Charts and maps are a big part of my bible study. I love having charts for quick reference, to organize my thoughts and find information at a glance. Before the internet, we hand to invest in an updated Bible Atlas every few years. Now much of that information is free online. The trick is finding it and then remembering where you found it. Here are a few of my favorite “finds”.

Bible Study Software

My favorite: E-Sword and its sister site BibleSupport.com E-sword is free (though I encourage you to make a donation if you become a regular user) and does EVERYTHING. There is both a desktop version and an app for smart phones, tablets and handhelds. The other software in the list has been recommended to me, but I have not used them.
