Bible Study Tools

STEP Bible. Free online Bible software. STEP stands for “Scripture Tools for Every Person.” Originally intended for pastors in places with limited to zero access to the internet, this program allows you to do word studies and thematic searches in many English translation versions, along with commentary tools. It’s also downloadable so that you don’t need an internet connection to use. For a helpful guide to using STEP, see here.

Literal Word NASB and ESV. This is a simple online tool that allows you to read the Bible and perform basic searches for words translated into the NASB or ESV versions. These sites were first designed to be mobile device apps. See here for installing this helpful tool on your mobile device.

Blue Letter Bible. This is a free online Bible study tool that is similar to STEP. “Blue Letter Bible provides powerful tools for an in-depth study of God’s Word through our free online reference library, with study tools that are grounded in the historical, conservative Christian faith.” It’s also available to download onto your mobile devices.
