Recommended Bible Resources
New, published 9 October 2026. What else is new
Sites, tools and channels I use alongside these studies. Test them the same way you test these notes, against Scripture (Acts 17:11).
-
Got Questions
Little snippets of well-structured expositional answers. Type a question the way you would ask it ("Who were the Nephilim?", "What is propitiation?") and you get a short, Scripture-referenced answer from a conservative evangelical, nondenominational ministry running since 2002. It is the quickest way to get oriented on a topic before going deeper, and each answer points to the passages that matter, which are the passages to read next.

Blue Letter Bible
Free online bible study tooling. Its interlinear lines up every word of the Hebrew and Greek with its Strong's number, lexicon entry and every other place it occurs, across dozens of English translations, with classic commentaries alongside. It is what lets a reader without the original languages do a word study. This site's own pop-ups show a verse and its word in place; Blue Letter Bible is where to follow a word all the way through.
-
Bible Facts
Excellent studies based in biblical and extra-biblical texts. Ken Johnson's ministry works from the ancient sources themselves: the church fathers, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other early documents, to show how the earliest believers read Scripture. It carries live-streamed teaching, prophecy charts and study files. Read it for the ancient witness on a question, and check what you find there against the primary text, as with any source.
-
Expedition Bible
Joel Kramer, an archaeologist with a master's in biblical archaeology who has excavated in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ai, takes you to the biblical sites on location and shows the evidence in the ground. His book Where God Came Down works through ten of them. Seeing the place makes the text concrete: the distances, the terrain and the layers of a dig show why a passage reads the way it does, and they show the Bible's history standing up to the spade.
-
eBible.org
Free Bibles in many languages and formats; also the source behind several translations this site's own tools query directly. Its texts are public domain or openly licensed, so they can be downloaded, printed, quoted at length and shared without permission. That includes the World English Bible this site's pop-ups show and the Greek Septuagint its tools search. It is the place to get Scripture for a language, a device or a project of your own.
Other statements of faith
Statements I read alongside writing my own. They differ most on the end times, which makes them useful to compare.
- Calvary Chapel Association: the Calvary Chapel movement's statement, which holds a pre-tribulation rapture and a millennial kingdom.
- Calvary Chapel Secret Harbour: a Calvary Chapel church in Western Australia; pre-tribulation rapture and a pre-millennial return.
- Desiring God, Affirmation of Faith: John Piper's ministry. A detailed Reformed Baptist statement.
- Aleph with Beth: the statement of the free Hebrew course this site recommends (Aleph with Beth). It describes Christ's return without naming a rapture or millennium.
