Helpful Resources: Bible Gateway


     This website is amazing! Almost every translation of the Bible you can think of is here online for free! One of the greatest things about using this site is that as long as you have an internet connection, then you have a wonderful tool at your fingertips. You no longer have to worry about learning everything on a certain program only to find that when you are away from your computer you have no way to use it. This site can be used with any device that can get on the internet. There is also a Bible Gateway app if you prefer that route.

     When you look up a Scripture, there are many options for further study. There is a "study this" section that brings up Bible notes and/or commentaries. Another extremely helpful resource is the button that looks like a volume button. When you click this icon a list of audio Bibles will appear so you can listen to that passage. If you don't like the audio Bible that first comes up, then simply choose another. There are so many to choose from that I am certain you can find one that works for you.

     They have been expanding their study section and now include several commentaries. One commentary I particularly like looking at is the "Reformation Study Bible" notes. I really like learning about the history of the church and also how people understood Scripture throughout the ages. 

     If you are new to Bible Gateway, then perhaps you should check out their tutorial. I'm sure there are many features that I have yet to discover. Let's find them out together!
