I've put together a graphical map of the geneology of the thrones of Israel and Judah during 1-2 Kings.

I also have my own little exposition on faith and works here.

My personal favorite Bible Study tool is gnomesword 2.4 for SUSE. Sword 1.5.11 and gnomesword 2.4.0 are new (September 2008) For openSuse 11.0 on x86_64: gnomesword-2.4.0-1.x86_64.suse110.rpm Sword RPM: sword-1.5.11-1.x86_64.suse110.rpm For openSuse 10.3 on x86_64: gnomesword-2.4.0-1.x86_64.suse103.rpm Sword RPM: sword-1.5.11-1.x86_64.suse103.rpm RPM's for openSuse 10.2 on i586 ared also built, but I have run out of available web space. I can email them to you anytime. Either way, you'll need modules: Modules from Crosswire found here You may want additional (Beta) Modules from here Karl Kleinpaste also has a nice module repository here ...if you want to recompile gnomesword, you'll need the devel packages, I'm out of web space. I'll gladly email them to you and offer assistance.

to build a SUSE 10.3 (or higher) rpm for sword/gnomesword, Make sure to install libicu, libicu-devel, curl, curl-devel (in std dist) and icu (from repo only) along with gnome devel stuff, and the latest mozilla-xulrunner181 and mozilla-xulrunner181-devel (from repo). It's fine to have mozilla-xulrunner190 installed, but you can't have mozilla-xulrunner190-devel installed or it will confuse the config program. Also install gtkhtml2 and gtkhtml2-devel. Fix the sword.spec and sword.spec.in files uncomment: Requires: icu >= 2.6 On an x86_64 architecture, change all instances of /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 for i586: ./usrinst.sh --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-utilities --with-curl --disable-debug --enable-shared --with-conf --with-icu for x86_64: ./usrinst.sh --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-utilities --with-curl --disable-debug --enable-shared --with-conf --with-icu ./configure rpmbuild -bb sword.spec Fix the gnomesword.spec and gnomesword.spec.in files Requires: gtkhtml2 >= 3.0 BuildRequires: gtkhtml2-devel >= 3.0 BuildRequires: gnome-spell2 ./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-exporter %{prefix}/share/doc/gnomesword-2.3.?/* then run: ./configure rpmbuild -bb gnomesword.spec

to build a SUSE 10.2 (or lower) rpm for gnomesword, Fix the gnomesword.spec and gnomesword.spec.in files Prefix: /opt/gnome Requires: gtkhtml2 >= 3.0 BuildRequires: gtkhtml2-devel >= 3.0 BuildRequires: gnome-spell2 ./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome --enable-exporter --enable-gtkhtml %files %defattr(-,root,root) %{prefix}/bin/gnomesword2 %{prefix}/share/gnome/help/* %{prefix}/share/gnomesword/* %{prefix}/share/locale/* %{prefix}/share/pixmaps/* %{prefix}/share/gnomesword/* %doc ABOUT-NLS AUTHORS COPYING COPYING-DOCS INSTALL NEWS README TODO %{prefix}/share/applications/%{name}.desktop %{prefix}/share/doc/gnomesword-2.3.?/* then run ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/gnome --enable-debug --enable-exporter --enable-gtkhtml find GNOME_CFLAGS near the end of the output.
