More online tools for Scripture study.  Some prefer this online program to Bible Study Tools.  Both offer similar aids to study; however, this site tends to be a little more friendly to novices at study.  It does not offer Greek and Hebrew studies.  The only Catholic Bible listed for searching is the Knox Bible.

*Bible Study Tools:
http://www.biblestudytools.com

Over 39 translations of the Bible to choose from.  You can search for a particular passage, for a theme (forgiveness, grace).  Also available are: Concordances, Bible dictionaries, Biblical encyclopedias, historical records, a parallel Bible, and Hebrew and Greek Interlinear and lexicons.  You can highlight, bookmark, make and save notes, and share your findings.

Crossroads Initiative:
http://www.crossroadsinitiative.com/library_category/38/catholic_bible_study.html

Includes links to many tools for Scripture study.  At the bottom of the page is a long list of themes dealing with Scripture that you can select.  Some are from ancient sources while others are written by current scholars.

Lectionary online – Readings for the Holy Mass

* = Not a Catholic source.  These sources have valuable tools, but will usually not include the deuterocanonical books.  They are reliable for searching Scripture, but the commentaries will most likely lack a deeper meaning of Scripture when the passage deals with the theology of the Sacraments, Mary, the Church, and any other traditional Catholic teaching that has been dropped by non-Catholics.
