Ask about a passage and get an answer built only from retrieved text and commentary
Elior is a Bible study app whose AI answers pull the passage, Hebrew and Greek word data, and public-domain commentary (Matthew Henry, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, Adam Clarke, John Gill, Keil-Delitzsch) from its database and cite each claim. It says it never quotes verse text from the model's memory, and contested questions are answered with the range of views. Pastor use: tap each citation and check it against the commentator's own words.
Our rule: AI helps with study, research and admin. The pastor still studies, verifies and writes the sermon.

Compare the Hebrew and Greek Old Testament word by word with an open textual-criticism tool
BibCrit is an open-source (Apache 2.0) web app for AI-assisted biblical textual criticism. Tools include an MT/LXX divergence analyzer, a back-translation workbench that reconstructs the probable Hebrew behind a Septuagint passage, an NT-use-of-OT analyzer, comparison of ancient witnesses such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and Samaritan Pentateuch, and tracing of how Church Fathers cited a passage. Its methodology note says results are AI-generated and should be cross-checked against the BHS critical apparatus and the Göttingen LXX. Pastor use: see where the Hebrew and Greek texts differ before you lean on a reading, then verify it in a critical edition.

Google's Expert Intelligence lets you add select ebooks you've purchased from Google Play Books to a Gemini Notebook as sources, so you can ask questions and get responses grounded directly in that book, and combine it with your own notes. If a book is eligible, Gemini Notebook is listed under the Tools badge on its Play Books page. In a shared notebook, collaborators must own their own copy. Pastor use: if a book on your study list is eligible, question it beside your notes and check each cited passage.

In Logos v54 you can enter a topic in plain language and Logos builds a Scripture reading plan of up to 31 days with a title and passage for each session. Preview it, ask for changes (more sessions or a narrower focus), then commit. Non-subscribers get one free topical plan of up to seven sessions per month. Use it to find passages on a topic, then read and study them yourself; it is a reading plan, not sermon content.
