Grace to You ministries (John MacArthur) recently released his study Bible App. It needs some tweaking on Adroid devices but on an "i" something it works pretty good. The App is free but they do ask for $5.95 to include his study notes. Without the study notes option there is a good cross-references for each verse and key words/themes.

As they go, I find MacArthur more solid and informative than most.

I'm pretty happy with the print stuff I use now so not sure I'm in need of a change. But like with @dysert, I much appreciate the heads up. :oldthumbsup:

I have a plethora of hard copy bibles. At least a dozen different translations. My favorite is the 1972 NASB. (not as fond of the 95 Update) I also have KJV, NIV, NKJV, ESV, NLT, TLV, GNT, WEB, HNV, HCSB, etc. Those are most of the Christian ones.

I have Stone Edition Tenach (Art Scroll), Evert Fox Torah, JPS Tenach, Jewish Study Bible (2nd ed) and a few VERY OLD denominational study bibles (mostly Conservative Jewish) on the Jewish side of things.

I also have several in electronic version, and use mostly Olive Tree, YouVersion, Bible Gateway and BlueLetter. I have the complete Hebrew Text of the OT in my Davka Writer program.

Have you given Blueletterbible.org a try? You can type in a book, chapter (and verse) and it will give you the Lexicon (Strongs). Bible Hub is a step up from that but found the navigation to be cumbersome.
Thanks for the suggestion. Never used it before but seems helpful, might need some time to get used to the navigation though.

I also use the verse-by-verse Bible commentary at Studylight.org with different commentaries of the same verse all on the same page: Verse-by-Verse Bible Commentary

I use a combination of things...my NKJV Study Bible, many online sources like Biblegateway, these forums and my favorite is listening to audio books while driving. There's an app called Overdrive which allows you to connect with your library and you can download all kinds of books. I choose to do the audio MP3 types. I've learned so much while just driving and listening.
I do appreciate the KJV.

I have a few paper bound Bibles. Online I use biblegateway.com. I like it that I can see all the translations of the same verse all in one page.

Same here :)

I have a New American Standard for church, because that's what my pastor preaches from and it's easier to follow his reading from it. At home, I use both a NIV and an old Scoffield along with Strongs, MacArthur's Bible handbook, concordance and an Ungers for study. Because I have Aspergers, I don't always get the parables, stories and poetry, so I need a lot of references that paraphrase the intent of each verse. :oops:

I reckon the old Scofield uses the King James. I myself am actually pretty comfortable with the KJV.
