What would be your Desert Island resources list?
I like this question. If it's paper resources, I can think of a few right away:
I was trying to think which commentary I would want, never found one individual publication that could be used for all purposes. But then again I would be on a deserted island, so I could just make up my own interpretations, and no one would ever disagree with me. [;)]
"As any translator will attest, a literal translation is no translation at all."
Essentials:
1) NA27 Int
2) Lexham LXX Int
3) ESV
4) A Journal & Pencils to record my thoughts/inspiration and learning
Life Sustaining:
5) Bread/Foodsource
6) Water
Optional:
7) A Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint, Revised Edition
8) THE LEXHAM ANALYTICAL LEXICON TO THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT.
Never Deprive Anyone of Hope.. It Might Be ALL They Have
1) BHS
2) Textus Receptus
3) HALOT
4) BDAG
5) Statenvertaling
6) Szent Biblia (Hungarian Károli Bible)
7) Leiden Peshitta (under development)
8) Ursinus' commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism
9) Calvin's Institution de la Religion Chrétienne
10) Stuttgarter Erklärungsbibel or an other commentary
Some of these resources are still on my wish list. When it comes to paper resources I would take the following three books with me:
1) The Holy Scriptures in the Original Languages (Trinitarian Bible Society)
2) Statenvertaling met kanttekeningen (Gereformeerde Bijbelstichting)
3) Biblia magyarázó jegyzetekkel (Hungarian translation of the Stuttgarter Erklärungsbibel)
and perhaps a book on building construction (as a dutchman I'd have to build two churches).
What would be your Desert Island resources list?

Otto,
You're such a show off...LOL...why include NICOT/NICNT? Did you just get those recently...;-)
Anyway, I forgot to include my 10 resources in my last post:
1. Laptop with solar batteries - so it will run through out the day without having to worry about charging them (hopefully it exists).
2. LBLA/NASB w/interlinear and Study Notes (it's a bilingual edition)
3. IVP Reference Collection (Hey, it's ONE collection).
4. UBS Handbooks
5. Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament
6. The College Press NIV Series (OT & NT)
7. June Hunt's Counseling Keys (I'll need some counseling if stranded in an island).
8. The Outline Bible
9. The Complete Word Study Dictionary: Old Testament
10. And BDAG
Alright, that's all!
Otto,

LOL!!!! Yes I did! I guess to include them sort of justifies the expense of getting them at this time!!!

I guess I would be tagged a fundamentalist if I said the 10 Commandments. [:)]

Most of them would be much easier to keep if we were alone on a desert island. Nobody to steal from or kill or commit adultery with (or against), nobody's stuff to covet, nobody to bear false witness against.

I'll bet those were some of Martin Luther's thoughts when he joined the monastery...

Would they really? Is the wrong in doing or in the desire? Would being isolated preclude desire?

I doubt it but most of us just include them in our Bible so we get 9 more slots to fill. I don't think that's gluttony [H]
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
If I were to be stranded on a desert island, I would want my Thompson Chain Reference Bibles (NASB, NIV, KJV, NKJV) and my Halley's Handbook. Then I would like to have my laptop with ALL of my Logos library. (Of course that laptop would have to have a self-renewing battery so that it would always be charged).
