This FAQ also contains information about specific programs. Please distribute this FAQ as widely as possible. It will be reposted at the beginning of each month. Additions, revisions and deletions to this FAQ should be sent to me at: ad873@freenet.carleton.ca I ask your patience and forgiveness if any information is incomplete or inaccurate. This FAQ is designed to talk about electronic Bibles and other software that would be helpful in studying the Bible. This FAQ concentrates on tools, not on specific Bible studies that people may have done and transcribed into electronic form. Please note that prices constantly change! The prices listed are to give you some idea about the relative prices of these packages. Information on prices has been obtained from catalogs and advertisments. Often, publishers will have sales and special prices. You MUST contact the publishers for the exact current prices. Concerning exact feature lists and exactly what features might be available in a particular package, you should again consult the publishers. Unfortunately, many ads are relatively uninformative. IN ALL CASES, CONTACT THE PUBLISHERS BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS AND PURCHASES. I welcome literature directly from publishers. This would make it much easier for me to keep this list up to date. - Shawn Abigail Changes to this FAQ: -------------------- No changes this month Questions: 1) Are the NIV, NKJV or NASB translations available on The Internet? 2) Why would I use an electronic Bible instead of a paper Bible? 3) What programs are available for IBM PC's and compatibles? 3.1) The Online Bible 6.12 3.2) God's Word for Windows 1.2 3.3) QuickVerse 2.0 3.4) PC Study Bible 3.5) WORDsearch 3.6) Thompson Chain HyperBible 3.7) BibleWorks for Windows 3.0 3.8) Bible Windows 3.0 3.9) BibleMaster 3.0 3.10) The Holy Scriptures 3.11) Verse Search 3.12) Logos 1.6 3.13) Bible Link 3.14) Findit 3.15) EveryWord 3.16) Gramcord Institute Research Bundle 4) What programs are available for the Mac? 4.1) Online Bible 2.5 4.2) macBIBLE 4.3) Thompson Chain HyperBible 4.4) BibleMaster 3.0 4.5) WORDSearch 2.0 4.6) Verse Search 4.7) acCordance 4.8) AnyText 5) What programs are available for UNIX? 5.1) Bible Retrieval System 5.2) UNIX Bible Server 5.3) Bibleref 2.3 6) What Bible software is available on CD-ROM? 6.1) Online Bible 6.2) CDWord 6.3) The New Bible Library 6.4) White Harvest Software 6.5) Master Search Bible - Starter Edition 6.6) ABS Reference Bible 7) What Bible software is available for the Amiga? 7.1) VerseWise 1.2 7.2) Amiga Bible Search 7.3) EasyScript Software 7.4) Electronic Word 8) What cross-platform Bible software is available? 8.1) EBaC 8.2) Bible Word Program 9) What fonts are available for Biblical languages? 9.1) WinGreek 1.9 9.2) Logos Fonts 10) What tools are available for Biblical language study? 10.1) GreekTools 10.2) Hebrew Tools 10.3) Greek Vocabulary? 10.4) MEMCARDS Biblical Greek Vocabulary Software, 2nd Edition 10.5) MEMCARDS Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary Software, 2nd Edition 10.6) MEMCARDS Biblical Greek Forms and Parsing Software 11) Where can I get more information about Bible software? 11.1) Christian Computing Magazine 11.2) Church Bytes 12) What sets of icons are available for MS-Windows? 12.1) Bibicon1 Answers: ***************************************************************** Q1) Are the NIV, NKJV or NASB translations available on The Internet? A1) These translations are copyrighted. They are only available in commercial Bible software programs that obtain permission and pay royalties to the various copyright holders. If you find one of these translations available on The Internet, you should be aware that it is very likely these files have been posted to the Net in violation of copyright law. ***************************************************************** Q2) Why would I use an electronic Bible instead of a paper Bible? A2) Most people who use eBibles also use paper Bibles. eBibles allow you to do studies that are almost impossible using a paper Bible and concordance. For example, if you wanted to find every reference to "Son of Man" using a normal concordance, it would take you a very long time because each of the words in this phrase are relatively common. Another study that would take a very long time is to find out how many times the name "Jesus" is used (not including "Jesus Christ", "Christ Jesus", "Lord Jesus" and "Lord Jesus Christ"). Often, one will hear people half-jokingly saying that with the Bible on computer, you won't need the Holy Spirit anymore. This is true, if flipping pages in a Bible is somehow a spiritual exercise. Personally I find reading my Bible to be a greater spiritual exercise than flipping pages. ***************************************************************** Q3) What programs are available for IBM PC's and compatibles.
