Bible Question:
This so crazy! I thought I was asking a question that most would find unimportant...I have enjoyed so very much reading all these post on you guys' study habits. I must admit, as I said before, I do write notes in my Bible and I underline key words to a verse(sometimes highlight). I don't want my Bible to look like a coloring book though. If that is what works for some, who am I to judge? I would like to take the question a bit further and ask... What is the most valuable tool you use when you study NOT THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT THE MOST TREASURED AND VALUABLE...I am referring to concordances, dictionaries, commentarries, lexicons, etc. For example, I have an e-sword computer program I use daily it seems. It has ... a ton of resources! And there are some other favorites too, I am just curious what resouces you guys use. Cuddle |
Bible Answer: Hello Cuddle, I have multiple bible versions in print and a small library of books including study guides, commentaries, dictionaries, inspirational writings, workbooks and the list goes on. There is nothing like holding a book in my hand. Truth is though, the computer has proven to be the best tool for bible study that I use. Some people prefer and work better with paper and pencil/pen but I have had a difficult time keeping up with notebooks and binders filled with notes. I seem to move around a lot. I also use eSword and have for some time now. As you know it is a very good program and free. I have even purchased some add-ons for it. I also use WORDsearch7 and PC Study Bible. Three software libraries may sound excessive but actually each one has specific functions that makes it preferable over the others. I rarely do a study that I don't use at least two of my software libraries. I most often use the WORDsearch7 and if I had to choose only one program I wold stick with the WS7. Specifically, the WS7 interface is very clean, easy to use and will be familiar to any Windows user. It also has a fully functional word processor built in so there is no need for copying and pasting of notes in to Word or another WP. Documents created in Word can be moved to or copy and pasted into WS7 as WS7 documents can be copy and pasted into Word. I have been doing this for about a year and haven't yet had a problem with format changes when moving the docs from one program to the other.
