Bible Reader Free allows you to access the Bible quickly, change the view of the text to your own taste and display multiple passages simultaneously.

The built-in search facility will look up keywords across all, or select parts of the Bible.

What's New:
Startup splash screen now dismisses itself after 10 seconds.
[NEW] History palette added. It automatically maintains a list of the verses visited and allows for manually adding verses as well.
[ADD] History and Search palettes 'open at launch' preference added. Contents of History and Search palettes are now preserved when the palettes are hidden.
[CHG] Searches with Swaps have now been removed -- again. It's not possible with the current setup to search with Swaps on in any reasonable amount of time. It can give the impression that the application has locked up when it is in fact happily searching away. This feature will not be reactivated until a viable solution is found.
[FIX] Searches within Select Books was not working. After selecting the books and closing the window, the search would revert to searches on
[CHG] Simplified the Swap options where searches are involved. Now, whenever Swaps is activated in the Preferences, Swaps is also active in searches and search results
[NEW] Fonts menu in Preferences is now dynamic: you should see a list of all of your installed and activated fonts. If this font is not found when BRF is launched, Helvetica will be chosen as the default.
[FIX] Strong's drawer was causing terrible problems, particularly by forcing the window it was attached to to come to the front all of the time. This has now been fixed, along with some other changes that should make Strong's drawers much better than before.
[FIX] Changes to preferences, including Swaps changes, now updates already-open Browser windows.
[ADD] Underline style option in Notes.
[FIX] Using the File->Open option for a Note, then choosing Cancel would cause the Open dialog to keep reapearing. Closing an Untitled Note with the red dot, and saving it at the alert would leave Untitled in the Window menu.
[FIX] Darby and Strong's translation files both had some errors, both mostly in Psalms. New versions are available at www.hiddenfield.com.
[FIX] Nehamiah in the list of books should be NehEmiah...
