The Study Bible

Want a Bible study app that puts decades of trusted verse-by-verse teaching right alongside Scripture? The Study Bible — now fully redesigned and rebranded as The MacArthur Study Bible — from Grace to You gives you the complete Bible text in NASB, LSB, ESV, and KJV paired with John MacArthur's sermon archive, study guides, articles, and devotionals, all in one app.^1

In August 2026, Grace to You launched a complete rebuild of the app, fixing the serious issues that had plagued the older version and adding the popular Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) translation, fast search, cross-references, and an audio Bible (NASB, ESV, and KJV). Most significantly, the full MacArthur Study Bible notes — nearly 25,000 explanatory comments from the second edition, plus nearly 200 maps, charts, timelines, book introductions, and doctrinal outlines — are now available free with a Grace to You account, where they previously required a one-time purchase.^1 You can highlight passages, bookmark verses, write personal notes, and sync everything across devices.^2

For over half a century, Pastor John MacArthur devoted himself to helping people know and love God by understanding His Word. He went home to be with the Lord on July 14, 2025, at age 86, and the ministry continues under the leadership of his son Matt MacArthur as President.^3 Grace to You remains one of the most established Bible-teaching ministries in the world, headquartered in Valencia, California, carrying forward an archive of thousands of sermons and decades of expository teaching.^5

Why Christians Love It

"The new MacArthur study Bible app is here and it is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!"^6

"They finally got audio working... I've only used this a few years and audio never worked until now."^3
