Do you want to look at the Bible in its original language, translated in front of you? Perhaps you want a bible dictionary, maps, compendiums, encyclopedias and more. That section offers tools helpful for studying God’s word.
Commentaries offer teachers' wisdom and insight regarding understanding on the Bible as you read it. It's like having your own personal study partner right beside you. (See “Digital Libraries” to find more commentaries through other online databases).

Class One Libraries: Public Library Affiliated
Many libraries, including West Lafayette Public Library (WLPL), have two online library catalogs called Libby and Hoopla. A host of books Christian books, edifying for our faith, can be checked out on both softwares available in website and app form. To access them you need a library card from a library which has paid to use these apps. First, check if your home library has access to them. If not, you can easily acquire a WLPL library card. Arrive to the library with Photo ID (student ID accepted) and proof of residency (for instance your Rental Agreement or Purdue Housing Portal). Then, sign up for an account with both resources.
Class Two Libraries: Free Online Christian Libraries
The Christian Worldview Digital Christian Library Catalog should be your first research stop when it comes to free online Christian digital libraries. It is the most comprehensive compilation Purdue for Christ has available, a library of libraries with a plethora of free Christian books and writings. The remaining libraries appear to be missing from the list. With their addition, this section is considerably thorough.

These are the writings of early church fathers and thinkers. They do not always agree with each other, and their writings are not scripture. However, they can give us insights into early Christian beliefs and we can benefit from their wisdom and commentary the way we can from any teachers.
