I choose BibleWorks for several reasons, one being its gives me the ability to create BibleWorks modules. At the time I was working on a project that was attempting to put Ginsburghs Massorah into e-format.


Did you finish the project and is it now available somewhere? That would be a wonderful resource. :D

Hi, I too use Logos software but the newer version "Logos 4". I think it is very great and effective when conducting a bible study or doing research. The key to it is learning how to better use it and you will find out it is a good engine to start your studying. I also think that it wil never be able to replace the feeling of holding a book in your hands. This software becomes greatly useful if you always have to take the train and dont want to carry your big theological books. You could just get the Logos 4 app for the iphone. and read thousands of books. I recommend it!

Just thought I'd mention that anyone considering the Logos 4 software can save 25% off the list price by going to the Logos website through BeneSHOP. By going to BeneSHOP first you'll also help support bible.org and this forum because Logos will make a donation equal to 15-20% of the purchase price you pay. We can also shop at Amazon and a number of other online merchants through BeneSHOP and help support bible.org in the process (at no cost to us). All it takes is one extra mouse-click. I do it all the time. :D

I have both Logos and BibleWorks 6.
I like BibleWorks much better when doing exegesis. BibleWorks helps to streamline my study in the origional languages.

Devotionally I like the Logos system. It helps me to keep up with a daily prayer and the devotional readings aren't bad (there are several to choose from). Logos was a gift and the Scholars Edition is what I have. The books to download are as expensive as the hardcovers though they will give discounts if you order in packages. Studying with Logos is great for working on a passage and seeing what other authors have written on a subject or text. The word searches and studies are good too if one doesn't take them too far (which BTW is often the case).

Like Antipater I much prefer the hard copy book to read but the search engine is very nice and helps with in depth study. I think the hard copy books are soon to be a thing of the past!
I have a couple thinking of surrendering to missions. If they do I'm contemplating asking the church to purchase them a good laptop with the Logos software. I will purchase a book package for it as well from my own funds as a gift.
Just my input and I'm betting it's a bit too late!

Blessings,
Randy

Not too late at all, Randy. I'm sure this is something many will continue to consider, including me right now. I'm curious about how usable BibleWorks would be for someone who is semi-literate in Greek (2 yrs of instruction, much of which I've forgotten) and illiterate in Hebrew. I want to work on my language skills, but maybe I should do that before investing in a program like BibleWorks?

I really enjoy Esword very easy to use but much more basic than The Word, sometime back I had The Word and found it easy to get lost in. The other problem with The Word is back then it seemed to hijack some of my other programs which was a bit annoying.

However in saying this, I down loaded it again last night as noted that there have been some updates since I last used it. I had a play with it last night and was working fine, most of the free downloads seem to add clutter rather than be of much signiicant help. I do like the program and hope over time I may get more use to it.

Both Esword and The Word being free are excellent, some add ins are worth paying for such as the Amp bible and there is a theology download I am considering.

Currently still have Esword as the favourite, this maybe due to being more use to the program as was the first one I downloaded.

Blessings to all in Jesus name, let his word enrich your life amen

Gideon,
There are a number of grammars that are included with the latest Bibleworks program and they have included some of these as tools for learning the language. There are also vocabulary tools for memorization and quizzing yourself. I have found BW to be more than adequate in helping my original language studies to continue to be fruitful....though I must admit to spending far more time with books in hand and on the desk...I guess I'm just old-school that way... :)

The Logos team has done it again. You can know listen to the entire NT in Greek and if that id not enough the Hebrew is forth coming. In so far a rote memorization of the Greek and Hebrew the latest in teaching from the Logos http://www.logos.com/learn
They tout it as being learned at a third year level upon finishing

Is this just talk and are you willing to share? I'd certainly like to know where one can find Word Biblical Commentaries free!

Blessings,
Randy

Some interesting stuff on a search. I know nothing about this, can't vouch for the sites! so I'll leave the searching to you. :-) Don't know how "free" you can get it.
