John Gill commentary on the bible


Matt Ātack

Recommended Posts

Could we please get John Gills commentary on the bible?  It is open source and widely available electronically on the internet just as Matthew Henry is but he offers a much richer perspective on a great many texts.  I look to his writing often and would love to be able to access it through Accordance!

With the 11.1 updates, is there a way to take a user tool and make import it as a commentary?  I have a user tool that is set up just like a commentary where the contents break down to each book, chapter and verse with all appropriate hyperlinks but I want it to 1.) scroll with the text and 2.) show up in the list of available commentaries on a particular passage along side my many paid modules.  Is there a way to do this?  That would solve the whole issue.  It would allow users to expand their libraries with open source content in a way that was fully integrated.  "The Word" (which is a free software) has this feature and its fantastic.  It's basically a module maker.

Are you aware Gill's commentary is available on Accordance Exchange?  Has most most Accordance features apart from scrolling with text...

As a step towards this you can now 'import' a user tool to a standard tool. This will allow you to highlight the text, take notes and search like a standard tool. It will also allow you to move them into your standard library. However at the moment for those that are set up as a commentary it does not include the facility to scroll along with a text.
