A question primarily for Christians, but open to all. Do you use electronic Bible study software?
If so, which packages do you use?
I currently use two, e-Sword and Logos Library Systems. What features do you like (or not like) about the package you are using? Was pricing an issue? Do you feel that you gain a deeper understanding with Bible study software than you can get from paper Bibles and reference books?
Thanks in advance.
I am a student of Hebrew. I use E-Sword to compare the Scriptures . What I like about E-Sword is the Strong’s numbers are provided for easy cross referencing words between the languages . What I don’t like is that the Hebrew has no vowel markings and the Strong explanation only provide the Hebrew root words. I also use on-line Bible . It is great for looking up verses you know , but can not remember the exact script ref. By just typing in a few words you get it quick . They also have good and detailed Strong’s notes for both Hebrew and Greek. I have found the PC a great tool , but I still prefer to sit with my paper Bible in both Hebrew and English and read the scriptures . Quiet time seems much better the old fashion way. Basically I read the paper and only go to the PC when I need fast help or when quoting Scripture for YA. I love the Lord’s word and I do not want to misquote it in any way. The E-Sword version I use is free. The Online Bible version I use was a gift from my Pastor but I think it was around 50$ . I feel that understanding the Hebrew and Greek , gives me a better understanding of god’s word and so yes, The electronic study has definitely helped me in this regard. I have several Hebrew English lexicons , a Hebrew Bible and oodles of handwritten notes, but for sheer speed nothing tops the PC when you want a quick answer. Unfortunately you have to leave your easy chair next to the wood stove with your mug of coffee thereon. Kind of ruins the quiet time . God bless you as you continue in studying God’s word.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
