Hi everyone!
I happened upon this thread a few months ago and have been meaning to post. I am not a pastor but I am certainly interested in the latest bible study tools.
Has anyone here ever heard of/used e-Sword? I did not see it mentioned anywhere in this thread. My father in law uses it extensively. I am only beginning to familiarize myself with it but it seems promising. He loaded it on one of my laptops the last time I took it there. The link to the website is below.
Its a free program that from what I can tell was created for the good of the church. It is an actual download instead of a subscription. The basic program is free though there are many modules that can be added to it - some are free though some things (i.e. newer commentary sets) can be added for a fee. I can see things like A.T. Robertson’s Word Pictures, Mathew Henry’s commentary (complete or concise), Albert Barnes, and many other older resources for free.
I have a lot to learn about the program but I consider it to be very promising. I have not used logos or any other proprietary software for comparison, but the interface seems to be user friendly. Maybe someone on here can give it a shot. You might figure it out faster than I can!
Grace and peace to all…
