You want to go deeper in the Word — not just read it, but truly study it. Bible Study Tools puts one of the largest free libraries of study resources right in your pocket, so you can dig into commentaries, concordances, dictionaries, and encyclopedias alongside the Scripture you're reading.^1
Built on the extensive BibleStudyTools.com platform, the app gives you access to over 30 Bible translations — including the NIV, KJV, ESV, NLT, and The Message — plus trusted commentaries from Matthew Henry, John Gill, John Wesley, and others. You can highlight verses, take notes, and sync everything with your BibleStudyTools.com account. What sets this app apart from a simple Bible reader is the depth of its reference library: Strong's Concordance, Nave's Topical Concordance, Baker's Evangelical Dictionary, Hebrew and Greek lexicons, and even historical works like Fox's Book of Martyrs and the writings of Josephus — all free.^2
Bible Study Tools is part of Salem Web Network, the Internet division of Salem Media Group. Salem Web Network launched in 1999 with a mission to connect Christians through emerging technologies, and today operates some of the most recognized brands in the faith marketplace, including Crosswalk.com and Christianity.com.^3
Why Christians Love Bible Study Tools: "I have used this site nearly daily for years, since the first day I found it. I use the NASB with Strong's when I want to know the original language references. I use the Matthew Henry commentary. It's a MUST-HAVE in my opinion."^4 Other users appreciate the breadth of reading plans — chronological, by topic, 90-day, or yearly — that help build consistent time in the Word.^5 One reviewer shared, "Thank you for offering this for free. I have tried other apps and ended up deleting them because of the cost."^6
