The programmer is from Greece, but he's not a member of the orthodox church. In fact he's a simple Christian that wants to serve the Lord in all simplicity.

I am going to try out both to determine which one that I like better. I am excited.

I downloaded this software being very skeptical. Dang!! This is very nice. It is worth hundreds of dollars retail.

The font options, layout, navigation are all excellent. It's easy to learn and use, and it gets better as one goes with it.

The text called Greek is a unique system of tagging to compare Stephenus, Scrivener, Von Soden, and the UBS's CT. The software upholds current scholarship that Von Soden and the UBS actually represent essentially a Byzantine and Alexandrine parent for text families, which is a delusion not supported by evidence, but the current status the academic geniuses pat themselves on the back about. But then, having such a format available is necessary for confronting popular delusion. Why this Greek text and the LXX don't have accents or punctuation is beyond me. ????

The parallel viewing is easy and nice. However, I most prefer to parallel view Scrivener to Nestle-Aland, which this sytem does not do. I can do it with Libronix, which costs $600 the last time I looked, but it is not an easy set up, and the software is klunky overall -- not for whimpy computers.

My Valuesoft Deluxe Bible Collection is nicer in that I can click on most words and go immediately to a variety of dictionaries and commentaries. It does not have nice Greek or Hebrew fonts. It has a nice parallel view, but not quite as easy as The Word.

The Word has no dictionaires or other helps. It has no morphology, and nothing interlinear. There is no Hebrew. But it has a great collection of Bibles in many languages, including a good assortment of English versions, and it is very nice to use.

I custom downloaded version 2.0. After I get another computer set up in the library, I may well try version 3.0 to see what is coming. I never tried E-Sword, but maybe, I'll go there next.

Hi M Paul,

you said:I really recommend the version 3.0. It's very stable. The reason that it's a Beta Version is because some parts are remainings of TW 2.0. TW3.0 IS MUCH BETTER THAN TW 2.0 - you'll love it.

For those who have Chinese or Arabic friends: There are different Bibles being supported now.

In Him who set us free,
C.
