Word study resources are resources that assist with the examination of the origin, definition, occurrences, and uses of a particular word, especially as the word relates to the context of a passage of Scripture. The purpose of using word study resources is to determine, as precisely as possible, what the Biblical writer meant when using a particular word or phrase.
 

This guide lists starting points for locating resources for Bible study. For more resources, please consult the Library's homepage or consult a reference librarian for assistance (423) 614-8562.
 

Concordances are indexes that indicate the locations in the text of the Bible where a word may be found.
