Web Resources for Bible Study


Now with the world wide web there are many educational resources available for Bible study. Some of these sites are text based while others are more interactive and allow you to take virtual tours of the Holy Land or search through pictures and maps. Take some time and look through some of these resources, hopefully you will learn something in the process!
