William B Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi, I am looking for some advice, I know nothing about the Greek tools and inexperienced in the language jargon. What I am looking for is something that functions like word studies/pictures where on the split screen (ios) I could have that kind of information. I am looking for something rigorous and modern, what fits that bill? Thanks for any help! William. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanHuber Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It might be helpful if you clarified what benefit you hope to receive from such a tool because it looks to me like your requirements contradict themselves. A rigorous word study is not going to fit in half of an iOS screen. Plus, a good word study will take into account the multiple places where a word occurs in order to discuss its range of meanings, and would thus be organized by word (like a dictionary) not by reference (like a commentary).

William B Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Johnathan, I want something that can help me further understand the original language. I currently have the NIDNTT which is great but I'm looking for something more integrated than that, I'm quite happy to do a load of scrolling but I want something that can sit in the split screen. I use the NIDNTT if I need to explore in depth and I don't feel I need to add anything to that aspect as its a very good tool, but want something that sits in the split screen. Hope that makes sense.

Timothy Jenney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The problem with using the split screen is that it is intended for a parallel resources, like another Bible or a commentary. Dedicated word study tools are indexed alphabetically, so they don't scroll with the text. You'd need a commentary that includes a lot of good word studies in it. My "go to" for these kinds of commentaries is Eerdmans' NIGNT or UBS Translators' Handbooks (both for NT). In Accordance on a computer, users can have more than one zone open (zones scroll independently). That isn't [currently] possible on iOS. Sorry.
