Gill Commentary

Hello,

Whether I will keep it or not, I have set a goal to try to read through Gill's NT Commentary this year. About 6 pages per day from his commentary should do it. I only have to use the actual books to more accurately divide it all up into about 355 (late start for the year) equal parts.

I want to read what I want to read as I go and not be limited to what I can read and study and doing thus I have decided to create my own Gill commentary so I can keep up with what I have read and to correct errors as I go. Is there a copyright wherein it would be illegal to make our own copy and/or to distribute it to others? Also, is anyone else interested in reading Gill's commentary this year? Maybe 2 or more people might be interested in dividing up the Old Testament and reading through it. If so, perhaps we can notice carefully as we read and correct errors in mis-spelling as we go. Is there anyone else interested in doing this error correcting and can we come up with some method wherein one person can co-ordinate the work that we all do and put it into one big corrected module maybe at the end of the year?

Usually when I suggest something (at my church anyway) :) I get the final job but I am hoping that due to being an old man that someone else will do it. :)

Maybe we can develop a place here or somewhere else so we can keep up with what each has read and corrected as we go and thereby avoid duplicate work.

MGB,
Regie
 
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (John 21:25)
 
Why not just use a bible reading plan that will point SS to a place in the bible and read the commentary instead of the bible? Hopefully what I said makes sense. :rolleyes:
 
@Brandon Staggs - I can see some virtue in this idea if you wanted to read through a commentary as a devotional endeavor.

Would it be hard to create an option in the Bible scheduler (in the Devo tab) so that you could create a plan from a specific book or commentary?

And I mean just like 1 resource, so it doesn't become unwieldy? The thread just made me think about this. It would be a feature I don't think ANY other Bible program I have has.
 
I don't know if I can help, I'm reading through Matthew Henry's six volume set. But if I read more of Gill's maybe I could take some notes. But I don't know if it's a good idea because if you get people to do notes and they disagree with Gill's take, what's to say that you will agree?
