Parallel Version Comparison on the Web

For over a decade, Blue Letter Bible has offered a unique feature on our mobile apps: a parallel Bible version comparison where you can read two translations side by side. This gives users a quick, effective way to perform word and phrase studies. It also allows users to readily compare original language texts to the English translations.

We have received countless requests to bring this feature to the website over the years, and now, it's finally here. We are beyond excited to announce that we have added this functionality to our website! The parallel Bible is not only a quick and easy way to compare English translations but an invaluable resource for students and teachers seeking quick reference to the original languages.

We are so blessed by the talented team of developers that work on BLB and its various offerings. If you are interested in learning more about the tool and its development, you can watch this interview with our Chief Executive Officer, Andy Guastaferro, and the project's lead developer, David Larsen. To learn how to use the parallel view, you can read the "How to Use the Parallel Version Comparison" section of our blog post. May God bless your time in His Word!

Scofield Reference Bible Notes Now Available!

The study materials from The Scofield Reference Bible are now available on Blue Letter Bible. This extensive work, published in 1909, was born out of C.I. Scofield's conviction that printed Bibles were lacking thorough, in-line study resources. He then undertook the task of creating his own with the help of a wide group of conservative Christian scholars.

In the introduction, (which you can read here), the "distinctive features" of this work are clearly outlined. From extensive inline notes on every verse of the Bible to a detailed alphabetical index of every topic discussed within the resource, this work is comprehensive in its approach to examining Scripture. To learn more about what is offered, check out our detailed blog post.

Introducing The Bible Says!

Blue Letter Bible is delighted to announce our partnership with The Bible Says, our newest content provider. The Bible Says is an ongoing, verse-by-verse commentary which will cover all of Scripture. Their aim is to explain deep scriptural truths in an easily understandable way for the average person while also serving as a key study resource for ministry leaders. Several writers have contributed to this resource, using purposeful hermeneutics that seek to rightly divide and interpret the Word of God. The following is a direct quote from their website's About page:

"At The Bible Says, we focus on providing biblically grounded content that is both accessible and authentic. Our team is dedicated to careful study of each passage, drawing from history, language, culture, and theology to shed light on Scripture's enduring relevance."

We want to thank The Bible Says for partnering with us to provide their resources in English, Chinese, and Portuguese. It is such a joy to come alongside like-minded brethren who share our mission of providing scripturally sound and biblically faithful resources to better understand the Word of God. To start reading, head over to their author page on our website. You can also head over to The Bible Says website to learn more about the philosophy behind their commentary.
