People from church often ask me how I know what I know about the Bible—what books I read, what resources I use, what websites I go to. For those who are asking, here’s a quick rundown of my answers. There’s more but consider these the basics.
Bible Study Apps:
OliveTree Bible: the cheapest (and easiest to use)
Accordance Bible: the fastest (and best)
Logos Bible Software: the smartest (and bulkiest)
Amazon Kindle: the dullest (the only thing it can do is make you read a book from cover to cover)
Commentaries:
Expositor’s Bible Commentary
Tyndale Commentary (OT/NT)
Bible Dictionaries:
Vines Complete Dictionary
Mounce Complete Expository Dictionary
BDAG and HALOT (Greek and Hebrew; not for beginners)
Systematic Theology:
Wayne Grudem
Millard Erickson
Books:
Living By the Book (Howard Hendricks)
Dug Down Deep (Joshua Harris—I know, I know)
Knowing God (J.I. Packer)
