Oxford University Press has a new resource for biblical studies that probably gives us a glimpse on what research tools will increasing look like in the future.  Oxford Biblical Studies Online puts an absolute wealth of material at your fingertips in just seconds.  According to their database they have 7,691 reference entries and book chapters, 1074 images and maps, calendars, lectionaries, Bible texts including Apocrypha, timelines, and weight and measurement tables–all browsable or searchable.

They are having a free trial running through May.  Here is how you can access it:

Hey Charles,
I’m looking for some decent online resources for eschatology (comparing different major views, timelines, etc.). Email me know if you have any favorites…thanks!
