Bible study hub
Get to know the Bible, verse by verse and word by word.
Coltiva is one place to study for memorising verses, the original languages and in-depth Bible study. Every study works with the same text, the same lexicons and the same schedule, so what you learn in one strengthens the others.

Genesis 1:1
בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ׃
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The studies
Six ways to go deeper
Start wherever you like. No study requires you to finish another first.
Memorise verses
Learn Bible verses by heart, reviewing each one just before you would forget it. Choose an existing set or put one together yourself.
Biblical Hebrew
From the alphabet and the vowel signs to the grammar, in lessons that have you reading Genesis straight away, until you read the Old Testament on your own.
Koine Greek
The alphabet, the marks and the grammar of the New Testament, with reading stages that begin at John 1.
Bible study
Studies in sessions, on your own or with your group, with questions on the text and a notebook for what you discover.
Inductive study
Observe, interpret, apply. Learn to question a text yourself, with exercises and a workbench for every book of the Bible.
Reading plans
Read through the Bible with a plan that keeps track of where you are and what you have read.
