Update (9/14/11): I should have included an item that I have found useful with my iPad2. Until someone comes out with an app that enables one to type in Greek characters, you may find typegreek.com useful. For instructions on its use look here. The tool generates Unicode Greek font.
Update (9/16/11): I discovered, today, that iPad 2 is capable of typing in polytonic Greek. So, now I use it instead of typegreek.com. Woo hoo!
Take a look at the latest addition to the Tyndale Tech blog. FInd posted information about the new Tyndale Toolbar . It is a wonderful tool for doing research, especially biblical research. Download the toolbar here. The only toolbar that I have used, until now, is Google's. I have downloaded the Tyndale House toolbar and have been using it for a week or more. I recommend it. It is a great time saver.
David Instone-Brewer's latest Tyndale Tech letter addresses installation and use of Unicode fonts for biblical studies. Take a look at Tyndale Unicode Font Kit.
Recent correspondence from David Instone-Brewer, Senior Research Fellow in Rabbinics and the New Testament, Tyndale House, indicates the following.
"Tyndale Tech tries to keep you up to date with electronic resources for Biblical Studies.I've now moved it to a blog-style site where you can add your comments on the issues. All the old posts are there, and new ones will be posted there as well as appearing in email.This means you can add your wisdom on the various topics to share with other scholars.It also means you can hear about new posts using RSS as well as or instead of emails."
I am delighted with the news. Access to these helpful electronic biblical resources is now much easier. Find the tech materials here or here, integrated into the Tyndale House web pages.
