study in order to transform

Helps answer difficult questions about the bible/faith, theology and gives great insight into the parts of scripture that might be intimidating to read. It also offers insight into historical and cultural contexts.

Pastor Brad describes this as the closest free resource to seminary that he could find!  Although the website may be difficult to navigate, it is a great resource that has phenomenal diagrams, word studies, and outlines of each book of the bible.  

Bible thinker is run by Pastor Mike Winger, a Cavalry Chapel certified/trained pastor. He focuses on in-depth study of scripture and delves into apologetics some. His main focus is helping people understand scripture better.  

Great for basic study of biblical language. It includes some aspects of cultural and historical study, and it has minimal bible commentary. 

Contains awesome biblical historical/cultural articles! It is more informative by topic than centered around specific questions, and it has a great free bible commentary.  It does not put a strong emphasis on biblical language.

An incredible bible app! It gives great insight into basic biblical language concepts, has great graphics and commentaries. The basic version is free!

Over a dozen scholars came together to translate this, and they included their own personal notes. 

Great for understanding the bible according to its original readers, putting great emphasis on original language and cultural/historical context. This bible is very “academic” in nature and is not a devotional bible/life application.
