I dislike study Bibles. I almost said I hate them, but since I do tolerate some of them, that would be overstating the case. My problem with them is that they tend to blur the distinction between the text that we’re studying and the commentary made about it. I have managed to keep my annoyance…
Sometimes I like to recommend various Bible study tools, and this is especially fun when the tools themselves are free and of good quality. Free software is often worth precisely the price you pay for it, but in the case of e-Sword, you will be pleasantly surprised. (Note: For other Bible study tools see my…
I try not to call what I do here “reviewing” as I don’t really try to provide an academic review. In fact, I might do better to call these “Ramblings after Reading.” In the case of this book I need to provide an additional caveat. Dave Black is a friend, and I publish several books…
We’ve completed our study of Philippians using Bruce Epperly’s study guide (Philippians: A Participatory Study Guide). This is the second time I’ve taught Philippians using that guide, and I’d like to compare the two experiences. This will tell you something of the nature of the guide. The first time I used this, it was in…
I previously reviewed the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary on Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy on my book blog and have posted a number of notes about it on this blog. So when I had an opportunity to review the volume in the same series on 1 & 2 Chronicles, I jumped at it. I would say many…
One key question for computer savvy, or at least computer-involved Bible students is the type of Bible study software to purchase. Many can get along well with e-Sword, which I’ve reviewed before. (Be sure to read into the comments for some corrections.) Now there’s a new, free resource from Bible.org, the producers of the NET…

Nice – and way ahead of me – and some of them are doing exactly what I want to do and more. I must explore these. Thanks for the list.
Free verse by verse Bible study !!!!
Conservative, evangelical exegesis using
1. history
2. context
3. original word meanings
4. syntax-grammar
5. genre
6. parallel passages
These Bible studies emphasize the original inspired authors’ intent (one
meaning) and then attempts to offer possible applications (significances).
These free Bible studies are available in video, audio & written formats.
Please look at http://www.freebiblecommentary.org and if you like it a free Cd-rom
is available upon request which contains all of the written material.
Please remember that no one agrees completely with any commentary. They
are meant to be thought provoking, not definitive!
I am making this life’s work available free to be a blessing to the body
of Christ. I was teaching at an OMS seminary in Haiti several years ago and
I felt the Lord say to my heart”make them available free”. I am trying to
follow that “word”. If you feel comfortable share this website address with
others interested in Bible study.
