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
 
HA - What a joke. At the end of 2024 I still have not done it. duh!
 
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?
