Oxford University Press has just launched Oxford Biblical Studies Online, a file that provides access to six different Oxford editions, including the Oxford Study Bible, the New Oxford Annotated Bible 3/e, the Jewish Study Bible, the Catholic Study Bible 2/e, the Access Study Bible with Apocrypha, and the Authorized King James Bible with Apocrypha. The e-product combines commentary and annotations from study Bibles along with reference materials and primary texts, including the Oxford Bible Commentary, the Oxford Companion to the Bible, the Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies, the Oxford History of the Biblical World, the Oxford Dictionary of the Bible, the Oxford Encyclopedia of Archeology in the Near East, the Encyclopedia of Dead Sea Scrolls, The Apocryphal Old Testament, The Apocryphal New Testament, and How to Read the Bible. Other features include 5,000 A-Z articles, maps and illustrations, interactive timelines, and a bibliography. The file is updated every six months.
