New Book: Complete Commentary on Romans by Robertson L. Whiteside (c01945

The following book the Commentary on Romans by R. L. Whiteside is
one I created years ago for the e-Sword Program and decided to convert
this to .docx for use in Logos. It is over 200 pages in Microsoft Word and
at least that in the original 1945 edition. I have been thinking of adding
the commentary on Romans by Moses Lard to this. Both authors were
involved in the American Restoration Movement and I believe that their
works really go good together. If anyone would be interested in this, I
would be happy to create this. Just let me know....

Romans - RL Whiteside - (c)1945.docx

Some plans I have are to convert some of the books at the site: restorationlibrary.org to
a Logos .docx format. There are over 200 PDF files.

Mark,

It would be nice to see more restoration material in Logos.

Philip,

I agree with you on that one for sure!

Here are a couple things we could do below:

(1) Visit the website at biblesupport.com It is a support site for
users of the e-Sword Bible Program which I used to use a lot.
Search for me on there. I am user 'djmarko53' Look for the
modules that I have created according to my user name/id.
Make a note or list of the modules you are interested in. If there
are any that you would like to see in Logos, let me know. If I have
the time I would be glad to convert some of them into a .docx format
for use with LOGOS. I have one module on there that is one of the
most popular, named 'ZERR COMBINED BIBLE COMMENTARY'
I have many others as well, so let me know
(2) Visit the restoation files site at 'restorationlibrary.org' They have around
200 plus PDF Files and commentaries all related to the restoration
movement. Some of them I have already to convert from PDF to a
LOGOS .docx format. If any interest you, let me know. However, these
will take much longer than the e-Sword modules to convert

Take care and have a great day in the Lord!!

Mark,

great to see your enthusiasm for Personal Books! To avoid duplication of efforts, you may want to check https://wiki.logos.com/User_Contributed_Personal_Books since (because the RM is not as present in the Logos catalog as would be desirable) we do have some RM books as PB sources already. User Calvin Habig has contributed many of those in the past.

I know we do have at least a large portion of E.M. Zerr's commentary as well (NT and some OT works, see this thread EDIT: which I just saw you started yourself some years ago /EDIT), although it seems he is missing from the wiki page I just linked. EDIT: I put the Zerr commentaries in with links to the respective posts that have the most current version /EDIT

NB.Mick,

Having for the last couple years of creating Modules for three
different popular Bible Software programs I am finally realizing how
much easier it is to create Books, Commentaries, via LOGOS. I still
have some of the most popular modules on e-Sword (biblesupport.com)

I have decided to "beef up" the R.L. Whiteside Commentary on Romans
What I am doing is adding the following two works to the Commentary and
trying to get it all work together as a single cohesive unit.

Here are the two works I am adding below:
(1)Complete Verse-by-Verse Commentary by Moses Lard
(2)52 Lessons and Adult Studies on Romans by R.C. Bell

So far I have only finished adding these works for Romans chapters
One and Two. Here is the link below for the updated book followed
by a screenshot showin the expansion of the first two chapters of Romans

Romans - RL Whiteside - (c)1945.docx
This updates the previous version and is revised as of 5/01/24 at 7:15am CST
It has complete Verse by Verse Commentary as is, but the addition of the rest
of the works by Moses Lard and/or R.C Bell will take a while (maybe next week?)
There are 52 adult lessons by R.C. Bell. I am working on Chapter 3 of Romans today....

Hope this gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
When finished adding Lard and R.C. Bell's works I am debating on adding
some stuff by E.M. Zerr. He has an interesting work of 24,000 questions solely
on the New Testament. Thought perhaps, that his questions on Romans would
be beneficial as well....

Here is a screenshot showing the Menu for Chapter Two
of Romans on the Left. The Commentary now has complete
commentary by Whiteside and Moses Lard, plus Adult Lessons
and Questions by R.C. Bell (Lard and Bell completed for Romans 1-2 only)
Will update more this next couple days.

Mark,

Thank you for the work you are doing in making these books available in digital format. I do have e-Sword and several restoration works in e-Sword including the Zerr commentaries. I will certainly check your Bible Support page. It has been a while since I visited restorationlibrary.org. I will make a point of doing so this week and will let you know if I find something I would like to see in Logos.

Thanks for your kind words Philip!

Gonna change one thing with the Whiteside Commentary
First of all, the Whiteside portion is "COMPLETE" for Romans
Chapters One thru Sixteen. Nothing to do there.

What I want to change is the file name for the .docx file. Until
I complete the Moses Lard and/or R.C. Bell portions I will add
a couple characters at the end to indicate what chapters are
complete. For instannce, I will finish Romans Three and Four
Next and will add the characters '_1_4 That way you will know
the works of Whiteside, Lard, and R.C. Bell are complete thru Romans
Chapter 4, and so on. If you see '_1-6' before the '.docx' suffix
you will know all three works are complete thru Chapter Six.

When this work is complete, I am thinking of doing the commentaries
of Guy N. Woods, H. Leo Boles, David Lipscomb, Hinds and a couple
others from the restonationlibrary.org website Essentially this will be
the same as the Gospel Advocate, but I will add other Restoration
Movement resources and they will be radically different from the
version that is available in the old Hardback version.

Have a great day!!

Philip,

Forgot to mention.
If you are on biblesupport.com you will probably
notice the module "ZERR COMBINED BIBLE COMMENTARY"
That is my creation and is (or was) a very popular module for e-Sword.
I just got "burned out" creating that one and just never got around to
finishing it after the creator of the "Tooltip Editor" got Cancer and passed away.

So, I thought, "Why not create something like that for LOGOS?"
At least that is an idea on the back of my mind anyway.
With that said, I am thinking of adding two other things to the Whiteside
Commentary on Romans as follows:
(1)Verse by Verse Commentary by E.M. Zerr
(2)Questions for each chapter of Romans by E.M. Zerr taken from his
publication "24,000 New Testament Questions"

Other ideas, also from Restoration Movement authors include:
(1)Bible Word Search Puzzle(s) for each chapter of Romans
(2)Maps and/or images relating to Verses and/or Key thoughts in each Chapter
(3)Gospel Charts and/or Sermons for each chapter in Romans.

These last three are something on the back burner for now.
Nothing concrete or set in stone so to speak....

Later....

Philip,

This is for you and all LOGOS users.

Here is the update for the Whtieside-Lard-Bell Commentary on Romans

Romans - RL Whiteside - (c)1945_1_5.docx

Here is what it includes so far:
(1)The "COMPLETE" Commentary on Romans by R.L. Whiteside
(2)The first five chapters of the Verse-by-Verse Commentary on Romans by Moses Lard
(3)The First FIFTEEN Adult Lessons on Romans covering Romans Chapters 1-5

ESTIMATED Pages when complete is over 600 pages of Verse-by-Verse Commentary.
Several other works on Romans are being considered for adding to this Work on Romans.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1296896#Comment_1296896

The R.L. Whiteside Verse-by-Verse Commentary on Romans is getting
closer to completion. Here is what I have so far:

(1) R. L. Whiteside Commentary on Romans is Complete for all Chapters

(2)Moses Lard's Verse-by-Verse Commentary on Romans is complete for
Romans chapters One thru Eight. This is from the volume I created before
Logos released their version. Mine is not base whatsoever on theirs.

(3) Bible Class Studies (52 Lessons) is complete for Romans Chapters 1-8
There are(or will be) 52 adult Bible Studies for the Book of Romans. These
class studies are authored by R.C. Bell

(4) Currently, the page Count for Version '1_8" is 456 pages. There should be
well over 600 pages (maybe 700) when complete

Also under consideration for addition to this Work on Romans, but not sure how and when:
1. E.M. Zerr Verse-by-Verse Commentary on Romans
2. Word Search Puzzle(s) for each chapter in Romans. These are completed and ready
to be added, but not until I am finished with the Commentary and Lessons
3. Complete full-text Commentary on Romans by David Lipscomb and/or others...
4. Apologetic, Historical, and/or Archeological notes pertaining to each Chapter in Romans
5. Questions for Romans taken from the book "24,000 New Testament Questions" by E.M. Zerr
6. Maps/Charts, etc. pertaining to Romans, Historical, and Theological issues

Other possibilities to add as follows:
1. Burton Coffman on Romans 1-16
2. College Press [Green Books] Texts on Romans

For now i will be concentrating on the Commentary by Lard and Studies by R.C. Bell. After
that, I will think about #1-6 above....

Have a great day! I am a retired preacher so I have time to put some work into this. Since I
have the ability to convert some PDF and/or EPUB files for use in WORD the possibility of creating
a LOGOS book is greatly enhanced. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Last but not least. This work is designed to be a compilation of various authors from the
American Restoration Movement.

Mark,

You are taking on a lot of work, even for a retired preacher. Someone may have already pointed this out. I'm only seeing your posts right now, but Logos has Coffman's commentaries from when they bought out Lifeway's Wordsearch (Search Results | Logos Bible Software). I received mine in a most generous gift for those who were one Wordsearch. I personally would love to see the College Press [Green Books] in Logos. I have them in PDF format but that is not as convenient. College Press published an Old Testament History book by William Smith, L.L.D which was revised and amended by Wilber Fields. That would be an excellent addition to Logos.

I will certainly be interested in whatever books or series you choose to convert to Logos format.

Again, many thanks for doing this.

-Philip

Philip,

My wife still works part time and I try to do my creating of books and things
for when wife is not here. That way always have time to do things for her when
she's home.

Concerning Coffman's, I have it in e-Sword and it would be super easy to create
a module in other Programs since it is also available on several good bible websites
such as studylight and bibleportal to name a few. The College Press has been
available sometime in the e-Sword as well as "The Word" formats.

When I get done with this book/commentary on Romans, will take a closer look at
the College Text (Green Book) commentaries. I have it in several formats in addition
to the PDF Version. At least they're in the Public Domain. They're also available on
the restorationlibrary.org website as well.

Romans - RL Whiteside - (c)1945_1_16.docx

Here is the Completed Whiteside and Moses Lard Commentary.

It includes also, 47 Adult Lessons for Romans One thru Fifteen
The only thing I haven't added is the last 5 Lessons covering Romans Sixteen.

Currently, there are 653 pages according to Microsoft Word.
Should be about 660 pages after I add the last five lessons for Romans 16.

Thee may be some typos in this. Plus, some errors might have been
missed. Far as I can tell it looks pretty good. Anyone wants to format
this book to suit them, go ahead. These 3 books on Romans have been
in the public domain for many years.

Anyway, these three works are now included as discussed above:
1. Robertson L. Whiteside - Complete Verse by Verse Commentary on Romans
2. Mose Lard - Complete Verse by Verse Commentary on Romans
3. R.C. Bell - 52 Adult Bible Study Lessons on the Book of Romans with Questions

I will add those last five lessons on Romans 16 later today.
Have fun and enjoy!

Seriously considering adding the College Press (Green Books) Commentary
for Romans to this Commentary. Instead of incorporating it with the Commentry
by Whiteside and Lard, I may insert the College Press comments/notes/questions
at the end of each Chapter on Romans. There will be Links to the CP comments
in the Table of Contents after the LESSONS for each Chapter.

Somewhere in the mix of things will add Word Search Puzzles covering each
chapter in Romans.
