BIBLE STUDY RESOURCES
BIBLE VERSIONS (just recommendations)
OTHER READING MATERIAL
- E-Sword — E-Sword is the best free Bible study tool I’ve ever worked with. I use it for word searches and biblical version comparisons. I like it because I can download onto my laptop and work offline with it. It’s also a lot faster that online resources.
- Blue Letter Bible — A good online resource, can do all of what E-Sword does, just not as quickly but with more resources. I use Blue Letter Bible for word and phrase study, specifically Greek (it has a cool Greek verb parsing tool). It does have both Strong’s and Vines definitions, as well as others.
- Logos Bible App — TONS of free resources on there that I have collected over the years that you can use to integrate your reading with notes, etc, too.
- Help Me With Bible Study — An online resource for learning strategies for studying the Bible.
- Google — It’s just a good search engine when I know most of a phrase but can’t remember the book it is in.
