Cool Bible Stuff

Studylight.org is a huge repository of enjoyable and enriching Bible study resources. There’s something for nearly everyone on this site; whether you enjoy brief, thoughtful devotionals, deeper word studies of significant Hebrew and Greek terms, or digging into a customizable, resource-rich, multi-layered feast of Scripture, heavily garnished with commentary and explanation. This is a very good site for those who wish to try having quiet times entirely online or who wish to experiment with different ways of thinking about Scripture.

Note: Crosswalk.com is a larger, general portal to Christian-related web sites. This article is only concerned with the Crosswalk Bible Study Tools found at http://bible.crosswalk.com.

Crosswalk.com has achieved a nearly ubiquitous presence on Christian web sites – and deservedly so. Crosswalk.com has earned its popularity by creating useful Bible study resources, documenting them exceptionally well so that you don’t have to be a computer genius to use them, presenting them very attractively, and – lastly but not by any means the least – by making them easily and readily available for others to use and to integrate within their own web sites. It is this last feature, in particular, that has raised the popularity of the site beyond other, similar, tools.

The International Bible Society has just released the entire gospel of Matthew and book of Acts online in full, professionally produced video versions in RealPlayer format. The mere fact of having free online videos of two books of the Bible is cool enough, but what really makes this cool is the fact that IBS has provided bookmarks to each logical “scene” in the book, labelled by the event and indexed by Book, Chapter, and Verses! You can start anywhere you want within each book, making this an ideal alternative quiet time resource. I think it’s pretty cool. Let me know what you think.
