Wayfold: Understand the Bible

Bible study you can lead: read a chapter, answer the questions, and see the exact verse that proves each answer. Start free with Ruth and Jonah, including their printable small-group leader guides.

Made for personal study, Bible study groups and small-group leaders who want to follow the text closely: what happens, in what order, where, and which words prove it.

STUDY A BOOK, CHAPTER BY CHAPTER
Six study books, 21 chapters: Ruth and Jonah free; Philippians, James, Habakkuk and Philemon with Premium Lifetime.
• Read the full chapter in the World English Bible, or have it read aloud
• Answer a few questions about what happened, then see the exact words in the chapter that answer each one
• Trace: put the chapter's main events in order, each tied to the verse where it happens
• Find the verse: you get a prompt, then tap the line in the chapter that answers it
• Go deeper: short notes on history, language and meaning, each marked as what the text says, history, interpretation or debated
• Write a notebook entry for every chapter, and export your notebook

LEAD A SMALL GROUP
• Printable leader guides (PDF) for a single chapter or a whole book
• Each session has an introduction, the outline in order, questions with an answer key and verses, a background note, the places named and a reflection question
• Print, save to Files, AirDrop or email them. The Ruth and Jonah guides are free

A BIBLE MAP FOR EVERY CHAPTER
• 774 of the Bible's 1,189 chapters mention a place, and Wayfold shows those places on a map
• Open a chapter in the reader to see the places it mentions; open a place to see every chapter that mentions it
• 64 key places on Apple Maps, each labeled with how sure scholars are of the location: well established, likely, debated, uncertain or unknown (map tiles need a connection)
• 10 journeys to step through stop by stop, including Abraham, the Exodus, Ruth and Naomi, David, Elijah, Jonah, the life of Jesus and Paul's travels to Rome
• A Bible timeline of 27 events, each marked as a firm date, approximate, traditional or debated, or undated

BACKGROUND, WHEN YOU NEED IT
• 63 short background lessons on people, places and covenants, from Creation to the early Church
• 60 connections between passages written centuries apart, revealed inside the lessons
• 113 plain-English notes on words like covenant, tabernacle and Son of Man, tappable inside the reader
• 93 people with their passages and the journeys they took

HONEST BY DESIGN
• Scripture is quoted word for word, never paraphrased
• Every explanation is labeled: In the text, History, Interpretation, Traditions differ, or Debated
• Sources named for history and language notes
• Protestant (66 books) and Catholic (73 books) Bibles both included; choose yours
• Nothing is generated while you use it; every quotation is checked against the bundled Bible text
