  The other tool I use a lot is Xiphos, which works natively on Linux and is available from the software repo for my Linux distro (Ubuntu). It isn't as powerful as theWord, but it also has a nice and large module repository and is quite comfortable to use for me. Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s an underrated translation of the Bible?

  Note that there's also the "KJVAE (King James Version, American Edition)", that one's different. And I'm actually having a hard time finding a site I trust that has the original AKJV online, so I don't have a link. However, it is available as a module for theWord Bible Software, as well as for Bible software that uses the SWORD module library (like Xiphos and the Bishop mobile app). Source: about 2 years ago

• I feel connected to Christianity despite being Muslim my whole life

  If you're in the US or some other equally free nation, then you can go straight for the Bible. I would hop on Blue Letter Bible for starters. If you decide to go into in-depth study, theWord and e-Sword would be what I would spring for next. Note that those work on Windows - if you're on a Mac, Eloquent should work - I've never used it, but it looks nice. And if you're a Linux user, Xiphos should have you covered.

• I am looking for a Bible which is a literal translation (preferably NASB1995, but I'm open to suggestions) and has good footnotes regarding textual variation. Any suggestions?

  The only downside to this approach is that, while theWord is free, the NASB module is somewhat pricey. However, there's so many other translations in there for free, so you should be able to find something to fit your needs. If you're looking for a free NASB, you can use Xiphos. The NASB is in the "Lockman Foundation" module repository. That way, you can put Xiphos on one side of the screen, put theWord on the... Source: over 2 years ago

• Help. I have recently joined bible study in our church amd I realized something...

  I would highly recommend getting some free Bible software. You can download a whopping load of Bible translations, sort through them until you find one you really like, then use the others as a fallback for if you run into confusion. As for Bible software recommendations, theWord is AMAZING, e-Sword is pretty good, and Xiphos will work if you're a Linux user. If you're on macOS, you might try Eloquent - I've not...

• I just had breakfast with an old friend of mine, the father of a childhood friend. He happens to be a pastor and I came to him seeking guidance. With his help I have accepted Jesus into my heart. What can I do to strengthen this connection to Jesus and God?

  Thirdly, if you don't have one already, get a Bible. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get some fancy leather-covered tome of onion paper. There's tons of free Bible software out there that have extraordinary amounts of study materials, everything from Bible translations, to original Hebrew and Greek texts (which come in real handy sometimes), daily devotionals, books, dictionaries, etc., etc. I...
