Thank you for visiting my
personal website highlighting biblical studies and Bible translation. It is my prayer that you will find these studies, reviews, comments, and links
enlightening and encouraging. I have an unshakable belief in the
verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures and their inerrancy.
My commitment is to the exegesis of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and
Greek texts.
Kethiv & Qere' was my original choice for the title
of my web site. That is not a memorable title, except for those already
versed in the Hebrew Bible. Kethiv in Aramaic means "written"
and Qere' means "read." Scripture itself is the primary
"written." Obviously, that which is written must also be read. However,
the temporary web space I was using assigned a different and more
awkward URL that I am phasing out. So much for my original plans regarding the title. I have been persuaded by a large number of you that it is much easier to remember
my name and title. Thus the current domain name: DrBarrick.org. In order to disseminate as much exegetical information as possible, I have included downloadable Adobe
Acrobat Reader PDF files as well as links to recommended studies
elsewhere on the world wide web. Wherever I have linked to a downloadable paper by someone other than myself, it is because I endorse that particular paper as a good example of biblical exegesis.
If you are making a return trip to the web site and are just checking to see what I have added most recently, you can scan it page by page looking for the "New" button. Also, don't forget to check out What's New? on this page below the site map.
The overall layout of this web
site's pages is as follows:
Translation: Bible Translation Discussion, Downloads, and Links. Q&A: Ask Dr. Barrick (FAQs in biblical studies and theology). Book Talk: Valued Volumes (book reviews and links). Periodicals: Past Periodical Punch (recommended reading from The Theological Journal Library CD). My Blog: Personal Opinions and News Bulletins.

Links: Connecting to My Favorite Web Sites. Photos: Favorite Israel, American West, and Personal Pics. Sermons: Sermons and Adult Bible Fellowship Lessons (Document Files and Contact: For your suggestions, feedback, questions, and other communications--and a scribal note.
