AndBible: Bible Study

by AndBible Open Source Project

Powerful Bible Study tool

AndBible: Bible Study is a powerful, yet easy to use, offline Bible study application for Android. The app does not aim to be simply a Bible reader, but focuses on being an advanced tool to do in-depth personal Bible study.

This application is developed by Bible readers, for Bible readers. It aims at helping you make your Bible study convenient, deep and fun. The best part about this non-profit community project is that it is open-source, completely free, and contains no advertisements.

A few popular Bible versions (of the many available) are KJV, NASB, NET, and also popular commentaries like Matthew Henry and John Gill

Powerful Bible Study features

The application has many insightful, original features, that makes a complex and deep Bible study experience smoother than ever. The most notable features are as follows:

  • Split text views that enable comparing translations and consulting commentaries
  • Workspaces allow multiple Bible study setups with their own settings
  • Strong’s integration allows Greek and Hebrew word analysis
  • Linked cross-references, footnotes, and documents; jump to cross-references and footnotes by simply tapping a link; perform in-depth study of the Scriptures by using hyperlinked commentaries (Gill, Matthew Henry etc.), cross-reference collections (Treasure of Scripture Knowledge, TSKe) and other resources.
  • Advanced text to speech with speak bookmarks, enabling a smooth Bible listening experience
  • Flexible searching
  • Advanced bookmarking & highlighting features with personal study notes
  • Study Pads for adding notes and Bible references while listening to sermons.
  • Reading plans: set goals for reading the Bible
  • Vast library of documents: Bible translations, theological commentaries, dictionaries, maps, and christian books, totaling over 1500 documents in over 700 languages, legally distributed by Crosswire and other SWORD repositories.
  • Native support for MyBible, MySword and EPUB files enables you to extend your library even more.

Let’s make the best Bible app together!

AndBible is an open-source community project. In practice, this means that anyone with suitable skills can, and is encouraged to, contribute to the project by:

  • testing not-yet-released features,
  • keeping user interface translations up-to-date, and
  • helping to extend the module library by obtaining permissions from copyright holders, or by converting documents to SWORD format.

I LOVE AndBible. It is the best Bible app out there. I have Logos and Olive Tree as well for a few copyright resources, but AndBible is my daily Bible.
