The Blue Letter Bible Project is an initiative of Calvary Chapel members to create a Study Bible in both CD format and for the internet, primarily in support of the Calvary Chapel fellowship of churches. It was founded in November 1995. The Project supports 12 English Bible translations, Hebrew and the Septuagint for the Old Testament, and the Greek Textus Receptus and Westcott-Hort versions for the New Testament. Integrated study tools include Gesenius' Lexicon for the Old Testament, and Thayer's Lexicon for the New Testament, as well as English and Strong's Concordances for the entire Bible. Over 2000 Bible Commentaries are also present.

The Blue Letter Bible (BLB) Project has three ongoing initiatives as of November 2006:

* The BLB CD for gratis distribution to missionaries, pastors and students, with over 100,000 CDs distributed.
* The BLB website for online Bible study in an advertising-free environment. Over 3,500,000 hyperlink cross-references are present, and over 375,000 pages views are distributed (daily average 3rd quarter 2006).
* The BLB Institute for structured Biblical studies, under free registration, with over 28,000 registered students in 3rd quarter 2006.

The BLB Project is administered by the Sowing Circle ministry, which is a California 501(c)(3) Private Operating Foundation.
