Brenton's English Septuagint Now Available
The Septuagint is an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. It was a key factor in readability as Greek had become the common language by the time of Christ. At Blue Letter Bible, we have offered the Septuagint (LXX) for many years, which is regarded as the most credible Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Now, we are pleased to offer Brenton's English Septuagint (BES), an English translation of the Greek Septuagint.
Being able to offer an English rendering of the Septuagint is an amazing opportunity. In the preface of the BES, the writer makes a statement about the importance of the LXX:
"It is not only a translation of the Old Testament, but it is the Old Testament translated into the language of the New. Let it be remembered that the Gospel was in its aspect to the world a Hellenistic thing."
Why Provide Septuagint Resources?
At BLB, we recognize the usefulness of studying God's Word using the Greek Septuagint, especially in instances where a New Testament writer references the Greek Septuagint translation. Thus, the BES translation is just one more of the in-depth Septuagint tools that we offer. While checking out the BES, be sure to open up the Tools button, and take a look at the Septuagint tab with each Greek word and parsing.
Kress's New "Road Maps for the Gospel of John"
We have been blessed by a wonderful partnership with Kress Biblical Resources for several years. Previously, we have offered their Road Maps for the New Testament Epistles and Revelation. Now, we are very excited to provide the Road Maps for the Gospel of John.
This resource retains the layout from the previous Road Maps, being divided into three main sections: "Overview Outline," "Introductory Matters," and "Detailed Outline."
The "Overview Outline" includes a summary statement and a brief outline of the book.
The "Introductory Matters" examines the book's author, aim, and audience.
The "Detailed Outline" provides a comprehensive exegetical outline that walks you through each verse of each chapter.
The Gospel of John is one of the richest collections of the words and life of Christ in Scripture. It contains many unique dialogues with Christ and His disciples that are beautifully deep. This is all working towards the two-fold aim as outlined in the "Introductory Matters": (1) "to call for and cultivate genuine trust in Christ as Son of God and the Source of eternal life" and (2) "to reveal the glory of Jesus Christ as God incarnate and point to Him as the only Source of divine light and life."
We believe that this work provides a useful aid in helping you better understand God's intended truth as you walk through the Gospel of John, and we wish to thank our partners at Kress Biblical Resources for their continued partnership.

Several New International Translations Added to BLB Website!
Making God's Word available in as many languages as possible has been a key focus of Christians for centuries and is likewise a key focus of our mission and vision at Blue Letter Bible. For many years, we have offered several public domain Bible versions on the mobile apps that were not available on the website. We have been working diligently to bring these to the site, and are excited to announce the addition of these eight versions to our website:
- Bible in Basic English (BBE)
- Chinese Traditional Union (CHT)
- Español Moderno (EM)
- Korean Holy Bible (KOR)
- Louis Segond (LS; French)
- German Luther (LUT)
- Russian Synodal Translation (RST)
- Sagradas Escrituras (SE; Spanish)
It is always a tremendous blessing to add new languages to our library of tools and resources. Our call as Christians is to bring the gospel and God's Word to all nations of the world (
Gospel of John Teaching Series from Pastor Tony Clark
Last year, we were blessed to welcome Pastor Tony Clark to our library of content providers with his audio series through the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Now, we are excited to provide his audio series through the Gospel of John. This gospel is unique in its inclusion of certain accounts, such as Jesus’ miracle at the wedding of Cana, His discussion with Nicodemus, and the resurrection of Lazarus. It also offers several dissertations and sermons from Christ, many of which were given only to the apostles.
Pastor Tony had this to say about the gospel: “What I want people to take away from the Gospel of John is this. The Apostle John wrote with a purpose in mind that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And we can have eternal life in His name. I want the listeners to fall more in love with Jesus and realize that He is Who He claims to be—God in human flesh!” May we all desire to see Christ in Scripture as the God of the universe—not merely a wise, godly man.
You can start listening to this series on BLB, or check out all of Pastor Tony Clark's messages from his author page.
