About Study Bible

Study Bible is a quiet place to read Scripture in context: find your place on the Bible timeline, explore a passage, and keep your study notes together. It helps you understand the Bible; it doesn’t preach. Your church and your own reading come first.

The Bible text

Study Bible uses the World English Bible (WEB), a modern English translation in the public domain, from eBible.org. The text is shown unaltered; “World English Bible” is a trademark of eBible.org, which asks only that changed text not be called by that name.

Cross-references

The “See also” list under each passage comes from OpenBible.info, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), and is ranked by readers’ votes.

The study companion

Explanations and look-ups are written by an OpenAI model from the World English Bible passage and its surrounding chapter. They aim to separate what the text says from historical background and interpretation, and to note where Christian traditions differ, but they can be wrong. See the terms of use.

Illustrations

The ink-and-wash illustrations above each chapter are made with AI and reviewed by a person before they appear. They don’t depict God or show Jesus’s face, and they avoid graphic violence.

The timeline

Eras describe the setting or subject of a passage, and dates are approximate. For a fuller history, see the Enter the Bible timeline.

Accessibility

Study Bible aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Everything can be used with a keyboard: a “Skip to main content” link comes first, the study companion’s tabs move with the arrow keys, and focus is always outlined. Pages work with screen readers and at up to 400% zoom, text meets the contrast guidelines, and motion is reduced if your device asks for it.

Highlighting and explaining a selection needs you to select text, which some devices make hard; the Look up tab and the questions box cover the same ground by typing. If anything gets in your way, please tell us at admin@studybible.uk and we’ll put it right.
