The notes tab in the analysis window can be set up to load automatically individual verse or chapter notes. The program is designed to remove the hassle of continuously switching between different programs and opening new windows. It is also easy to set the search parameters to larger or narrower sections of Scripture or to search for phrases or more than one word at a time.īibleWorks 8 also has a helpful note-taking feature. 06 seconds (that is, six hundredths of a second) one learns that Luke used the word 104 times in his Gospel in a total of 96 verses. With just a few keyboard strokes, one can set the search limits to Luke’s Gospel, switch to the morphologically tagged Greek version, enter the search term, and in. Suppose the user wants to find out how many times Luke used the word kuvrio" in his Gospel. The concordance in BibleWorks 8 is much more powerful than any hard-copy concordance money can buy. This same function is available with Scripture references, and can also be done with the early church fathers, grammars, and wordbooks. That means no page-turning and no time wasted getting lexicons off the shelf. For example the user can look up that word in any of the installed lexicons. Whenever the cursor hovers over a word in the Greek or Hebrew texts, the analysis window displays resources that discuss that word.

The lexicons demonstrate one of the best features of the program, namely, the morphological tagging of the text and the linking to resources. BDAG and HALOT, the present gold standards for Greek and Hebrew lexical work, respectively, can be purchased together as an add-on module for an additional fee of $212, less than one would spend on hard copies.

Including English translations, there are over 190 Bibles in nearly 40 languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean, Swahili), 35 original language texts and morphology databases (e.g., BHS, Nestle-Aland 27), and 29 lexical-grammatical reference tools (e.g., LSJ abridged, Thayer, Louw-Nida, Moulton-Milligan, BDB). This is helpful for teaching and preaching purposes, in view of the fact that members of one’s congregation or Bible study often use multiple versions. The text comparison feature uses automatic highlighting to see where the selected versions differ. Users can parallel as many versions as the screen allows. BibleWorks 8 comes preinstalled with forty-one English translations.

The retail price is slightly higher than the starting price for other software packages, but it reflects company philosophy: BibleWorks puts more resources into their base program, with a higher starting cost, but minimizes as much as possible optional modules that require additional dollars. The program is exegetically targeted, focusing on the text of Scripture. BibleWorks, LLC, in existence since 1992, has recently released version 8 of their software.
