The PARALLEL PLUS® Bible-study app is for pastors, lay leaders, and others actively seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. PARALLEL: up to 8 columns, 190+ versions. PLUS Greek and Hebrew word studies (verse lists, unabridged Thayer/BDB/Schleusner, word families). PLUS exegetic helps (parsings, translation tips). Free, install now.

EXPERIENCE IT: As you read down the column in one version, when you encounter a verse youd like to better understand, just move your eyes left-and-right to see how other versions express that verse in its context, and then continue reading the chapter. The idea is to introduce as little eye movement as possible, so you can get into the Scriptures and stay there for a while.

BIBLICAL LANGUAGES: See Hebrew and Greek in parallel with other versions. Plus tap any word to lookup the corresponding Hebrew or Greek word and its occurrences. Plus tap any verse to lookup Hebrew or Greek details in a verse: phonetics, parsings, parts of speech, translation tips.

GO DEEPER: Tap any word, then tap “word study” to see: verse lists, lexical entries, and word families. Tap any verse, then tap “verse study” to see verse-at-a-time helps: color-coded parts-of-speech, word forms, phonetics, syllables, and translation tips. It also helps you find familiar Bible verses, even when you only remember a few words; enter "God so loved" in the search box and see where that phrase occurs in every Bible version in your parallel Bible.

PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC: This app automatically aligns verses—by verse content—and displays corresponding verse numbers when different.

COMMENTARY FREE: The act of reading versions in parallel helps readers to understand more deeply. Even without commentary. We feel this is so important that we do not include commentary in our app.

LANGUAGES: Biblical Hebrew and Greek plus English, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and about 50 others.

Pros and cons of PARALLEL PLUS Bible-study app app for iPhone and iPad

PARALLEL PLUS Bible-study app app good for

I have been using Great Treasures as a valuable Greek learning tool for over 10 years and am delighted that the new app has even more flexibility and value for the keen Bible student. I have whole PDF files of Greek Biblical words and their subtle meanings and translations as used in the NT and frequently use them as a devotional or teaching tool in the church, all thanks to this great resource.

Has the standard translations and an experimental one. This can be used by any denomination. Great work.

I am so glad that I can select 4 or more translations and have them side by side. The parallel portion is super sufficient. I have not tried the apps. other functions. The NJKV is not available, yet. Since this is a free app., I will make a donation.

I love how easy and quickly I can be reading a verse in the Working Translation or ESV and look up all the usages of a word by simply tapping the word, including seeing definitions from both Bullinger and Thayer!

This app makes bible study and sermon preparation more efficient and thus more enjoyable. Thank you to the creators!

I love the app and have it on both my iPhone and iPad but after I downloaded the ios10 it stopped working on my iPad but still works on my phone which has the ios10 on it as well is there a way to fix it

Some bad moments

The perfect App for Bible Study! In order for the Bible to be relevant it needs to be translated into the contemporary language of the people who will read it. Over the last 50 years as the English language grew and the meanings of words developed, we have had a dozen incredible translations created. This App allows us look at 7 of them at the same time. Our understanding of Gods Word increases as we compare them. Awesome! Get it!

I have been using the site for in depth study of the word. Im privileged now to have this app I can use on the go, at church and during studies. Amazing resource !!!

I love this app. I enjoy studying the bible in languages that Im learning, as it gives me a new perspective on the verses. With this app, I can put two languages side by side, which is a wonderful way to compare and learn. I hope this app never goes away! Id gladly pay for it.

I just got this app so will not be able to provide an exhaustive review of all of its features. But the fact that is has the Greek New Testament that can be placed side by side with literal translations like the NASB make it immensely valuable (especially if one is learning Greek)! Thank you for an amazing service!

Love being able to compare bible translations side by side and study using this app

This app makes studying the bible easy and effective while comparing different languages/ versions to get the best interpretation. Very recommended.
