I admit it. I'm spoiled. As an Accordance developer, I have every original language Bible and English Bible we offer—which is a lot. There are about four or five of them that I regularly open and use, but it's really nice to be able to access any of the others whenever I need them. If I ever find myself in a new setting where someone is reading from the Bible, I can usually figure out which translation they're reading from and use that. I can also compare it with the translations I use the most. If they're using a translation which we have tagged with Strong's numbers, I can hover over words (on my Mac) or long-press them (on my iPhone) to see the original Greek or Hebrew words they translate. And if the Bible they use happens to be one we don't have tagged with Strong's numbers, I simply open a parallel pane containing another Bible which has them. Like I said: spoiled.
If you would like to be just as spoiled as I am, February is your best chance to expand your library of Strong's-tagged English Bibles and grammatically-tagged Greek and Hebrew Bibles. With our current sale prices on these items, you can generally pick up three of these texts for what you would normally pay for two. Then you can be the spoiled person who says, "Sinaiticus you say? Let me just make sure!" ;-) CommentsJulie FallingFebruary 01, 2012 10:16 AM
Everyone who owns Accordance is spoiled. Thank you for all the resources you offer and for the increasing number of them. I am not a scholar, an academic, or a preacher. Accordance, however, makes it possible for me to not only get answers to my own questions, but also to have more to offer our Sunday school students. Thanks, thanks, thanks to all of you. (And thanks for the blog, too!) R. MansfieldFebruary 01, 2012 11:28 AM
Since ebooks have finally hit mainstream, occasionally I'll get a question, "Why should I buy a book in Bible software as opposed to getting it for [the Kindle/the Nook/etc.], especially when it's sometimes higher in Accordance?" There are LOTS of answers to this question, but a tagged text is the quickest way to demonstrate to someone the advantage of Bible software. This is the kind of functionality that I don't believe we'll ever see on the Kindle or other mainstream ebook platforms. |
