Boulet Publishing Website Now Live

For about two months (mid-August to mid-October), I worked on the new bilingual Boulet Publishing website boulet.pub. It has now officially launched. It isn’t perfect. I’d like to someday work on the aesthetics of the site and find a way to translate some last remaining elements into French (this proved to be rather difficult with free tools only). But it works. Through Boulet Publishing, I hope to make available various resources for theological study, from language resources to modernized editions of historical works. My goal is to keep this books (print and digital) affordable. Consider donating to make this possible. Continue reading Boulet Publishing Website Now Live

I recently prepared a Python script to Continue reading Next Project: Modernizing a Historical Text by Guillaume Farel

Book in Progress: A Guided Greek Reader for 1-3 John

I am very excited about this project. This Greek Reader (written in French) is primarily for students who have finished a first year of New Testament Greek and who are eager to dive into the biblical text during the summer before their intermediate courses begin in the fall. That said, I believe that many other people at a range of Greek levels could also benefit. Here is a sneak preview of the first few verses of 1 John (final formatting decisions have not yet been made). Notice the three parts from top to bottom: The Greek text with some space Continue reading Book in Progress: A Guided Greek Reader for 1-3 John
