Having chosen the translations you are going to use, you will want to be aware of additional study resources.

Again we start at Bible Gateway.  This time click on Additional Resources at the homepage to find the resources.  The Dictionaries and Commentaries sections are most helpful and the IVP commentaries on the New Testament are generally very good.  The Matthew Henry Commentaries are older, but reliable.

The publishers of the NIV Study Bible have made their introductions to the books of the Bible available.  Solid evangelical scholarship.  You may want to poke around this site for other resources, as well.  Note the topics on the navigation bar to the right. 

I like the ESV Study Bible very much. You must pay for full access, but they offer a sample on line, and if you are thinking of purchasing a new study Bible, I would recommend that you consider the ESV.

Another great resource is found at BibleStudyTools.com.  There is a lot here.  Spend some time exploring the site. 

Blue Letter Bible has much to offer and should be explored. 

Here’s a site that seems kind of clunky, but, again, is worth exploring.  Note the Study Resources section on the right side navigation bar. 

This site is not graphically friendly, but has some good basic resources – dictionaries, concordances, an interlinear, a nice atlas section and more.

Lastly, you will sometimes want to know a little about the original languages.  It order of usefulness, I’d recommend: Greek & Hebrew Reader's Bible; GreekBibleStudy.org (requires free registration); GreekBible.com; and the Bible lexicon linked from Biblos.com
