We at Accordance believe that our software is so much more than just a tool to study the Bible. It’s a means of community and creativity. We’ve created Workspace Wednesday because we want to give you a chance to show us your creative workflow in Accordance. Watch the video to find out how you can […]
Yesterday in my Sunday School class, I was teaching through Romans 8:31-39. In that passage, Paul reflects on whether anything can separate those who “love God and are called according to his purpose” (v. 28) from the “love of God that is in Christ Jesus” (v. 39). He does this by asking a series of […]
If you are interested in studying the Greek New Testament, but don’t quite consider yourself a Greek scholar, you may want to pick up The New Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the Greek New Testament (AKA “GNT Key” in Accordance) that was just released. This useful companion to the Greek New Testament is designed for students […]
In a previous post, I introduced you to the MT-LXX Parallel, a specialized Reference tool which offers a word-by-word comparison of the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint. In that post, I showed how to use the MERGE command to piggyback off a search of the tagged Hebrew Bible and tagged Greek Septuagint. This allowed […]
When you display the Hebrew Bible and Greek Septuagint in parallel panes of a Search tab, the parallel verses are displayed side-by-side, but it is not immediately apparent which Hebrew word a particular Greek word is translating. For example, in Genesis 1:1, the Greek word ouranon corresponds to the Hebrew word Shamaim. I can see […]
Not long ago I stumbled across a post on a Bible software forum that taught me a new word: “pangram.” I had to Google it to find out that a pangram is a sentence that includes every letter of the alphabet. A classic example is that odd sentence used to display all the characters of […]
We are excited to announce that we just released the 28th Edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament. The Nestle-Aland is the leading critical edition of the Greek New Testament used by scholars and seminary students all over the world. The 28th edition makes significant changes to the apparatus and uses the Editio Critica Maior as […]
Last week, I was busy exhibiting Accordance at the Gospel Coalition’s National Conference here in Orlando. During a few of the sessions, I stepped away from the booth to listen to the speakers. One of these was a panel discussion entitled “Did Jesus Preach the Gospel?” In it Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, Tim Keller, and […]
I remember diligently studying Greek paradigms one day in seminary when I asked my professor, “Is this how we’re going to be studying Greek after we graduate?” He just laughed and said, “Nah, you’ll be using Bible software.” How true. In reflecting on his words, I’ve also noticed an interesting trend now that I’ve been […]
My wife and I homeschool four of our five children. (At four, Jo Jo hasn’t begun formal schooling yet, although he seems to be learning more than all the rest of us combined.) To satisfy the older kids’ high school language requirement, I’ve been teaching the whole family Greek using Bill Mounce’s Basics of Biblical […]
