Resources: e-Sword Bible Study Software
Looking for Bible study software? E-Sword (www.e-sword.net) is a free, downloadable software program that lets you download different editions of the Bible (many of these also for free) and additional resources such as commentaries, dictionaries, devotions, Strong’s Concordance, study notes, and more. Probably the most useful feature is the very powerful search capability – search for words or phrases, partial matches, in the whole bible, the Old Testament, the New Testament, or a specific book of the Bible. You can also compare the different Bible versions you downloaded with a simple click.
E-Sword comes with the King James Version and King James with Strong’s. Other Bibles available for free download include the American Standard Version (ASV), Douay-Rheims, English Standard Version (my personal choice), Good News, International Standard Version, Modern King James Version, and Young’s Literal Translation. There are also Bibles in other languages from Afrikaans to Welsh (including Hebrew and Latin (the Vulgate).
Former ASF webmaster Jeri Woods has used e-Sword for years, and it really is free and very, very useful!
