Getting the Most Out of Your Bible Software

David Instone-Brewer—the Bible-tech genius at Tyndale House in Cambridge—has produced some very helpful posts on how to get the most out of these three Bible software platforms: BibleWorks, Logos, and Accordance. (The links take you to his posts, not to the commercial software sites.) [Update: note, though, that the review is of Logos 3, not 4.]

Here is one summary from him: “Logos packs in more books and BibleWorks gives you more for less money, but Accordance is easy to use and it has more scholarly Biblical texts than any other package—and it is beautiful.”

Here is the upshot of his recommendations on what to do if you don’t have Bible software yet: “My recommendation: Buy the cheaper USA version of SESB then try out the freebies. When you find that you can’t do what you want to do, find out which commercial package can do it.”
