The Blue Letter Bible Project is an initiative of Sowing Circle, a United States-based, non-denominational Christian ministry, who have created a Study Bible in both CD format and for the internet.

Sowing Circle, a California 501(c)(3) Private Operating Foundation, was founded in November 1995.

The Project supports 12 English Bible translations, Hebrew and the Septuagint for the Old Testament, and the Greek Textus Receptus and Westcott-Hort versions for the New Testament.

Integrated study tools include Gesenius' Lexicon for the Old Testament, and Thayer's Lexicon for the New Testament, as well as English and Strong's Concordances for the entire Bible.

Dozens of Bible Commentaries are also available.

Biblical software or Bible software is a group of computer applications designed to read, study and in some cases discuss biblical texts and concepts.

Biblical software programs are similar to e-book readers in that they include digitally formatted books, may be used to display a wide variety of inspirational books and Bibles, and can be used on portable computers.

However, biblical software is geared more toward word and phrase searches, accessing study bible notes and commentaries, referencing various modern translations, cross-referencing similar passages and topics, biblical dictionaries, original language texts and language tools, maps, charts, and other e-books deemed relevant to understanding texts from a philological approach.

Hebrew (' or) is a language native to Israel, spoken by over 9 million people worldwide, of whom over 5 million are in Israel.

Historically, it is regarded as the language of the Israelites and their ancestors, although the language was not referred to by the name Hebrew in the Tanakh.

The earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date from the 10th century BCE.

Hebrew belongs to the West Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family.

Hebrew is the only living Canaanite language left, and the only truly successful example of a revived dead language.

Greek (Modern Greek, elliniká, "Greek", ellinikí glóssa, "Greek language") is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece and other parts of the Eastern Mediterranean.

It has the longest documented history of any living language, spanning 34 centuries of written records.

Its writing system has been the Greek alphabet for the major part of its history; other systems, such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary, were used previously.

The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, Coptic, Gothic and many other writing systems.

Exegesis (from the Greek from, "to lead out") is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, particularly a religious text.

Traditionally the term was used primarily for work with the Bible; however, in modern usage "biblical exegesis" is used for greater specificity to distinguish it from any other broader critical text explanation.
