You want to go deeper in the Word — not just read it, but study it with the same kind of reference shelf a pastor might keep nearby. Bible Study Tools, from Salem Web Network, puts a large free library of commentaries, concordances, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and lexicons next to the passage you are reading.^1
The site offers more than 30 Bible translations — NIV, KJV, ESV, NLT, CSB, NASB, and The Message — plus commentaries from Matthew Henry, John Gill, John Wesley, Martin Luther, and C. I. Scofield.^1 The free library includes Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Nave's Topical Concordance, the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, Baker's Evangelical Dictionary, Hebrew and Greek lexicons, and historical works such as Foxe's Book of Martyrs and Josephus.^1
A companion iOS app from Salem Communications syncs with your BibleStudyTools.com account for reading plans, parallel translations, and notes on the go.^3 Plans cover chronological, topical, and yearly pacing, and a PLUS subscription adds extra study Bibles, commentaries, printable guides, note-taking and highlighting, and an ad-free experience.^4 Salem Web Network describes itself as a for-profit religious corporation dedicated to building up the Church, affirming the Trinity, the authority of Scripture, and the deity of Christ.^5
