The NET Bible notes are in fact a mine of useful short studies of
difficulties in the Bible, from contemporary conservative Christian
scholars, available freely online. Thoroughly to be recommended, but at
places one needs to be aware of their theological presuppositions. Also,
as I understand it, they follow the scholarly mainstream in their
interpretation of biblical languages, unlike some people who are very
vocal on this list in promoting their personal views as if they were fact.
