Thank you for your interest in the Bible Knowledge Commentary. In this help article, we will go through a few ways to use the Bible Knowledge Commentary to get the most out of your Bible study.
Open in the Main Window
One way to view the Bible Knowledge Commentary is in the main window. This option will allow you to navigate into the Table of Contents for the Bible Knowledge Commentary. To access the Table of Contents, simply tap on the navigation menu.
Select the Settings icon.
Select 'Use List Layout'.
This will reveal the Table of Contents.
Open in the Split Window
Another way to view the Bible Knowledge Commentary is in the split window. This option will allow you to have the commentary open side by side with your Bible text. First, open the split window by tapping the grey tab.
Select the split window menu icon in the upper left corner of the split window.
Tap the 'Open Library' option and select the Bible Knowledge Commentary.
Open in the Resource Guide
The last option is to open your preferred Bible translation in the main window and have the Resource Guide open in the split window. First, open the split window using the grey tab.
Next, tap on the split window menu icon in the upper left corner.
Tap the 'Resource Guide' option.
You’ll see relevant commentary “hits” from the Bible Knowledge Commentary in the Resource Guide that apply to the Bible text in the main window. Tap on the Bible Knowledge Commentary to see what the resource has to say about the Bible passage.
When you have a commentary open in the split window, the commentary will keep up with the Scripture passage you’re reading in the main window with sync scrolling. This means that as you move along in the Bible text, the commentary syncs to where you are in your Bible. No more flipping pages back and forth. No more holding the commentary text open on your desk in one spot, reading through your Bible text, and having to go back and find your place in the Bible Knowledge Commentary. You’ll save an enormous amount of time with this feature alone.
