Examine the Scriptures turns serious Bible study into something you do, not just something you read. Inspired by the Bereans, who "received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11), the app takes proven, verse-by-verse studies and makes them interactive. You read the lesson, answer every question in your own words, tap any reference to read the passage instantly, and finish with a complete, printable study you worked through yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Browse a growing library of studies, organized by series and searchable. - Work through each lesson: read the introduction, respond to the Group Discussion and Personal Reflection prompts, and answer every Study Question in your own words. - Tap any Scripture reference to read the full passage in your chosen translation. - Save your answers automatically on your device — no account, no sign-in, nothing to remember. - Highlight meaningful passages, add personal notes, and bookmark lessons. - Export a clean, printable PDF of your completed study, with your own answers included. - Adjust the text size for comfortable, distraction-free reading. FREE, AND GENUINELY COMPLETE The free experience is not a trial. Every study, every question, PDF export, notes, highlights, and two full translations — the American Standard Version (ASV) and the World English Bible (WEB) — are included at no cost, and work fully offline. TEACHER EDITION (OPTIONAL) An optional Teacher Edition subscription unlocks the modern copyrighted translations — New American Standard Bible (NASB 2020), New King James Version (NKJV), and Christian Standard Bible (CSB) — along with a teacher's guide for every study: teaching aims, commentary, doctrinal notes, and discussion prompts. Any cost exists only to cover the licensing of these copyrighted translations. If you simply want to support the work, an optional tip jar is always appreciated and unlocks nothing on its own — the studies are for everyone. BUILT FOR REAL STUDY Calm, readable, and respectful of your time. Large tap targets, serif typography, and a quiet interface keep the focus on the Word. Your answers stay private on your device. Examine the Scriptures is a ministry-first project from Still Standing Studios, built on the studies at ChurchOfChristBibleStudies.com.
