About Packages

Ready to purchase? Now comes the hard part -- choosing what's right for you from the wealth of materials Accordance offers. There are packages to suit everyone from seminary students and scholars to those who simply want to read the English Bible or teach at any level. These include over 30 CD-ROMs, and several groups of modules which can be unlocked by purchasing a code.

The Accordance program is included on every CD-ROM, and can also be downloaded for evaluation with the purchase of a code. If you purchase the program first, the price is credited towards the purchase of one of the primary collections below (except Compubiblia). If you purchase a CD-ROM, you do not need to pay separately for the program (unless the price of the CD is $20 or less, and you do not already own Accordance).

The program itself is of no use without the "modules," which are the text, tool, and other files which contain the data you want to study. The Modules section contains the details of every module we offer. These may be included in one or more "Packages" and/or available for purchase individually as "unlocks" on certain CD-ROMs or as downloads. You are welcome to explore all the modules in a specific category, such as Commentaries, to see the available range of items, but it can be confusing to work out how to order a bunch of specific modules.

Therefore we recommend that you start with one of our primary CD-ROM collections, then choose which Bibles, commentaries, and other tools you want to add to it. You can always add more later -- every CD-ROM and module is completely integrated into your Accordance program. This section presents the CD-ROMs we offer, as well as the module groups.

Most people should start with at least one of these "primary" collections:

	The Starter Collection is a free set of basic Bible study tools. It can be used with the downloaded Accordance program, or added to any installation of Accordance 6 or 7 to supplement the current modules.
	The Accordance Library is designed for studies using English texts and includes a broad variety of commentaries, dictionaries, and writings as well as basic tools for Bible study. It comes in three "levels," each with an additional choice of a modern Bible, and the option to upgrade at any time to a higher level.
	The Scholar's Collection offers unlocks of original language texts with complete grammatical and morphological tagging, as well as lexicons. Many Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac texts are available, often with English versions. The Core Bundle is intended for students, discounted 50% over the individual prices, and forms an excellent starting point.
	The Jewish Collection includes the Hebrew Bible with translations and study tools, and offers the Mishna at the higher levels. It comes in three "levels" with the option to upgrade or unlock additional modules.
	The Catholic Collection also comes in three "levels." It includes Catholic translations, basic study tools, and Catholic materials such as the Catechism and Vatican documents.
	Compubiblia para Mac is an older Spanish version of Accordance with a selection of Spanish Study Bibles and other modules.

Use the Packages menu or the links on the sidebar to see the details of the primary collections, or the full list of additional packages. For details of any package, click on its icon. You'll be given a description of the contents and a list of each module included in the package, or available for unlocking. An asterisk to the right means the module can only be ordered as part of a package, a price means it can be ordered individually as well as in a package.
