Last week I listed several of my favorite geek websites for technology and church/para-church ministries. Today, I thought I'd put together a list of Bible Study sites I've bookmarked over at del.icio.us.

There are probably hundreds of Bible/Bible Study websites out there, but these are just a few of the ones I've found helpful. I've grouped them into a few categories.

Online Bibles

• BibleGateway.com - A great site to go see what a verse says quickly. This is probably the de-facto website for most Internet Bible users. BibleGateway has close to every version of Scripture I've ever heard of. This is a very impressive site.
• ESV Bible Online - Those of you who know me, know I really like the ESV Bible, and this is the official site. More than that, they offer numerous reading plans in several formats. You can subscribe to your Bible reading plan as an RSS Feed, or have it added to your calendar (iCal format). Or you can have Scripture read to you. I've found it's nice to hear Scripture from time to time instead of reading silently.

Bible + Resources

• The Bible Tool - The Bible Tool is a nice site that allows you to set and keep preferences (much like many other sites). But I really like the interface and the way the site is arranged. It's simple and I've always been fond of simple.
• New Testament Hyper-concordance - how to describe this site? Just like the name suggests, this is like a concordance that's completely linked and ready for the web! You really have to try this. The Semantic Bible site (the creators of the Hyper-concordance) describes it like this: "Each content word is hyperlinked to a page displaying all the verses for that word, preserving context and tightly connecting the content." It's actually a lot harder to describe than to use. Go try it and you'll very quickly figure out how it works.
• StudyLight - This site is a bit of an attempt to create a "portal" for Scripture and Bible studies/commentaries. There are also quite a few weekly columns and cartoons and even a forum section for discussion. When I was teaching Sunday School, I found lots of good ideas at StudyLight to enhance the lessons.

Software

• e-Sword - There are a number of programs I've seen that are great Bible applications, but you can't beat e-Sword for the price: free. e-Sword has hundreds of versions available for download, and most of them are free. (The ones that aren't are due to licensing restrictions of the publishers, i.e. NIV or The Message.) They also have a lot of good commentaries and dictionaries available, and even some older books, like Pilgrim's Progress. Note they also have a version for your PocketPC.
• podBible - Perfect for putting the Bible on your iPod. 'Nuff said.

There's a lot more out there than just the above, but those are good places to start.

What online (or software) Bible's or Bible Study resources do you use?
