e-SWORD
Free Electronic Bible Software
Features
e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly. This combination is what I pursued, and as such there were decisions I had to make when implementing various features. If a feature became too complicated for anyone other than a software engineer to use, then I abandoned the design in favor of keeping things simple. The $500.00 software packages might be able to do more "things", but does the average user know how to take advantage of them? No! Below you'll find a list of features that you will discover makes the study of God's Word both enjoyable and enriching.
- All available Bibles, commentaries and dictionaries are readily viewed without having to "tile windows".
- Create your own "parallel Bible" with up to any four translations. Studying the Word of God and comparing passages have never been easier!
- Integrated editor for creating your own commentaries or study notes, complete with Spell Checking and a Thesaurus! Notes are "linked" to the Bible for easy viewing and can also be exported for portability.
- Comprehensive print capabilities, including print preview, allow you to create impressive Bible study handouts from the Study Notes Editor.
- Strong's definitions are displayed as ToolTips! Just place the mouse pointer over a Strong's number and the definition will then be displayed.
