Blue Letter Bible is a free Bible study library that keeps Scripture at the center and hangs lexicons, commentaries, and original-language tools off every verse.^1 Southern California Christians put the site live in March 1996 so anyone could study God's Word in depth at no charge, and named it for those blue verse links.^2
The web reader and the iOS and Android apps include more than thirty translations, audio Bibles, Hebrew and Greek lexicons, concordances, dictionaries, the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, and text and audio commentaries, with highlighting, notes, and parallel views.^4 The library also carries Sandy Adams' audio commentaries on every book of Scripture, Scofield Reference Bible notes, and The Bible Says verse-by-verse commentary.^6^8 Free courses remain at the Blue Letter Bible Institute on study.bible, including video classes offered with Lancaster Bible College.^3
BLB is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, user-supported through gifts.^1 It affirms the inspired, inerrant Scriptures, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Trinity, and the deity, virgin birth, atoning death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus.^11 Commentaries span evangelical traditions; the ministry does not necessarily affirm every idea in those resources.^12
