Christian Resources
Contained on this page are some resources I have collated, partly for myself as it makes it easier to access them but also in the hope that others may find them useful.

Audio Bibles
- Purchase solar-powered audio Bibles through Megavoice (their global site can be found here and they have an Australian website as well)
Statements and Confessions of Faith
The 2nd London Baptist Confession of Faith (2LBCF or 1689LBC)
This document was penned in 1677 by Reformed and Calvinistic Baptists in England; however, owing to religious freedom legal restrictions, the confessional document was not more formally, officially published until 1689, after the restrictions had been lifted. You can either view it below or here in a separate link.
An Alternative Reading
Brandon Crawford has written an interesting book, articulating a rendition of the 2LBCF (confession and catechism) for dispensational readers. Check it out here.
Hermeneutics
Resources on Christotelic Hermeneutics
What is the Christotelic Hermeneutic and Why Should You Care?
Systematic Theology
Eschatology and Covenantalism
- Progressive Dispensationalism: a fantastic book I would recommend to anyone wanting to look further into the theological bridge-building process between classical and revised forms of Dispensationalism with Covenant Theology.
Historical Theology
- G. Allison’s “Historical Theology”:
Allegories
Narnia
Okay, one must note that C. S. Lewis of all people would probably be the first person to say that he should not be idolised or unhealthily revered. It’s not the Bible, but although they were already regarded as classics with typological value, Michael Ward’s Planet Narnia provides some fascinating insights, hypothesising that there is certainly something to be said for what was clearly a very intricate mind that put “The Chronicles of Narnia” together, standing the test of time even in spite of opposition from its critics. You should definitely check it out. The podcast episode “Lewis’ Narnia” from Undeceptions With John Dickson provides a good overview of some of the concepts.
Resources for Blind and Vision (visually) Impaired Audiences
Social and Health Aid to Developing Countries and Those in Need
- Christian Blind Mission is the primary organisation known to be involved with this sort of work. Among other websites, here are their global, Australian and United States ones.
Book Libraries
- Optasia Ministry’s Optasia Library
- Grant Metcalf’s Bartimaeus Alliance of the Blind
- Tim Snyder’s BrailleAudio, an affiliate of Spoken Word Ministries
Biblical Language Resources
- Again, Grant Metcalf’s Bartimaeus Alliance of the Blind
- Prof. Sarah ‘Blake’ Larose has some good resources on accessible Biblical language access and transcription. She has a Ph.D. in Biblical Hebrew. There is another individual from the U.S., namely Dr. Ray McAllister, who also used to have some resources available on a website; but I can’t find it any more.
