Online / Digital Bible Study Resources and Tools

Blue Letter Bible This free resource offers a rich online reference library with tools like lexicons (for Hebrew and Greek word studies), maps, commentaries, and encyclopedias. It’s grounded in a conservative, historical Christian perspective—and it’s perfect for those moments when you want to dig a little deeper into scripture.

Bible Hub Another free site. It’s packed with commentaries, Greek and Hebrew study tools, concordances, and dictionaries. They even have an app if you prefer studying on the go.

Bible Study Tools This platform features parallel Bibles, commentaries, encyclopedias, and more. There is a paid version, but I’ve found the free content to be quite generous and useful.

Bible Gateway This has been my go-to site for years when I want to quickly look up a verse or print out a passage for further reflection. It’s simple to use, offers multiple Bible translations, and even includes audio versions—perfect for listening during morning walks or while cooking dinner.

Logos Bible Software  This one’s a powerhouse. I gave it a try but found the learning curve a bit steep for my schedule. However, many people love it, and I think it’s worth exploring if you have some time. They offer a free basic version, which is a good place to start.

Print Bible Study Tools and Resources

When I’m doing Bible Verse Mapping or In-Depth Studies, I tend to lean into print resources. For me, opening a book feels like settling into intentional time with the Lord—less digital noise, more focused space.

Here are some of my favorites:

Study Bibles – Of course, you only need to start with one, but here are two that I really like.

A Study Bible such as this one can be incredibly helpful in your personal Bible study. The commentaies offers good context and clarity.

Scofield Study Bible This one holds sentimental value—it’s often gifted to high school graduates as a way to encourage them in their faith journey. I still refer to mine frequently.

Bible Commentaries Once again, you only need one, but here are two that are excellent. 

This Commentary I’ve had for ages (I truly can’t remember not having it) and still reach for regularly.  

This Commentary was recommended by my Pastor when the binding started coming loose (after over 20 years) on my original one. I decided to use both, and they complement each other beautifully.

I treasure this printed Concordance. While many are available online, I rely on my printed version. It keeps me grounded and minimizes digital distractions, which helps me stay focused during Bible study.  I admit – it’s easy to look up this information online, but doing so often sends me down a rabbit hole of discovery for other things.  That’s why I like to use print resources.

Expository Dictionary For those curious about the original meanings of words in both the Old and New Testaments, this dictionary is a wonderful addition.
