CD Earth: Free Bible Study, Bible Verse and Bible Commentary Software

During this Easter and Passover holiday season, it's a good time to talk about Bible Reference and Bible Study software. Many of us want to improve our knowledge of Bible verse and other spiritual material.

All students of the Bible will find religious software invaluable. Religious software can be a great addition to any spiritual collection. With most Bible Study software you can search for a specific verse, compare texts, find all passages that reference a certain word or character and much more.

You can find free bible software and free bible study online. Many of these products come with dozens or even hundreds of bible texts, commentary texts, lexicons, bible dictionaries, and even daily devotionals.

Example of Bible texts include:

  • King James Bible
  • American Standard Version
  • Darby Bible
  • A Conservative Version
  • World English Bible
  • Webster Bible
  • and many more

Commentary texts include:

  • Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
  • Luther's Commentary on Galatians
  • Jamieson Fausset Brown Bible Commentary
  • John Lightfoot Commentary
  • Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible
  • Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible
  • Darby Translation Notes
  • and many more

Lexicons & Dictionaries include:

  • Strong's Greek Bible Dictionary
  • Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary
  • Robinson's Morphological Analysis Codes
What's most incredible is that you can spend over $1000 on books to compile a similar collection that usually comes free with the software. Bible software also makes it easy with all the texts in one location so you can search for a certain passage, look up your favorite Bible verse, then cross-reference it with your preferred commentaries or look up its meaning in one of the specialized Bible dictionaries.
