Great Software

August 27, 2007 at 3:40 pm (Books (reviews and recommendations))

This is the best Bible software on the market. Yes, it’s pricey. However, there is practically nothing that it cannot do. And some of the add ons (such as EDNT and KB complete) are terrific, as well. Then there’s journals. This, this, this, this, and this are wonderful sources, since journals are extremely difficult to find elsewhere. You can get all of Calvin’s major works (and most of his minor works as well) for cheap here.

    Oh, sir, I must respectfully disagree. Logos makes the most powerful Bible software on the planet. I’ve used it with great joy for well over a decade. It, too, is pricey, but well worth it. I have the Original Languages Library plus have accumulated a huge collection of other references for it over time.

    I had a link but it didn’t work. I’ll try again: Logos Bible Software.

    I cast my vote for Bibleworks 7. It is awesome and besides all the regular stuff that is available, things like Calvin’s commentaries are available for use in Bibleworks too.

    Logos Gold is $1400 while BibleWorks 7 is only $400. Easy Choice For Me.

    BTW, I’ve got an older version of Ages’ Calvin Collection and can vouch for its quality. I also have several other CD’s of theirs, including a Reformation Library. I’ve been very happy with Ages products. Based on pdf format, they work on any operating system that reads that format, which is all the major ones.

    There, dear sir, something upon which we can agree!

    Benjamin,

    The Logos Original Languages Library would be a closer equivalent to BibleWorks 7 as best I can tell. It only sells for $419.95, so they are very closely priced.

    Logos Scholars is really all you need. It is $620. The programs are different enough that the serious Bible student should try and save up for both.

    No Quickverse love? I’ve had that since version 2. I got version 6 deluxe real cheap at ebay and was able to upgrade from that since. I haven’t upgraded from 2005 yet though.

    scripturetruth.com has Ages titles for $12.95, including the one by Calvin you mentioned.

    Have to agree with Fred – a place for both. Have Bibleworks 4 for original language work and Logos 3 Leaders pack for general library. Also some Ages titles. Will buy Bibleworks 8, whenever it comes out.
