Buying these books can be expensive, but now many such resources can be accessed online. Making use of this technology can aid our understanding of the Bible, making us more effective servants of our Almighty God.
Online Bibles And Helps
If we want to check a Scripture in various translations, there are a number of Bible versions available through our Internet browsers, such as the Blue Letter Bible Website (www.blueletterbible.org), Bible.com (www.bible.com) and the Bible Gateway (www.biblegateway.com).
Free Downloadable Bible Software
Free Bible study software can be accessed at the e-Sword home page found at www.e-sword.net. The e-Sword project follows in the tradition of Johannes Gutenberg, who originally made the Scriptures widely available through the printing press. E-Sword offers you numerous dictionaries and commentaries, which you can download and access on your computer or phone.
