A student of the Bible ought to have a library of Bible study resources to assist them with their study. The Bible student should assemble their Bible study library beginning with one or two books and growing from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very importantly, although one has to be discerning, the internet provides a wide variety of quality resources. Websites like preceptaustin.org and bible.org are two good options. Warning: Preceptaustin.org will give you data overload!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brief discussion below lists the contents of a basic Bible study library. My plan is to add to this listing in the future. Please note that a more expansive discussion of a basic Bible study library is in the PDF version: https:\/\/stevebelsheim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/STAGE-TWO-Assembly-Basic-Bible-Study-Library-Rev-1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe there are nine basic Bible study tools that comprise a basic Bible study library. These Bible study tools are below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) a study Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) a Bible Background Commentary or Bible survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) a Bible dictionary that contains definitions of biblical terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) an exhaustive concordance of the Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (5) a lexicon (or dictionary) of the original languages that defines the original words in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (6) a book of maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (7) a systematic theology book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (8) an English dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (9) a \u201chow to study the Bible\u201d book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PDF version discusses each tool and contains my recommendations for Bible study tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
