Everything you need to study Scripture deeper — search, read, research, and build — all grounded in source data.
Step 1
Your first steps in Concordia
Create a free account from the Start Free button — you get basic Bible search, concordance, and limited AI research at no cost.
Use the sidebar (desktop) or bottom tab bar (mobile) to move between Dashboard, Bible, Search, Library, and AI Research.
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) on desktop to open the command palette and jump to any tool instantly.
Every research result cites its source. Look for the Sources & Evidence section and confidence labels (Verified, Strongly Supported, Interpretive, Disputed).
Step 2
Search everything from a single bar
Open Search and type a Bible reference (John 3:16), a Strong’s number (G26), a Greek or Hebrew word (agape, hesed), a person (David), a place (Jerusalem), a topic (covenant), or a natural-language question.
Results are grouped into tabs: Overview, Verses, Hebrew, Greek, Concordances, Cross Refs, Topics, People, Places, and AI Research.
The Overview tab summarizes the best matches across all resources; each tab shows counts so you know where results live.
No direct matches? Switch to the AI Research tab for a semantic, agent-driven search.
Step 3
Read Scripture and dig into a verse
Open Bible, tap the book button to pick a book, and use the chapter arrows to navigate.
Tap any verse to open the Verse Explorer panel with Overview, Original Language, Cross Refs, Context, and AI Study tabs.
Strong’s references and topics on a verse link straight into Word Study and Topics pages.
Pull to refresh on mobile to reload the chapter.
Step 4
Deep lexical research for Greek & Hebrew
Open Word Study and enter a Strong’s number (G26), a Greek word (agape), or a Hebrew word (hesed).
The entry card shows the lemma, transliteration, part of speech, occurrences, and root.
Tabs cover Overview (definition, semantic range, KJV gloss, related words), Analytics (occurrence charts), Concordance, Cross Refs, and Theology.
Every lexical claim links back to its Strong’s number and source dataset.
Step 5
Compare sources side-by-side
Open Concordance and search a word (grace, faith, love) to compare entries across Strong’s, Young’s, and Cruden’s.
Each result shows its source — Concordia preserves differences rather than merging into a false consensus.
Use this to see how different concordances number and categorize the same concept.
Step 6
Browse the knowledge base
Topics: explore doctrinal and thematic entries with key passages, Hebrew/Greek terms, and related topics.
People: profiles of biblical figures with family, events, key passages, themes, and timeline era.
Places: geographic profiles with modern identification, events, people, and historical significance.
Each detail page links to AI Research for a deeper, agent-driven study.
Step 7
See connections you might miss
Open Scripture Graph and pick an example (David or faith) to visualize relationships.
Click any node to see its connections and jump to search or AI Research.
The legend explains node types: person, place, book, theme, verse, Greek, Strong’s.
Step 8
One question, multiple agents, cited answers
Open AI Research and ask any biblical question (e.g. “Trace the theology of covenant from Genesis through Revelation”).
Choose a mode: Quick (fast), Study (balanced), Deep (full investigation), or Scholar (most thorough). Each mode costs credits.
Watch the agents work in parallel — Scripture, Greek, Hebrew, Concordance, Cross Refs, Context, Theology, Verification, and Synthesis.
The Synthesis Agent produces a structured report with an executive summary, original-language analysis, cross references, and a Sources & Evidence section.
Use the Copilot panel to ask follow-up questions about your current research.
Step 9
Turn research into teaching
Open Sermon, enter a passage and optional theme, and run research to get exegetical overview, word studies, cross references, and illustration directions.
When ready, generate a full sermon draft from the research.
Open Study Builder to convert the same passage into a structured Bible study for personal, small group, Sunday school, youth, devotional, or academic contexts.
Step 10
Save and organize your work
Open Library to create notebooks (study, sermon, collection, word study, or folder).
The Research History tab shows your past AI research sessions — click any to reopen the full report.
Saved Verses and Sermons tabs collect your bookmarked items.
Step 11
Choose your research tier
Free: basic Bible search, concordance, limited AI research, and basic cross-references.
Pro: semantic search, Greek & Hebrew tools, advanced word studies, unlimited notebooks, and exports.
Pastor: sermon workspace, sermon builder, and study builder.
Scholar: advanced morphology, concordance comparison, knowledge graph, and dataset-aware research.
AI research consumes credits; each mode shows its cost before you run it. Upgrade anytime from Plans.
