Study Bibles combine the resources of a Bible dictionary, manners and customs, concordance,
atlas, and commentary into one Book. While they provide a convenient and portable means to
have a deeper personal Bible study while traveling, they are not a substitute for a true reference.
Yet for those who may not be able to afford any reference works, Study Bibles offer a powerful
aid to the casual Bible reader.
Just remember this rule for good Bible study:
First - read the Bible.
Second - then consult the references.
Included in this category is Interlinear Bibles. These special Bibles will have the Old
Testament Hebrew and / or New Testament Greek on one line with the literal English equivalent
underneath them. Grammatical markers are used to indicate nouns, prepositions, articles, etc.,
which provide you a greater insight on the subject of translation.
Various Bible translations were also included here, because their prefaces / forewards provide
information about the challenges and task of translation; this information would help one gain a
deeper appreciation of those toiling in the task of translating the Bible.
