Our app comes with NIV, ESV, KJV, NKJV, and more. We also have Bibles in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and more. The Life Application Study Bible is the runaway favorite in the study category because of the breadth and relevance of the notes, charts, profiles, timelines, and so much more that support the biblical text,” says Tyndale brand director Jim Jewell. “There’s nothing comparable to the scale of helpful recommendations throughout on how to apply the Bible’s teaching to everyday life. It’s a proven Bible for all times, with content applicable to all ages and to the good and bad circumstances of life, generation to generation.”

Bible Gateway interviewed Ron Beers, general editor of the Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition, (Tyndale House/Zondervan, 2019). Ron Beers: Leviticus 13:47-59 is a difficult passage about how the Israelites were to treat contaminated (unclean) clothing. The LASB note reads:Co-publisher of the Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition is HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc., the parent company of Bible Gateway. New features include: a refreshed interior design with a second color for visual clarity; meaningfully updated study notes and features; and the Christian Worker's Resource- a special supplement to enhance the reader's ministry effectiveness. Give an example of how a current issue in the Christian faith is handled in the notes about it in the LASB. Ron Beers: Millions of people are indebted to whomever had the original vision for Bible Gateway. Having easy access to any verse of the Bible in multiple translations helps Bible study come alive. What a privilege for me to talk about a Study Bible on Bible Gateway!

The software is pretty good, but it is missing some important features. 1st, there is no way to attach anything in notes, such as of sermon/class handouts, slideshow pictures, or pictures taken with a camera. I have to use Apple's OCR Scan Text for pictures and paste the words into the notes for each sermon/class, but that still means any photos/pictures aren't included and instead I have to make a comment to view photos taken on that day to view pictures I took of handouts or slideshow.

Get daily Bible app notifications each morning for the Bible verse of the day and daily devotional; What was the original decision process in selecting which passages of Scripture would be associated with study notes?

Create personal study notes in the Bible app with our “verse notes” feature! See your personal insights as you read through the Bible; it would be helpful if default templates could be made so new notes would start with a certain set of words and paragraphs since sermons/classes follow a pretty set format. What I have done as a workaround is I just created some notes which I copy and then paste into a new note I create for each sermon/class, but it is annoying. Ron Beers: These are the two most popular “modern” translations in the US right now. They are both excellent for reading and study. The NLT would lean more toward a “thought-for-thought” translation philosophy (putting greater emphasis on the intended original meaning of a passage) while the NIV would lean a bit more literal in its translation philosophy (putting slightly more emphasis on translating each word with its original language equivalent). Both translation philosophies have their merits. I’m a member of the Central Bible Translation Committee for the New Living Translation (NLT), so I am of course biased in that direction! The phenomenally bestselling Life Application Study Bible (LASB), with its signature feature of 10,000 Life Application® verse notes, is now updated and expanded in a refreshed 3rd edition. Whether you’re new to the Bible or a lifelong reader, this study Bible includes clarifications that help you understand the language, advice on how to apply the Bible’s teaching to everyday life, descriptions of the context and setting, profiles of key Bible people, guides for finding what you’re looking for, and more.Other than the issue with notes listed above everything is good. I'd give the software 5/5 stars if it wasn't for the inconvenience of not being able to have attachments as that is the biggest issue. So it sent me on a search through all the available study Bibles on the market. I found study notes about Wormwood but no notes on Worry. I found notes on Phylacteries, but not a single note on Purpose or Priorities. I found notes on the town of Gozan but nothing on Goals. This research begged the question: If the Bible is supposed to be a blueprint for living, then there should be plenty of verses that show us how to live as a disciple of Jesus, how we can live transformed lives, how to bear much fruit (as Jesus put it). But not a single study Bible did this—there was lots of information, but no application. Give an example of a difficult passage of Scripture for which notes are written to better understand it. Our passion is inspiring you to connect with God and His Word. Not only is this a free Bible app, but we also have 100s of free books. Charts and diagrams help readers visualize different concepts and relationships and their significance in the book, throughout the Bible and in our lives. Maps
