There have been large Bible Readings taking place at conferences for many years. The passage is read and discussion takes place on a "verse by verse" or "section by section" basis. The sections are normally opened by a person reading the passage and providing a layout of the passage of scripture under discussion. Contributions are given and questions are asked from the body of the hall with answers provided. The bible reading commentary splits the discussions into these verses or sections allowing the person with a computer to listen directly to what was said on a particular verse or section much like an audio commentary.

These were meant to have been released 2 years ago but I had two major issues with crashes on the computer. This meant that I lost over 400 hours of work. Each chapter or section takes between 8 and 10 hours to complete, so losing it twice was very disheartening. I still have to redo 1st and 2nd Thessalonians and 1st and 2nd Timothy. Titus and Philemon had not been completed when the crashes occurred.

The books that have been redone and completed are:

Galatians.

I will keep you up to date on the progress of the other books. While a lot of effort went into trying to ensure that the recordings were brought up there were occasions where people did not use or partially used the microphone. These were amplified as best as possible through sound software.
