The Good
Due to some copyright benefits, My Study Bible allows users access to some more exclusive translations of the Bible than other, similar sites. A first-time user will see a helpful tutorial the first time they log in, pointing out the various resources on the site such as search, cross references, library, footnotes, and audio clips to help with pronunciation of various biblical words.
My Study Bible allows the reader two panels so that they can read biblical passages side-by-side with different translations or commentaries. It also links out to a variety of resources that the reader can purchase and, in some cases, download directly through the site.
My Study Bible differs from similar sights such as bible.com and biblegateway.com in that it gives a side-by-side commentary with study tools.
The Bad
A neophyte may find My Study Bible a bit intimidating at first, given the variety of tools available immediately. Also, in order to gain the full benefits of the site, one would have to register with a user name and password.
Conclusion
Of the variety of Bible websites available, My Study Bible ranks near the top in terms of depth and variety of resources. For anyone interested in a deeper reading and understanding of the Biblical texts, it is well worth creating an account and using the tools this site gives its readers.
