Berean Blue

A free Bible study app for three kinds of reader: someone new to the Bible, a pastor preparing a sermon, and a scholar working in Greek and Hebrew. It opens on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, and its code goes public under an open source license the same day.

Opens Tuesday, December 1, 2026

The Read desk in Berean Blue: Hebrews 12 in large serif type, the chapter list at the left, a card for this Sunday's sermon at a sample church, the Old Testament passages behind the chapter, and the reader's own note
The Read desk, open to Hebrews 12.

Three desks

One for reading, one for preparing a lesson or a sermon, and one for the Greek and Hebrew.

  • The Read desk

    Read

    The text, a reading plan and a short note where a verse is hard to follow, with nothing else on the screen.

  • The Study desk: the passage, a word study of the Greek verb for worship with a chart of where it appears, two translations side by side, cross-references, commentary from Calvin and Matthew Henry, and the pastor's outline

    Study

    Cross-references, word studies and classic commentaries such as Matthew Henry, John Calvin, John Wesley and Charles Spurgeon beside the passage, with your outline open next to them.

  • The Research desk: Hebrews 12:28 word by word in Greek with a gloss and parsing under each word, the lemma, and the Hebrew and Greek of the Old Testament verse Hebrews quotes

    Research

    The original languages, the Greek Old Testament that the New Testament writers often quoted, and one search across all of it.

On a phone

The same three desks fit a phone. Tap a verse to mark it, note it or study it, tap a word to see what it is and where else it appears, and ask a question to see the readings laid side by side, each with its source.

  • The Read desk on a phone, with a verse marked and the buttons to note, copy, share or study it
  • The Study desk on a phone: the Greek verb latreuōmen with its parsing, how many times it appears, and its lexicon entry
  • Ask on a phone: a question about one phrase in Hebrews 12:28, answered with two readings, each naming its source

More about Berean Blue

Bring the books you already own
Add your EPUB, PDF and Word files, even scanned pages. Berean Blue reads them and turns the verses they mention into links back to the passage, so your own library opens beside the text.
Ask a question and see the sources
Berean Blue answers from Scripture and the books on your shelf and shows where each point comes from. Connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or use the assistant built in. It does not write the sermon for you.
Send a finished study to Sunday
A pastor whose church uses Covenant OS, our church management software, can send an outline, its readings and the sermon notes for the bulletin into the plan for Sunday's service, and his private notes stay in Berean Blue.
Free, and open source
The app costs nothing. When it opens, its code will be public under an open source license, so anyone can read how it works, check it and build on it.

Berean Blue opens on December 1

Church Posting makes it. The name comes from Acts 17:11, where the people of Berea "examined the Scriptures every day" to see whether what the apostle Paul taught them was true. The Scripture on these screens is from the Berean Standard Bible, a translation in the public domain, and Berean Blue has no connection to that translation's publishers.
