Bible Study Resources

ImageDRAMA Ministry seeks to equip its members in Bible study skills. To that end we maintain the following list of free, online resources for their use (in no particular order).

  • http://www.blueletterbible.org/ – This site has a fairly comprehensive list of study tools including encyclopedias and dictionaries as well as searchable Bibles. <- Tim and Samuel recommends.
  • http://www.biblegateway.com/ – a searchable bible with many translations and some additional resources.
  • http://net.bible.org/bible.php – a heavily foot-noted study bible with links to scholarly articles, historical and archaeological information. <- Tim recommends.
  • http://www.e-sword.net/ – the best free Bible software. Tim recommends downloading at least the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia and Nave’s Topical add-ons (both also free) with the main program itself.
