Below
are some books which will be found to be helpful when studying the Bible. As far as is
humanly possible, they do not seek to interpret the Bible. Instead they are designed to
help the Bible student by providing facts rather than opinions.
Concordance: This book can be used to find all the occurrences
of a particular word in the Bible. For example, you could use the concordance to find
every occurrence of the word "love".
Encyclopaedia: A Bible encyclopaedia contains information about
the people, customs, lifestyle, geography, etc. in the Bible.
Lexicon (or Book of Word Studies): A word study book is a lot
like a dictionary - it gives you the meaning of a word. However, this book gives you the
meaning of the original Greek or Hebrew words from which our English Bibles were
translated.
(E-sword.net is our recommendation
for free online Bible software that contains all of the above)
