Many know I'm a fan the the ESV Study Bible (and since it is too big to carry around, I take advantage of the online version).
Another resource that some might be interested–particularly if you are in an intentional relationship for growth (small group, accountability group, memtoring relationship or adult Bible class) is the new Faithlife Study Bible. It's free through 2014.
It is produced by the makes of the Bible study software that I have used for 20 years–Logos.com.
The iPad app is excellent.
The videos below lays out some of what it can do–but the exciting part is actually the interactive Study Bible.
Also see these features.
This video shows the functionality of the Study Bible.
We’re reinventing the study Bible for the digital age. While print study Bibles are limited to a few study notes per page, the digital FSB provides much, much more:
- 3 layers of study notes (over 1.4 million words total)
- Lexham Bible Dictionary (2,500+ articles)
- Lexham English Bible Shared reading plans
- Shared notes
- About 400 photos, videos, and infographics
- Access to Faithlife, the new Christian online community.
This is exactly what the iPad needed. My ESV single-column reference bible is my personal fav, but digital is SO nice. Plus you can share your epiphanies on Facebook…
Seems as though this new product from Logos requires a "coupon" to download.
I'm very interested in the idea of a "distance" mens group that incorporates this platform to fill in for in-person meetings.
