With the Resource Guide open, you’ll see relevant commentary “hits” from commentaries in the split window.

The Bible Study App also keeps 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 study. 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 IVP Bible Background Commentary. You’ll save an enormous amount of time with this feature alone.
