Category Description for Bible/Commentaries
The Bible was written long ago, over the course of many centuries. The customs and languages and history it contains can be unfamiliar or even strange to the modern reader. Commentaries attempt to bridge this knowledge gap. Commentaries explain the meaning of the text of the Bible, and are typically organized by book, chapter, and verse.

Sites "pro" and "con" are appropriate for this category. Sites with information on textual criticism, various Greek and Hebrew texts, historical figures like Erasmus, Beza, Westcott, Hort, and others, are also appropriate provided that the website addresses the issue of English Bible versions in general and specifically the KJV. |
This category is for sites that deal with the study of the text of the Bible--whether in the original manuscripts, or the copies, or early translations. It is not for sites discussing the _meaning_ of the text: only for determining _what_ the text was. Obviously, an accurate and reliable text is of great interest to all who wish to translate it, or study its meaning: hence the primary place of this field in Biblical studies.This is sometimes called "Textual Criticism" or "Lower Criticism."
