#BIBLE ANALYZER FOR WINDOWS UPGRADE#
The upgrade pricing was so outrageous that it did not seem reasonable to continue with them. I owned an early version of the Logos software when it was more affordable, but abandoned it when they switched technology for reading the books. You can get many Bible and book combinations with sets geared to Anglicans, Baptists, Lutherans, Pentecostal and Charismatic, Reformed, Seventh Day Adventists, and Catholics. Their Standard Package prices range from $295 for the basic software engine and a few books, up to $10,800 for a complete library. It is seemingly exhaustive but very pricey. There are many Bible study programs, but here I will assess the extremes. I had many hundreds of books on my shelves, but hundreds more on my computer that I could access much quicker. Others were very complex and allowed me to search verses, as well as books that were part of the program, for relevant information.
Some were very simple programs that allowed me to collect a variety of verses and compare them with each other. I have owned several kinds of Bible study software over the years. Christian writers want reliable biblical and theological resources, and most want them quickly. The web is always good for that, but there is such a wide range of material, much of it not theologically sound, that there is always some risk involved. However, almost all Christian writers are dealing with Christian concepts in one way or another, and they often need reference material to help them. The question is, what is the best Bible software geared to writers?Ĭhristian writers may not always be dealing with chapter and verse and may think their regular Bible, or a quick verse look-up using a site like Bible Gateway, will meet their needs. Does a Christian writer need Bible software? I think it is very useful for most, whether you are writing fiction or nonfiction.
