they support or agree with anyone's beliefs
or doctrines.
No
formal study of Greek and Hebrew is necessary to be able to work with
the Greek and Hebrew languages.
The BHC Bible Study System
provides you with the information, and also teaches you how to acquire the linguistic tools, that you
need to discover the meanings of the ancient Greek and Hebrew words.
Even the most novice student of the Bible will be able to work with
the Greek and Hebrew words within just a very short time.
The BHC Bible Study System
is comprised of two components - BHC Bible Study
Packages & BHC Online Bible Study
Support System. Either component may be used separately,
but when used together they become a cutting edge tool for Bible
Study.

BHC Bible Study Packages
may be purchased online or by mail and each package includes the
following:
(1)
The BHC TRANSLITERATORS
No longer will you need to learn Greek or Hebrew before you will be able
to work with the words of the Bible. The BHC
TRANSLITERATORS will allow you to break the chains of
English translations and work with the actual Greek and Hebrew words of
the Biblical texts. By transliterating the Greek or Hebrew words
into their English equivalents you will be able to use many other
linguistic and cultural tools that will unlock the ancient meanings of the
Bible's words.
Using the BHC
TRANSLITERATORS is as easy as playing BINGO!
Believe it or not, just by using the BHC
TRANSLITERATORS regularly, you will become very familiar with
the Greek and Hebrew letters and alphabets. Before long you will
be able to lookup words in Greek
and Hebrew lexicons and understand articles written by scholars which
contain references to Greek and Hebrew words. Your package will
include the appropriate TRANSLITERATOR
for the language of the text.
(2) Bible Study Bible Interlinear Text
Booklets
The second part of the BHC Bible Study
Package consists of BHC Bible Study Bible Interlinear Texts
that are published in booklet
format. Each booklet contains the
Greek or Hebrew portions of the biblical texts for each study.
Included in each booklet is a literal
English translation for each Greek or Hebrew word, and a lexical reference
keyed to a BHC recommended Greek or Hebrew lexicon. There are
also blank sheet pages in each booklet so that you may record your
comments and notes directly across from the texts.
(3)
Audio Discussions
The third part of the BHC Bible Study
Package consists of BHC Audio Discussions.
The discussions may be in audio tape format,
digital CD format, online digital format,
or at live discussions. Each
discussion is keyed to specific
BHC Bible Study Bible Interlinear Texts. The audio
discussions provide you with linguistic and cultural information related
to the Bible study. By using these three tools together, you will be
empowered as never before as you study your Bible.

Online
Bible Study
& Biblical Heritage Database System |
As you well know, books
and audio tapes are static - they cannot be changed after they are produced.
If
new information is discovered, or if the contents are found to be in error,
they cannot ever be changed. This is not the case when
it comes to BHC's Online Database System
or the BHC Online Bible Study Pages
- new
discoveries can be added immediately. Our Online
Database System
will be in a state of continual grow and change. A steady stream of new information
will be provided through the efforts of BHC staff members
and the users of the system. As the network of users grows so will
the amount of information flowing into the Online
Database System. (1)
BHC Online Bible Study Pages
BHC has created an Online
Bible Study section that is designed to correspond to the
pages of the BHC Bible Study Bible Interlinear Texts.
The information on each page is linked in a unique way that allows you to
access a wealth of information relevant to the words of the Bible that you
are studying. You will discover linguistic, historical,
geographical, chronological, and other types of information - just by
clicking your mouse. This feature of the BHC
Bible Study System will truly turn your Bible into a living
Bible that updates its information on a continual basis. (2)
BHC Online Databases
The heart of the Online Bible Study
section is the Online Database System.
It consists of a growing number of databases that are keyed to the Bible Study Bible
Interlinear Texts, Audio
Discussions, and Online Study
Pages. You will elevate
your Bible Studies to a new level of empowerment and understanding by
using the BHC Bible Study System. (3)
Email
Updates
You will be notified through email when changes are made to the BHC
Online Bible Study & Biblical Heritage Database System. You will also

corresponding BHC Bible Study Bible
Interlinear Texts Booklets and Audio Discussions may be
ordered.
