While I am tempted to treat BibleWorks as itself infinite, since only God is infinite, I recognize that there really is an end to what this software package can do. You can diagram your Greek pericopes (who doesn’t remember enjoying diagramming your Greek sentences in seminary?!). You can search for various constructions in the original languages. You can do instant analysis simply by pointing and clicking. You can do simple and complex searches of the resources. But the heart of BibleWorks is what it can do. Up till now I have given a sample list of the resources available. Additional reference works are available for purchase. In addition, included are the early church fathers, the Apocrypha, the Aramaic Targums, the Pseudepigrapha, and other reference works. You will also find audio forms of the complete Greek NT and various English versions.
But it makes analysis of and meditation on the Scriptures in the original languages much easier and therefore it will be much more likely that the busy pastor-theologian will retain his familiarity with the Hebrew and Greek he sweated over so much in seminary.īibleWorks contains multiple original language texts, numerous modern language versions of the Bible, lexicons, grammars, high resolution photos of original OT and NT manuscripts, Hebrew and Greek review tools, satellite maps (Bible atlases), a word processing editor which allows seamless typing in English, Hebrew, and Greek. BibleWorks does not replace firsthand knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. That is, if you are like me, you will be constantly amazed at the new and varied tasks you can perform in your effort to come to a better understanding of Scripture.
Its capabilities far outstrip the abilities of the average pastor-theologian. Enter the BibleWorks program.īibleWorks is an exceptional software package that puts at your fingertips a plethora of biblical studies tools. But some of us want to move beyond the reading of the Scriptural text to analyze it. We can call up classics like John Calvin’s Institutes on our desktops, notebooks, tablets, and phones. We can build whole libraries of the best in Reformed and broader Christian theological literature in a compact digital form easily and quickly accessible at the fingertip. Books are not only available in print but in electronic form as well.
We are embarrassed by a wealth of riches in this age in which we live.
