Bible Explorer: Read & Study

Read, listen to and explore the Bible from many angles. No ads. EXPLORE EVERY VERSE • Chapter overview: the people, places, times and connections of the chapter you’re reading, each checked against the text. Tap a person for their family and life in verses, or a place for its map and what’s nearby. • The original: the Hebrew or Greek words of any verse, with their meaning and grammar in plain words. • Echo: 241 quotations of the Old Testament in the New. Jump from a verse to where it’s quoted, and back. • Bible in art: famous paintings and prints beside the verses they show, from museums that release them freely. Switch it off for plain reading. THE EXPLORE TAB • Person and place of the day, a timeline of 57 periods, a map of every place, journeys stop by stop, and family links traced through the verses. • The Gospels side by side, and Kings beside Chronicles. • An encyclopedia: animals, plants, food, crafts, clothing, money and measures, music, festivals, the Temple, “Meanwhile in the world”, and the family tree of Genesis. • 101 topics, from friendship to giants, with every verse.
