Plug For Two Excellent Bible Websites

I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but, I've incorporated some Java coding into this blog that when to hover over a scripture reference, it pops up the scripture in a little dialog box (i.e. Acts 2:38). This is a very neat tool, and it is provided by Bible.Logos.com. I see that other bloggers have been incorporating this tool into their blog, and I think it provides not only a nice little reference tool, but also can keep a blog a little less bogged down with a lot of quotations. There are instructions on the site for adding this bit of Javascript to your website if you are interested. However, this is not the only online Bible tool that I use.

My favorite Bible website is Blue Letter Bible. This site is my online Bible of choice. It has many of the same features that other online Bibles have, but has a few special ones that I think are really nice. One of the main good points that is has is audio Bibles (four versions right now), which can be started from any chapter you happen to be reading at the time. Also, every verse has links to Hebrew and Greek lexicons (depending on the original language), commentaries (many in streaming audio format), parallel translations, study tools, dictionary aids, and one of the most unique features, it has a hymn database that lists hymns that are derived from that scripture.

Both of these programs are excellent, and I like them very much. I highly recommend Blue Letter Bible to anyone with an internet connection. I'm interested in your favorite web tools as well. If you have a favorite, please list them in the comments with a brief description of why they are your favorite.
