What is Bible Woot? It's my attempt at culling the online marketplace to point to you reputable, clear, and free resources for helping you study and understand the Bible. Think of it as an annotated bibliography for online resources. The results will skew towards the academic rather than devotional, though the devotional pages are some of my personal favorites.  

Why "Woot"? Linguists disagree on the term's origin. The full range of woot's semantic field applies to this site.  Studying the Bible and letting it inform one's life should make one say "Yay!"; entering God's Kingdom can be described as "finding wonderous (spiritual) loot"; the train-whistle image is a nice way to contextualize Luke-Acts' Journey motif; and the message of the Bible's Apocalyptic Literature could be described as reminding us that "We Own the Other Team," (Rome or otherwise).
