Treasury Scripture Knowledge
The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge was, and still is, a Bible reference work first published around 1830, created by the London publisher Samuel Bagster (1772-1851). It is a set of cross-references. That is, it consists entirely of a book-length listing of cross-references, showing only the chapter and verse citations with no accompanying text. About the size of a complete Bible, the TSK is also organized like a Bible, beginning at Genesis and ending at Revelation. Each verse of the Bible is cross-referenced to several others to enable the reader to gain a true sense of each word and phrase as it is used in the Bible.
- 800,000 cross-references, listing verses that illustrate how words and phrases are used elsewhere in the Bible.
- Helps the reader interpret Scripture with Scripture.
- Brief chapter summaries.
- Dates and other notes.
The original Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is one of the most valuable Bible reference works ever to be published. Unlike a typical commentary, the TSK consists primarily of scripture references with very little "comment." Of course, there are "illustrative notes" (as so described by the original publisher), which include book summaries, chapter outlines, short explanations, and alternate readings often found in the margins of the Authorized Bible. However, the TSK remains unique in that its primary purpose is to present the reader with copious cross-references so that the Bible student may allow Scripture to be illuminated by the whitest of lights: Scripture itself.

Full and detailed references. I only would have loved it if it were at the end of each verses and not necessarily going back to notes.
This awesome Bible tool is very handy now that they have it online. My assistant pastor Manny, now Pastor of Calvary Chapel El Monte, told me that the best commentary on the Bible is the Bible. It's so true, we have to back up Scripture with Scripture, to certify the the truth of God's word. Simple to use. Master of cross references starting with the first chapter and verse of Genesis to the last chapter and verse of Revelation with many cross references in each verse, from Gen 1:1 to Rev 22:21
This is one of the best bible study tools particularly its "commentary" feature 😊 (I like how you call it COMMENTARY). IMPROVEMENT: 1. Replace missing verses, e.g. Proverbs 5v17. 2. Reprogramming? The assumption is this: when a reader reads, say Prov. 5, a list of commentary (reference) that stands alone (7:8 or 24:2) must take the reader to Prov. 7:8 and Prov. 24:2 instead of what is currently happening. With such minor inconveniences fixed, you have one of the best Apps in the market.
I have some bible applications, but this seems to be my favorite at the moment because it makes reading and navigation easier for me as regards the references.
This app is very good Bible study because the Bible explain itself and the cross references are there just for that. It's the only reason I downloaded the app. Thank you for the great job.
The app is very efficient and I thank the developer very much. It's very easy to navigate to check cross references. It's very enriching with the knowledge of the word of God hence I gave it 5 stars.
I enjoy using this Bible as an aid to dig deeper into the meanings of passages that need further clarification. Comparing scripture with scripture is the best way for me.
This is an awesome app. At first l didn't know that it was o e scripture at a time. But when l realized it and saw that it has all the reference scriptures l was flooded. l love, love, love this app. It allows me to reference stuff l would not ha e done otherwise.
This app is so amazing it has helped me to break scriptures for me to understand. If you are an Evangelist, this is the right Bible study app which is simple to understand.
The app makes linking relevant and related scriptures very easy. It is easy and fun to use. I would recommend it to any serious bible student.
This is a very good study tool. It has scripture references for every verse. Touch the reference and it brings up the scripture. I love this bible study app.
This is even better than a hardback cross-reference bible, individual words are separated clearly for easy referencing. Well done!
Such an excellent book with a mighty treasury..all the cross-reference appeared here and.. YOU can come close to God by referring this app.. please share much more possible
delighted in this work...and I have been for years if any one has heard of "Sola Scriptures" understands immediately what I mean but to the new in Christ ,this book shows you how the scriptures interpret scriptures. Stick to it and you will be blessed of the Lord....
I have always resorted to my laptop to use this app until I found it on Google. Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 to the developer. Excellent for my study use.
Just installed it....checked it out briefly...and once I figured out how to just scroll to left and get to references I know it looks great. I'll update if isn't as I think it will be. Should be a great blessing in getting to know God's Word as He is pleased for us to do!🍃👑🍃 Thank you....I hope!😄

This is one of the best Bibles I've downloaded and used. It's e very effective and efficient.
As a màn of God, TSK cross reference bible is the best in all of the studing of the word. It is clearto use the app.
This is one of the very few bible apps that is truly good. No adds, not trying to sell me anything. This app is very powerful. Thank you!
Beautiful app ❤️ I love how easy it is to use, and the accuracy in the cross references.
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is Excellent Biblical app for easy search.
IT IS USER FRIENDLY, WORKS MUCH LIKE A SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR TSK I HAD IN THE PAST WHICH IS A PLUS FOR ME. A NICE FEATURE WOULD BE TO IMPORT DIFFERENT BIBLE TRANSLATIONS INTO THE APP. AS IT IS THOUGH IS USEFUL, SERVES THE PURPOSE
This is an invaluable book for every preacher desirous of learning and preaching illuminatingly.
Absolutely great in placing geographical context in biblical readings. Thankyou
Makes bible studying more easy, and enjoyable. Thanks for the app.
The best commentary of the Bible is the Bible itself. This app is indeed the best one for studying the Bible as it makes the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge even more easy to refer to for studying every verse. I have had the hard-bound Treasury of Scripture Knowledge for decades and would struggle to study the Bible with the aid of this monumental work but it involved referring to my KJV Bible and the Treasury, back and forth. This would take me considerable time and effort. Now it has become very simple due to this app and the best part is that I can carry it in my phone wherever I go! God bless you!
