This posting is designed to answer some of the Frequently Asked Questions that people ask concerning Bible software for computers. This FAQ also contains information about specific programs. Please distribute this FAQ as widely as possible. Additions, revisions and deletions to this FAQ should be sent to me at:
I ask your patience and forgiveness if any information is incomplete or inaccurate. This FAQ is designed to talk about electronic Bibles and other software that would be helpful in studying the Bible. This FAQ concentrates on tools, not on specific Bible studies that people may have done and transcribed into electronic form. It also does not list software such as screen savers, church membership tracking, clip art, etc.
Please note that prices constantly change! The prices listed are to give you some idea about the relative prices of these packages. Information on prices has been obtained from catalogs and advertisments. Often, publishers will have sales and special prices. You MUST contact the publishers for the exact current prices. Concerning exact feature lists and exactly what features might be available in a particular package, you should again consult the publishers. Unfortunately, many ads are relatively uninformative. IN ALL CASES, CONTACT THE PUBLISHERS BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS AND PURCHASES. THIS ESPECIALLY APPLIES TO THE PRICES!
I welcome literature directly from publishers. This would make it much easier for me to keep this list up to date.
Answers:
*****************************************************************
Q1) Are the NIV, NKJV or NASB translations available on The Internet?
Q2) Why would I use an electronic Bible instead of a paper Bible?
Often, one will hear people half-jokingly saying that with the Bible on computer, you won't need the Holy Spirit anymore. This is true, if flipping pages in a Bible is somehow a spiritual exercise. Personally I find reading my Bible to be a greater spiritual exercise than flipping pages.
Q3) What programs are available for IBM PC's and compatibles?
