LOOK INSIDE

In the screenshot below, I have my Bible text open in the main window to Acts 19. As I scroll through the Resource Guide I can see all of my enhanced resources that have an entry pertaining to the current text that I’m reading. The Reformation Study Bible Notes has entries for commentaries, maps, outlines, and introductions. The numbers indicate how many entries are available for each enhanced resource.

WE’LL FIND THE NOTES FOR YOU

The Reformation Study Bible Notes shows six entries under the Commentary section for Acts 19:1-10. When I tap on the the notes, it then shows me a preview of those six entries.

COMMENTARY PREVIEWS

I can then click on any of those previews to read the full commentary. As I read on in the text, those entries will stay in sync with my passage no matter what translation I have open in the main window.  Any Scripture reference I see becomes a hyperlink that I can tap and read without having to leave my current Bible passage.

READ REFERENCED PASSAGES WITH EASE

Maps in the The Reformation Study Bible Notes can be found in two places in the Resource Guide.  First, under “Place” tap a location you are interested in.  I chose Ephesus in this case. After tapping Ephesus, all of the maps in the The Reformation Study Bible Notes tagged with that location will appear. You can then pinch and zoom the map for a larger view.

MAPS WITH JUST A TAP

The second place is under the “Maps” Section.  Tap the one you want, Tap the “two arrows” button, pinch and zoom for a larger view.

The Reformation Study Bible Notes also includes many theological articles also linked to the Bible text you are reading.  Under Topics, tap a subject you want to learn more about. I choose “Baptism” in this case.

ARTICLES ON IMPORTANT TOPICS

The Reformation Study Bible Notes also gives you book outlines, and book introductions. These are easy to access from the Resource Guide which pulls in entries based on where you’re reading in the main window.

QUICKLY SEE THE TRAJECTORY OF THE CHAPTER

The Reformation Study Bible Notes also includes 10 historical creeds, confessions, and catechisms.  To access them, open the notes in the main window or parallel tab. Make sure you’re in list view, and select Back Matter. There you will find the “Creeds, Confessions, and Catechisms.”
