Talk:Anchor Bible Series

message: So what is the deal under draw backs, this Bible doesn't include the Gospel of Thomas?  Why should it?  It isn't considered a part of the Bible by any Protestant, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic, or Orthodox Churchs.  I think that this is a moot point and am going to clean up that part of the article if no one objects.

replies: text: Most Bible commentary series don't even cover books generally accepted as apocryphal.  Praise to this series for covering them.  Asking for books that no established church now regards as even apocryphal is a bit much. - Newport 18:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:I think that's the point - there are several other candidates (Word, NICOT, Hermeneia) so why pick just one? 81.134.14.236 05:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

message: My priest spoke very highly of this collection but mentioned he somehow lost the volume on Revelations.  I'm trying to replace that very one (1978 edition) as a gift for marrying me.  Does anyone know the publisher?  I'm having a difficulty finding out that information.
:It's now published by Random House.  Not sure if Revelations is still in print; if not, search for a 2nd hand copy on www.addall.com.  Best wishes on your wedding. RachelBrown 18:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but words like formidable, responsible, and authoritative clearly mark this sentence as POV:
:The formidable Anchor Bible Project continues to produce volumes that keep readers current on recent scholarship while grounding them in the timeless tradition of responsible, authoritative analysis.

message: When I did a Google search for specific phrases in the sections on the "Dictionary" and "Commentary," I found that those sections (or at least major parts of them) had exactly the same text as advertisements at randomhouse.com.  I would say that this is a very good reason to dispute the neutrality of this entry.

thread_title:  Exodus 

message: Looking over some of the books listed in the Anchor Bible Reference LIbrary, I noticed some of them actually are not part of the actual series.  For instance, Bruce Chilton's Rabbi Jesus and Rabbi Paul are not part of the series.  I have deleted those from the list.  However, there may be more that don't actually belong there.  I haven't found a complete list, but if anyone has an updated list, it may be worth checking them over.

message: It seems that the World Heritage Encyclopedia and the Wikipedia's article are the same. 
The http://self.gutenberg.org shows an article which can be dated before 2006, since it states that "A work in progress, as of 2006, the series has produced over 80 volumes, some of which are updates of earlier works. The series is 99% complete". The first WP oldid whose sections are closely similar to the current version is dated back to the same period. 
It's unclear if World Heritage Encyclopedia has copied Wikipedia or the vice versa.
The WHE doesn't provide a publishing date. However, their Web Page provide the following statements:
* at the top: "Compiled by World Heritage Encyclopedia™ licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0;
* at the bottom: "2018 © World Heritage Encyclopedia. All rights reserved."
If the WHE article was derived by Wikipedia, why do they apply copyright on CC BY-SA 3.0 articles? Has the World Heritage Encyclopedia become the new owner of Wikipedia? This question is more general than for this article. Can WP contents be copied by third parties applying their copyright, even continuing to use a CC BY-SA 3.0 license?Micheledisaveriosp (talk) 19:14, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
