Full Texts

 


See Main Page for a guide to all contents of all sections.

Links to full texts of books available at this and other sites will be listed here. The texts are also integrated within the overall structure of the Sourcebook. This listing is to aid compilers of web guides to online books, etc.

The books that tend to have been put online here, or those that have been linked, tend to be those entire books that are often assigned to students in college classes to be read along with the more usual excerpted texts.

    • WEB Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Full texts.
    • WEB Bible GateWay
      An amazing site that has the Bible available in the original languages, and in many English translations, and in other languages. The site lets you look at any chapter or verse and compare texts between multiple examples. In this example you can see Genesis Chapter 1 in two English versions, Hebrew, and Latin. This is very handy if you are trying to see what different translators have though a word means.
    • WEB Bible Hub
      Similar to Bible Gateway, but with more emphasis on access to comments and dictionaries.
    • WEB Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft/German Bible Society: Septuagint
      A German website (with English Interface) giving access to various translations. Here it is set to go to the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the Bible) which is not available at Bible Gateway. The Septuagint is sometimes considered as not just a translation, but a different witness to the earliest texts of the Hebrew Bible.
      WEB The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls
      The Dead Sea Scrolls are by far the earliest Hebrew manuscripts with the text of the Bible (and other religious literature).
    • WEB Early Jewish Writings [Internet Archive back up here]
      Biblical and non-biblical texts, Josephus, Philo, Talmud.
    • WEB Sefaria
      Sefaria is home to 3,000 years of Jewish texts.A non-profit organization offering free access to texts, translations, and commentaries.
