The Mission
In Spirit and Truth exists to make Bible study accessible, organized, and meaningful; whether you’re opening Scripture for the first time or have studied it for decades.
The name comes from John 4:24:
I believe understanding God’s Word is essential to worshiping Him faithfully.
What You’ll Find Here
This site intends to provide chapter-by-chapter study guides for every book of the Bible, designed to meet you where you are.
Two Reading Levels
Each study is available in Standard and Simpler, so you can choose the depth that best fits your season of life.
Multiple Study Formats
For each chapter, you’ll find:
- Overview: Big-picture themes and flow of the chapter
- Theology: Key doctrinal truths and why they matter
- SWORD Method: A structured way to observe, interpret, and apply
- Deeper Insights: Historical context, word studies, and background
- Version Compare: Translation differences for key phrases
- Bible Text: The full chapter for reading and reference
Bible Translation
This site uses the World English Bible (WEB) translation. The WEB was chosen for two reasons:
- Literal accuracy: It closely follows the original Hebrew and Greek texts
- Public domain: It can be freely shared without copyright restrictions, making this resource possible
How the Content Is Created
Pages are produced with the help of advanced AI tools and then cross-checked using multiple AI models to catch mistakes and improve theological clarity. Even so, AI can still be wrong; so I treat this as a living project.
I also review the content on an ongoing basis. If you spot an error or have a well-supported correction from Scripture, you can submit it through the Contact page. If your point is valid, the content will be updated.
Content is written to be useful across historic Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions.
How to Use This Site
- Search: Look up a chapter, book, or topic (e.g., “Romans 4 theology” or “faith”)
- Browse: Start at Matthew 1 or jump to any chapter using the book navigator
- Customize: Toggle Standard/Simpler and adjust text size
- Navigate: Use previous/next arrows or the quick links at the bottom of each study
A Personal Note
This site is a labor of love; built to help you dig deeper into God’s Word and share that journey with others. It’s not meant to replace your church, your pastor, or your own prayer life. Think of it as a companion to support your study.
Scripture is the inspired Word of God and the standard by which this content should be tested. I encourage you to verify everything here against the Bible (included on all pages), discuss it with other believers, and seek wise counsel from your church.
