Scofield Reference Bible Notes Now Available!
The study materials from The Scofield Reference Bible are now available on Blue Letter Bible. This extensive work, published in 1909, was born out of C.I. Scofield's conviction that printed Bibles were lacking thorough, in-line study resources. He then undertook the task of creating his own with the help of a wide group of conservative Christian scholars.
In the introduction, (which you can read here), the "distinctive features" of this work are clearly outlined. From extensive inline notes on every verse of the Bible to a detailed alphabetical index of every topic discussed within the resource, this work is comprehensive in its approach to examining Scripture. To learn more about what is offered, check out our detailed blog post.
We pray that this comprehensive work is of benefit to you during your time of study. It is truly a privilege to provide a volume so similar to ours in its intent: to reveal the written Word of God so that the reader may better know the living Word of God, Jesus Christ. May God bless your time in His Word!
Introducing The Bible Says!
Blue Letter Bible is delighted to announce our partnership with The Bible Says, our newest content provider. The Bible Says is an ongoing, verse-by-verse commentary which will cover all of Scripture. Their aim is to explain deep scriptural truths in an easily understandable way for the average person while also serving as a key study resource for ministry leaders. Several writers have contributed to this resource, using purposeful hermeneutics that seek to rightly divide and interpret the Word of God. The following is a direct quote from their website's About page:
"At The Bible Says, we focus on providing biblically grounded content that is both accessible and authentic. Our team is dedicated to careful study of each passage, drawing from history, language, culture, and theology to shed light on Scripture's enduring relevance."
We want to thank The Bible Says for partnering with us to provide their resources in English, Chinese, and Portuguese. It is such a joy to come alongside like-minded brethren who share our mission of providing scripturally sound and biblically faithful resources to better understand the Word of God.

Two New Teaching Series from Pastor Tony Clark
Pastor Tony Clark first joined our library of content providers back in 2022. Since then, he has been an immense blessing to our user base with his insightful expositions on selected books of the New Testament. We are overjoyed to announce that we have two more of his audio series—one on Matthew and another on Mark—to our website and apps. This means Pastor Clark's teachings on Blue Letter Bible now include all four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.
When we asked Pastor Tony what he had to say about these books, he said, "In Matthew and Mark, my hope is that listeners will see Jesus as He is, both the long-awaited Messiah and the Suffering Servant." As you dive into these wonderful messages, we encourage you to seek out the revelation of Christ as both Savior and Servant.

New Functionality Added to Our Tools Layout!
We are excited to share our recent improvement to the "Tools" button on our website with you all: the "Previous" and "Next" buttons. It may seem like a small addition, but we know that it is one that will significantly speed up your study. Originally, if you wanted to view the study tools available for a different verse than the one currently selected, you had to click that verse's unique "Tools" button. Now, we have added the ability to navigate between verses within the "Tools" window.
For example, if you are examining the original Greek of John 3:16 and want to move quickly to verse 17, you simply click or tap the "Next" button to shift to that verse's interlinear view. Likewise, if you wish to go back to verse 16, you can click or tap the "Previous" button. Below is a screenshot highlighting the new buttons in the "Tools" view:
This has been a long-requested addition to our tools by many of our users. Our desire is that it would create a smoother experience as you continue to dive deep into God's Word!
