What would be your recommendation for a basic Christian library?

[JesusFan]

For those either just now saved, or else desiring to grow now in their understanding and knowledge of the Christian Faith?
I would say a good bible dictionary, Commentary, and a bible atlas to start, along with a good study bible

 

[Eternally Grateful]

if you can afford it Logos Bible has a great library of resources. They even as of lately made groups that may fit your church (I can;t remember if they have a baptist version now)

I have hundreds of resources that I can use in the blink of an eye. and they are interactive (i click on a word. I can see the greek word. Then with a link, I can access multiple greek sources to help me study that word. Same with commentaries.. I can take a passage and see multiple commentaries. I can even put them side to side.

Expensive but well worth it

I had bought the ole Gramcord for my greek studies but that went by by effective windows 10

Now use Logos online thru Linux Mint, and just wished would have purchased bible Works before it also also went out of business

always heard though Accordance was best and easiest to use, but never did as was mac only, might try it now since on windows platform now also

Like using Logos for original languages studies , as pretty much all of my tools are hyper linked

We recommended inexpensive hands-on (print) books for new believers to enhance their understanding of the Bible, lands, words, doctrine. About $30 and that is amazing price.
