Online Tools of the Bible Interpreter: a Study Bible
The tools of a Bible interpreter are always available when you are online if you know what you are looking for (with Google around, you hardly even need to know where to look, though it does help to memorize some URLs).
For a Study Bible, I suggest remembering the address net.bible.org so that you don’t have to look it up. The NETBible is there, along with a few other translations.
There are many other options online. I like the book introductions from the NIV Study Bible, as well as the following additional web pages that do certain things well.
- http://bible.crosswalk.com/ includes more Bible versions than the NETBible site, including the NIV, and has links to other tools. However, the interface seems a bit more difficult to use than that of the NETBible.
-
http://zhubert.com/ has the strongest tools for working with New Testament Greek. Not everyone needs this, but if you’ve spent time learning Greek, here’s a good way to keep learning and using it after college.
-
http://bible.lifeway.com/crossmain.asp has the Holman Christian Standard Bible, which is accurate but also easy to read. It’s good to be familiar with this site because of its links to many other tools.
- http://www.biblegateway.com/ includes a number of languages, including Kiswahili.
