BIBLE GATEWAY is a well known free service for reading and researching the Bible online - in the translation of your choice. Lots of other goodies as well. We use it often.

ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIAS

THEOPEDIA is an online encyclopedia of Biblical Christianity. Highly recommended.

In fact, check out their list of online Bible Study Tools.

THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA ONLINE is also highly recommended. See Terry Allen's article on ISBE HERE.

If you want a vast array of different translations, check out BIBLE RESOURCES. The site is also useful for the Bible in different languages.

DIFFERENT BIBLE VERSIONS. Dedicated sites.

 BIBLIA.COM is the first we should mention as it has various versions (eg ESV, NIV) but its strength is its STUDY BIBLE approach.

ESV. The English Standard Version is a preferred translation with many evangelicals due to its accuracy. Highly recommended!

NIV. New International Version. The International Bible Society's site SEND THE LIGHT is useful for NIV users.

CJB. Complete Jewish Bible. The CJB is the only English version of the Bible totally Jewish in presentation and style that includes both the "Tanakh" (Old Testament) and the "B'rit Hadashah" (New Testament).
