The World Wide Study Bible and Project Wittenberg The World Wide Study Bible is an index to Biblical texts on the internet and to Christian materials on the internet directly related to Scripture verses. Project Wittenberg plans to put links to its texts into the WWSB as time permits. To take a look at the WWSB, point your World Wide Web Browser to: http://ccel.wheaton.edu/wwsb/ If you wish to help enter these texts, first contact Bob Smith at smithre@mail.ctsfw.edu to ask for a text. He can tell you what has already been done. The task is to prepare a file with references from Scripture verses to the document that you're working with. This is a little different because you're working backwards. Instead of thinking about the cool things people using our resource would like to see, you think of which Scripture verses would be explained, illustrated, expanded, etc. by coming from them to our material! In other words, you're footnoting a Bible verse, not our text. For example, Bob Smith set up pointers to the First Part of the _Small Catechism_ from the Ten Commandments, since the _SC_ is a small commentary on this text. Since the commandments are in both Exodus and Deuteronomy, he set up a pointer from the whole Exodus passage to SC I and from the individual verses quoted by SC I to the individual verses in Deuteronomy where the commandment is recorded. He also set references from Matthew 5, which Luther appears to have used to interpret the Ten Commandments. So, if you really want to, you can point from many passages to our text. Please remember, of course, the rule all emphasis is no emphasis. (and Bob's Correlary: All emphasis is way too much work!) Formatting the File of Pointers 1. All of the information for each reference has to be kept on one line. You may have to play tricks on your word processor to get it to do this. 2. Put a number sign (#) after each piece of info. 3. The info should be listed in this order: P. Wittenberg Text Name#Type of text#location URL#Author##Bible Book#chapter#First Verse, if any#Last Verse, if any [See what I mean about long lines!] 4. In the chapter and verse numbers, put a zero if it isn't necessary. 5. Examples of text types are: Scripture, Commentaries, Sermons, Sermon Outlines, Meditations, Studies, Hymns, Creeds, Confessions, Sermon Notes. Here are examples for hymns "A Mighty Fortress" and "To Shepherds": A Mighty Fortress#Hymns#gopher://crf.cuis.edu/00gopher_root%3a%5bcus.cts. library.info.docs.luther.hymns%5dfortress_l.tlh#Martin Luther, 1483- 1546##Psalm#46#0#0 To Shepherds as They Watched by Night#Hymns#gopher:// crf.cuis.edu/00gopher_root%3a%5bcus.cts.library.info.docs.luther.hymns%5d night.tlh#Martin Luther, 1483-1546##Luke#2#10#11 6.
