Concordances
The use of a concordance can be invaluable for Bible study.
It enables a verse to be found very quickly, and finding every occurrence of a word in the Bible enables many types of studies to
be done. For instance, looking up every reference to a word like "grace" will
enable the reader to do a study on this important Biblical topic. Such searches
are even easier with a software program, but if you're still using a hardcopy
Bible, then a hardcopy Concordance will be helpful.

Introductions to the Bible
Introduction to the New Testament
- by D. A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo. The primary focus
of An Introduction to the New Testament is on what used to be called
"special introduction" - that is, on historical questions dealing with
authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth. Kindle edition.
New Testament Introduction
- by Donald Guthrie. A text book I used at seminary. Very extensive
discussions. A careful recasting of a benchmark evangelical work, this new
edition provides a fixed point for surveying the terrain on the New Testament
and its interpreters.
New Testament Survey
- By Robert G. Gromacki. This text represents a true survey. It provides
an introduction to the New Testament free of technical discussion. Kindle edition.
Survey of Old Testament Introduction
- By Gleason
Archer. A text book I used at seminary. Invaluable to students, scholars, and laymen who want to understand
the conservative position on Old Testament introduction and are not afraid to
examine critical views.

hundreds of Scriptures references included in each study. By the director of
Darkness to Light, Gary F. Zeolla. Kindle edition

you can find the information that helps you get the most out of your Bible
study. Kindle edition.
Synopsis of the Four Gospels
- By Kurt Aland. Indispensable for serious study of the gospels in the
original Greek. Each page features all four gospels in a line-by-line synopsis,
Greek on the left page, English (RSV) on the right. The Greek text is the
Critical text. Also available in an edition with the Greek text
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
- By John Canne; R. A.
Torrey. Five-Hundred Thousand Scripture References and Parallel Passages. Far more
than is found in Study and Reference Bibles. Only please, note, do NOT get the New
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. It is a very bulky volume that adds much unnecessary
and unreliable information, such as theological notes from an Arminian
perspective. The original Treasury just gives the cross-references
without bias comments. Kindle edition.
