All 5 Volumes of John Trapp's Commentary
We are excited to add the complete anthology of classical biblical commentator, John Trapp. His large five-volume commentary is still read today and known for being rich with biblical explanation and theological truths. His volumes are quoted frequently by other religious writers, including Charles Spurgeon and Ruth Bell Graham.
Our most widely read commentator, David Guzik, has benefited extensively from Trapp's work and has this to say: "John Trapp is a classic Puritan commentator with keen insight to the Bible, often presented with witty, catchy phrases that are especially memorable in their Elizabethan English."
You can start reading today by heading over to Trapp's author page. On the apps, you can simply tap a verse, select "Text Commentaries," and choose Trapp's commentary for that section of Scripture.

New Spurgeon Sermons and Selected Categories!
Charles Spurgeon is widely regarded as one of the most God-glorifying preachers in history, earning him the renowned title, "Prince of Preachers." His commentaries and sermons are widely used and beloved by those in the Christian community. Because of this, Blue Letter Bible is always seeking to add more value to his resources that we offer. And we are excited to announce our newest update: categorized sermon groups.
Previously, you could sort our Spurgeon sermons by their designated sermon number ("Sort by Sermon No.") or by their date of delivery ("Sort Canonically"). Now, we have added a section where we have sorted hundreds of these sermons into over 20 brand-new categories. These categories include "Blood & the Cross," "Heaven & Hell," and "Prayer," to name a few. All of the sermons on the site are accessible in the standard "Spurgeon's Sermons" section, but many are also included in the topically sorted section.
Along with adding topical categories, we have also added over 200 new sermons to Spurgeon's author page overall, bringing the total to over 1,000. It is such a blessing to be able to offer so much content from one of the greatest preachers in history. We pray that his messages are a blessing to your time in God's Word. We hope to continue providing more resources from this godly man and preacher.

New Bible Overview from Kress Biblical Resources
Blue Letter Bible has been blessed by God with a wonderful partnership with Kress Biblical Resources for the last few years. They have generously provided us with several free resources on our website and apps. Now, we are excited to announce the most recent addition from Kress: A Concise Outline Introduction to the Bible.
This resource offers succinct, broad outlines of every book of the Bible to enrich our users' understanding of the whole of Scripture. The work begins with the overall theme of the Bible before proceeding to focus on how the themes of the Old and New Testaments are related. Kress then compares these to the individual themes and overall structure of each book. Thus, the reader is able to gain a deep appreciation of Scripture's interconnectedness and how seamlessly it fits together.
We want to thank Kress Biblical Resources for their sweet partnership with our ministry. Their provision of Bible outlines to our website and apps is a huge blessing to both us and our users. If you would like to browse their print catalog, you can visit their website or online store.
