This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Free online Bible study tools

What is a Parallel Bible?

The Parallel Bible is a tool useful for studying God’s word. If you don’t know it’s a Bible that shows several (usually 3 or 4) translations side by side for comparison. Today there are software versions also. However some of us may not be able to afford for our own copy of such tools, this is why I am writing this. Click here to go to the online Parallel Bible.

Advantages

Integrates with a cross reference section. This helps to find relative verses.
You can compare a chosen verse against 15 translations.

Disadvantages

Verses are not arranged in side by side columns. They are in rows one after other.
