1. ESV.org – very nice. Includes Study Bible notes, maps, charts, and more. I’ve made a video here, which explains some features of esv.org and how to find them.
2. http://biblehub.com/ – comprehensive. Many many commentaries. Has devotions. Can be a bit hard to use (but I have three tips below) because they use lots of 3-letter acronyms. Includes a nice parallel comparison of verses from various translations.
3. Nave’s Topical Bible PDF – Bible dictionary with links.
4. Bibleref.com – basic and easy to use. Not cluttered. For each book of the Bible it list 3 to 8 key verses.
5. https://www.openbible.info/topics/service Good way to find verses in the Bible on a topic. The classic: “What does the Bible say about.” This is ‘crowd-sourced’ in that people vote verses as helpful or not helpful.
6. www.biblegateway.com – widely used Bible site. Includes audio Bible, devos, reading plans, and more.
7. www.youversion.com – (also bible.com) – another widely used Bible resource (similar to biblegateway.com). More app oriented. Probably more trendy than biblegateway.com.
8. Christian Classics Ethereal Library – vast resource of online (PDF) books.
9. http://www.biblestudytools.com/ – very comprehensive. The search feature does not work well. Use the hamburger menu (3 bars) to find commentaries, encyclopedias, and much much more.
- Dictionaries ~ Encyclopedias ~ Commentaries
- I like the Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, which seems more like an encyclopedia.
10. Through the Bible: Briefing the Bible (PDF), by J Vernon McGee (900 pgs).
11. Logos.com site – Has commentaries conveniently on the right-hand-side. For example, Matthew Henry’s Concise; Commentary Critical and Explanatory; Faithlife Study Bible; Summarized Bible.
