The other two tools can be downloaded and used on multiple devices. I would recommend bookmarking Bible Hub on your laptop simply for the large number of English translations, commentaries, and other reference works it has. My personal opinion is that Lumina’s quality is somewhat better while Bible Hub shines in sheer quantity of resources. Two other completely free Bible study tools are online only: Bible Hub and Lumina.

Perhaps the best of these is the STEP Bible, produced by Tyndale House in Cambridge it may be used online or downloaded to be used in your browser even when offline. ![]() In a separate article, I review professional Bible study programs of varying costs that are much more advanced in their features.įive of the many completely free tools I have reviewed are rich enough in features that I would judge them to be good or even very good.
