Mark, I can't give you all the answers, so as someone else mentioned, a call to Freedom Scientific might be helpful.
As the director of Optasia Ministry, I can tell you that we have made some effort to help those who want to read Biblical Greek. First, if you are using a Pac Mate or some other Braille display, you will be able to read the Biblical Greek, by learning a few symbols. An alpha in Greek is the same as an A in English. A beta is the same as a B. But some Greek characters don't have an exact equivalent in English text. That's why there are a few extra symbols. If you are reasonably fluent at reading Graille, you may wish to explore this option. We can provide you with the Greek text in Braille reading format, or you can visit the site of the Bartimaeus Alliance for the Blind, which is where we got the material. Second, I have made some effort to adjust the Greek text into a form that will sound similar to the way we normally pronounce the Greek words. This means, for example, I have changed the Braile reading character for theta into "th". This may be helpful for reading, but if you use this in seminary studies you will need to understand the changes I have made to the text so that you can understand the text properly. Then, I want you to know that Optasia Ministry has a significant library of study resources that will help you in your studies. We have Introductions to the Old and New Testament. Theologies of the Old and New Testament The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament and the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (single volume) which will enable you to do individual word studies. We have a variety of Bible translations. We have some very important commentaries available, such as the New International Commentary on the New Testament (adding that right now), Many volumes of the Word Biblical Commentary series, and most of the NIV Application Commentary, among others. In addition you will find books on leadership, apologetics, homiletics, prayer and spirituality, pastoral care and a number of devotional books. We offer this material free of charge. If you would like to receive the library: Send me your name and mailing address A simple statement that you are blind or have a visual disability And your preference for receiving the material on a single DVD or a set of three CD's. If you have more questions, or to request the library, please contact me at [email protected] Blessings, Tom Vos, director ____________________________________________________________ Click to learn about options trading and get the latest information. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/BLSrjpTIzQbJBffX47BX9GpIZgPRJgrIkv9bRanDB9qIWPq9ZywrbNCMcyU/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
