(mir) Yes I do know Bible Study Fellowship. They have a rich history. It is an excellent study program. It goes into length and detail in scripture while layering concepts and developing them, making them real. A close friend of mine is one of the local teachers. She's been involved in Child Evangelism for years. She and I have partnered at day camp several summers. She is a strong witness for Christ. I have not been involved personally but have looked closely at their material and seen excellent fruit among those who are involved.
I have not used NET BIBLE but I think I will start. The commentary on Pro. 31 is super. As is so often used in Hebrew form, it brings the teaching through the personal to the spiritual and integrates the two. I have read commentaries that see this Proverb as a Wisdom Hymn, and it can very clearly be seen this way. The Wisdom teaching of the Psalms and Proverbs in a rich study. The Hebrew books of Affirmation are read in Synagogues regularly and they are filled with the Wisdom teachings. It came to its height during the "Intertestamental Period", during the 300 years before Jesus Birth.
I'm glad to find another Student of the Word. It is so exciting and life giving.
