"Biblegateway.com" is a web-based Bible study tool.
PROS:
- There are many versions of the Bible here, including the NIV, KJV and The Message, as well as various other language versions.
- Search is possible on boolean operators for words as well as for specific passages.
- Access is free
- Available wherever web access is present
- Copy and Paste into clipboard is available
- Various other study helps are included, such as Nave's Topical Bible.
CONS
- Not a PC-hosted application. Web access is needed (can't use it if no access is available).
- Boolean searches can turn up too many entries in some cases to easily go through.
- Searches cannot be limited to certain areas of the Bible (NT, OT, Gospels, Epistles...)
Summary
This is an excellent tool for pastors who have internet access available when preparing a sermon or lesson. It is, of course, not available when out of contact with the web, so a PC based application is needed in this case. Also, the lack of ability to limit searches to a specific area of the Bible is a handicap. Nevertheless, this is definitely a good site to bookmark and use when possible!
