Bible Software
From Daniel Scott Mascione:
Mr. Moore,
I rarely take the time to send comments to an individual websiteregarding its contents, but I wanted to extend a personal thank you foryour summary of Bible software available forthe Mac. I have been searching for a information on theavailability of this kind of software and appreciate the time you havetaken to provide the great amount of information in one place that youhave. Again, thank you, keep up the good work.
Dan
Hi Dan,
Delighted to have been of service. One thing computersdo extremely well is to search and retrieve information. I find havingthis sort of software on my hard drive extremely useful.
Charles
Surprised...
From J.S. Oxendine:
Dear Charles,
The article on Bible software was unexpected only because I had notthought of Low End Mac as the sort of placewhere that information would be 'appreciated.' I hope that doesn'toffend anyone (if so, I'm sorry!), but the amount of informationprovided indicates that you spend some time in this areapersonally.
I was struck by the statement you made regarding the ASV, since veryfew people are aware of the integrity of that translation (and the factthat it has no major publisher). Your comparison with the KJV caused meto wonder why those two are your favorites (please describe what'traditionalist' means) and to ask if you have used the NKJV?
I have the distinct impression that you are a minister or Bibleclass teacher (if not, do not be embarrassed). Just some thoughts fromone who has written in the past, and found this column'refreshing'.
J.S. Oxendine
Hi,
No offense taken. ;-) Actually, several Low End Macwriters are serious Christians, so appreciate this sort ofsoftware.
Yes, I use the NKJV too. In fact, I have a copy righthere that I keep next to the computer. It's a good study translationand has been approved by the Eastern Orthodox Church as an Englishlanguage translation, which speaks well of its adherence to the Greek.However, I do love the majestic cadences of the KJV, which resonatethrough English language and culture.
Pc Study Bible For Mac
I ran across a copy of the ASV morocco bound withconcordance in a Bible bookstore in Charlottetown, Prince EdwardIsland, back in 1973, for $5, if I recall correctly. Still have it anduse it regularly. I find the 'Jehovah' usage a bit tiresome, butotherwise it's a good translation too.
I'm a layman, but I'm the moderator of the TTMBOForum,a pan-denominational email forum loosely themed on Christian unity butaddressing a wide variety of faith and doctrinal issues. We are halfwaythrough our fourth year and have members on five continents, includinglay people and clergy as well as a number of academics from over adozen denominations.

Thanks for the review. My wife and I were just discussing whether toinvest in Bible Study Software.
I was looking at the Accordance software, but a friend had alsorecommended the Online Bible. We currently have the Laridiansoftware on our Palm (Visor) devices.
Thanks again,

Bible Software on Mac
From Richard Gonzalez:
Charles,
I say your review of Mac Bible software on Low End Mac. Thanks - Iwas not familiar with several of the packages (I have used Online Biblefor several years). You may be interested in knowing that the author ofLaridian's 'MyBible' software (David Fedor) once worked at Apple on theNewton and was also responsible for producing 'The Message' Biblesoftware for Newton. I used it for several years on my Emate 300 (stillthe best note taking machine ever made - they should have marketed themto college students instead of elementary schools).
The Message is free and available at <http://www.thefedors.com/themessage/>.
Richard
Thanks, Richard,
I don't have a Newton or eMate, but perhaps there willbe some readers for whom this will be helpful information.

If you use a PC then I strongly recommend you get eSword, a more comprehensive review of eSword has now been written so please go here.
It is free bible study software including various translations (such as ESV, KJV but not NIV due to copyright issues). What is really great is the easy access to commentaries and dictionaries when you are reading any given verse. There is a wide variety of add-ons available (such as the dictionaries mentioned), and also lots of different languages supported. It is also simple to read different translations at the same time (up to 4).
Unfortunately the Mac version, MacSword, is not as easy to use or intuitive, but is still worth a look if you don’t have anything at all.
