BIBLE STUDY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET
Prepared by Ernest Clevenger

             From among the thousands of sites available on the Internet here are a few that may enhance your study and knowledge of God’s Word.  These sites are developed by people with various agendas, beliefs, doctrinal persuasions, religious backgrounds, and histories and should be used with discretion.  Please consider both the source and purpose of the material presented before accepting material as fact.  Let the Bible be the final authority.

http://www.google.com  Search by key word or phrase using AND or +, OR, NOT or -, and for numeric searches <, >, +, -.  One can ask a question, insert a scripture reference, enter the name of a Bible character, etc. and get many “hits” of locations where the information sought might be found.  The best searches are usually with one or two words.
