Recommended Bible Study Software


We offer a free bible study tool called WordLinks which is simple to use and runs in almost any web browser. You can use it directly from our website.

Although WordLinks is simple to use and works relatively well, it has several disadvantages. Because it runs within a web browser, it is large and somewhat slow when compared with other programs which install directly on your computer, such as those listed below.

The following bible study tools require installation and operate using the native executable format of your computer. Consequently they are much faster and offer more powerful features which are not possible within WordLinks.
