Online Resources
This page is a collection of Biblical, theological, and devotional sources available free online for people who desire a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Biblical Historical (also know as Lutheran) Christian. The goal is not to be encyclopedic, but to provide enough material that the uninitiated can come to a full knowledge of the God revealed to His creation in the Bible. If you have any suggestions for websites or full text books available online, please e-mail them to the Church Office tlc@trinitylutherannorfolk.org.
Bible:
Bible Gateway. A searchable collection of most every major English translation as well as translations in other languages. If you are looking for a translation that is close to the original language, use the New American Standard Bible. The English Standard Version is best if you are looking for a translation that stays true to the text, but is more readable and preserves the poetic.
