BibleSoft's PC Study bible and NA27 Greek Morphological NT

I have over the last month been using BibleSoft's PC Study bible version 5 which I bought at Christian Books and Music in Victoria. After installing it in my PC I not only began to realize some of the benefits of this program but also, after registering it, found out about and add-on that I thought would be very helpful. It is the NA27 Morphological Greek NT. If you go to their website you will see the promo page for this product.
When I did this, back in February 2009, I was so intrigued with the fact that it would pronounce the Greek New Testament for me, that I purchased the add-on. It arrived in early March and while I was most pleased with much of what it could do, I couldn't get it to pronounce the Greek NT that came with it. It would pronounce the root words of the words in the Scripture text I was studying, but not the form that I saw on the page.
I contacted technical support about this, and found out that yes, sadly, what the product was advertised as its audible capability, was not at this point of the program, able to do that [even though their webpage promo said it would]. Due to my concerns and pointing out of the misinformation on the page, the specs page of the add-on has in some parts now been changed so that potential customers are made aware of the fact that the product with give pronunciations but only of the lexical form lemma/root word and not of the exact scripture text. BibleSoft have taken steps to make descriptions of this product clear in lieu of my comments.
I also contacted the company's Direct Marketing Manager, Rick Krekel and was dealt with in a very helpful, professional, quickly responsive and Christian manner. My monies were returned and I was thanked for making the company aware that the program couldn't do what it was advertised as being able to do.In my communication with him, I said that I would review aspects of the version 5 program on this blog page and talk about the add-n.
I was emailed by Customer Service within hours of the most recent communications and shown that my monies had been returned.
Bouquets of roses and Kudos to BibleSoft and their staff for all their help.
As I mentioned to Rick, I look forward to receiving news of a new upgrade that will do, in terms of pronunciation what the product was originally advertised as being capable of doing.
When that happens and I am able to put the update on my computer, then I shall be doing a full review of BibleSoft's NA27 Morphological Greek NT. I anxiously await this development.

Can NETBibleTagger show the whole chapter?

Let's try the whole of John chapter 5 and see if the complete chapter will be shown. John 5: 1-47 It seems that the first 7 plus verses are shown and then you get the "Read more".

NETBibleTagger

Will this work now? Let's try John 5:47 Yes PTL it does. The bible text shows up bold in green and then a box let's anyone see the Scripture that is referenced.You can also read the whole thing from the NETBible by clicking "Read more". Then just click on the X box in the Scripture cited and you're back to just the blog. Fantastic

The Green Bible Harper Collins

Well, we have Bibles with the words of Jesus in red, and then the Jesus Seminar's colour-coded Gospels so why not, in this ecologically and environmentally sensitive time, have a Bible in which everything to do with God's concern for God's creation and God's care for the created order is indicated by the text being in green!!
The translation is the NRSV and the publisher is HarperCollins. The Scripture text is prefaced by several pertinent and important articles on the topic. If you want to see whats inside this edition of the Scriptures then click on the

Added Greek New Testament Daily Readings

I have now added the Resurgence Greek Project site www.zhubert.com to my blog and hope that it will give daily readings from the Greek New Testament on this site.This is the site by Zach Hubert and formerly accessed at a previous web page. Just put your mouse over the Scripture reference and click on it which will then hyperlink to the reading of the day!!

Bible Arc-ing

I have started using another magnificent program for studying and analyzing the Scriptures. It is based on the principles taught by Fuller Seminary's Emeritus Professor, Dr. Daniel Fuller and espoused by others such as Dr. John Piper. The website is http://www.biblearc.com/
Try it out, see what amazing things you can do and discover from the Bible passage you are studying, and then support Andy, the seminary student who designed the program that got this resource online! Thanks to Andy, we can all benefit from Professor Fuller's approach even if we didn't complete our Seminary Studies from Fuller Seminary!
If only ScriptureDirect [ http://www.scripturedirect.com referred to and linked in a previous entry on this blog] and BibleArc could combine their approaches into one program - wow would that make NT studies and exegesis rock [and roll]!

ESV Study Bible

Thankfully I received the other day a free copy of the ESV Study Bible from Crossway Books. I have begun looking at this wonderful Study Bible and will be using it in comparison of the,I think, equally wonderful NLT Study Bible referred to in an earlier posting on this blog. I have already purchased a leather edition of the ESV Study Bible which arrived on the same day as the hardback edition. future postings will include mind map comparisons of these two fantastic resources.
Here is the address for the ESV Study Bible that you can try using chapters from the Gospel of Matthew http://www.esvstudybible.org
