Simply owning biblical reference tools, such as concordances and commentaries, is sufficient to improve Bible study, even if a student never learns how to use them.

### Why this is right The source explicitly says that merely owning study tools will not help unless the student finds and uses those that serve the study. It recommends building a library gradually and learning each tool’s purpose. ### The concept A concordance locates words and references; a dictionary explains people, places, events, or terms; a commentary offers explanation; an atlas helps with geography. These resources answer different questions. Their value depends on informed use, and the source cautions that they should not displace direct reading of the Bible. ### Remember Choose a tool for a question it can answer, then return to the passage.
