Online Bible

The Bible is considered the foundational collection of documents for the Christian faith. Online versions of the Bible are available from many websites. Most sites have multiple versions available, allowing for some comparisons between versions. Online Bibles also allow the user to search for content based on specific key words or phrases in each particular Bible version.
