Bible Student has been developed as a prototype in order to give you some indication of the amazing potential of using a PC to study the Bible and to unlock its treasures in a powerful new way. It is appropriate that computer technology should be employed for such a purpose at a time when the Church is in the process of rediscovering the centrality of God's Word to every aspect of life on planet Earth. _
It is not possible to acknowledge everyone who has contributed towards making this project possible. My own contribution is minute compared to that of all those who, through the centuries, have faithfully dedicated their lives to the glorious task of transcribing, translating and comparing the Holy Scriptures and to whom we are eternally indebted. @
However, I would like to gratefully acknowledge the following: î
  ■ The unknown person (or persons) who keyed in the entire text of the
    King James Version and made it available to the public domain.
w
  ■ Borland International, Inc. for their excellent software development
    tools Turbo Pascal 6.0 and Turbo Vision.
z
  ■ Richard Barns for the long hours he spent ß-testing Bible Student and
    the many helpful suggestions which ensued.
G
  ■ David Gibson for his initial encouragement and technical support.
q
  ■ Dr R J Rushdoony whose book "The Institutes of Biblical Law" has been
    a constant source of inspiration.
