The Bible Hub website and app are so outstanding it's top of this otherwise alphabetical list! Useful for students and leaders alike, Bible Hub has a wealth of resources for growing. Two especially helpful tools are "Parallel" (the Bible in multiple English translations) and "Interlinear" (translation of the original Hebrew and Greek). From "Interlinear," many linked features permit word studies, including Strong's and Englishman's.

The Action Bible presents the Bible's main narrative accounts in graphic novel format. This book doesn't replace Scripture, but is an excellent "big picture" study aid, covering the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Designed with children in mind, it is also helpful for adults who would benefit from this format (and is a work of art in its own right!). In English or Spanish.

The Biggest Story ABC makes a wonderful "first Bible"! The familiar alphabet format tells the story of God's redemptive plan in a sturdy board book designed for little hands. With comprehensive coverage of the Bible's central message, it also refreshes adults' memories on how the Bible all fits together. With stunning, informative artwork, this book is both delightful and edifying.

Who determines what is canonical Scripture? The Bible itself answers this fundamental question. (Spoiler alert: it's neither religious tradition nor popular opinion.)

​

In this readable two-page paper, Paul Sullivan compiles what Scripture asserts and explains regarding the Bible's canonicity.

This simple fact sheet, prepared by Paul Sullivan, summarizes the manuscripts and conventional modern layout of the Bible.

Understanding these things helps us grasp just how carefully God’s words have been handed down through time.

 Written from a counselor's perspective, this book explains the "how" of Christian behavior flowing from gospel grace (Ro 6:14). As such, it helps us put Bible study into practice. God intends us to use his law against our sinful natures. We dare not turn his gospel that produces free obedience into a new law! Written with families in mind, its lessons are also applicable to many roles in life.

The Holy Spirit inspired four separate records of Jesus' life and ministry. Synchronizing, or harmonizing, them helps us see which gospel accounts are parallel. It can also aid in understanding the big picture. (Example: At what points did Jesus withdraw from public ministry... and why?) Paul Sullivan created this harmony as an aid to both narrow and broad learning. Compact enough to fold inside a Bible cover, it makes a wonderful reference.

This website has proven its worth in assisting with finding just the right hymn (or hymn version) for studies or worship. Hymnary.org includes some contemporary hymns along with ones already in the public domain (proper permissions must still be obtained for use of copyrighted music and text). Their rich database permits searching by title, topic, author, Scripture text, hymnal, language, even the notes of a melody…

Artwork by James Tissot (1836–1902) is in the public domain. His evocative paintings bring Bible scenes to life: a wonderful addition to bulletins, projections, teaching material, and more! Tissot's work does have flaws (his European Christian background at times creeps into portrayals of Jewish life; the clothing depicted is from his own era). But Tissot strove for authenticity, traveling to Palestine to study the area and its people.

This one-page guide offers "best practices" for leaders of active learning Bible studies. Created by Paul Sullivan, pastor for 15 years and professor for 23 years, this helpful tip sheet offers guiding principles behind answers to common questions. It's useful for both lay leaders and clergy who want to try active learning studies.

How do people figure out the approximate dates when events in the Old Testament occurred? Paul Sullivan's active learning exercise explains the method, then provides the Bible references for you to perform the calculations!

Work this exercise independently, or use it with a Bible group as a fun interactive study. Calculators are permitted. ;)

Do the gospels really agree on the historical timeline of Jesus' passion? They certainly do! Paul Sullivan's chart presents Bible verses which establish the time frame of these triumphant ten days, along with Jewish historians' explanations of ways the word "Passover" was used to refer to different aspects of the festival.

Follow steps 1–13 to witness the Bible's detailed precision foretelling and recording Christ's breathtaking victory over our sin.

How did Julius Caesar's assassination lead to Herod the Great ruling Judea? Is Luke's dating of Tiberius' reign accurate? Answers to these and other questions are revealed in Paul Sullivan's thorough, easy-to-read chart of the human rulers God allowed worldly power—all in order to spread his kingdom.
