PC Study Bible Software
 
I've done this before but here we go again :happydance

I use Logos Library
https://www.logos.com/

I chose it because not only can you do exegetical studies it includes a LOT of books besides commentaries but also books on leadership, prayer meetings, weddings etc etc. It's an all around resource for ministry. But there are several upgrades. The Leadership one includes the ministry books and stuff. I started with Original languages and downgraded to leadership to add some commentaries and other resources.

Then I single purchased some books to add on.

If you want straight exegetical stuff Try BibleWorks

http://www.bibleworks.com/

Personally, if I had the money I'd get Bibleworks too. Their tablet app looks better than my Logos

Free stuff I use

Esword plus some premium content like Zodhaites wordstudy and the NET bible commentary (which is free for the older model now)

http://www.e-sword.net/

http://www.e-sword.net/wordstudy.html

I do a lot of concordance quick searches in esword and then Logos for deeper stuff

Logos is pretty cool and they have a newer version I have not upgraded too yet

But in mine you can click on "biblical places" and up pops a MAP. You can click on a linked location like Ephesus and get results from your library

And to be honest I still have not taken full advantage of this tool. It's pretty complex if you want to learn everything about Logos.

the first page opens up like a web portal with news updates from Logos, suggestions from the Library you own, sometimes even a free book of the month

The APP is ok and works with faithlife study bible now

You can make your own community with Faithlife and share stuff. Watch the Video here

Oh and never just buy Logos outright. By a lesser upgrade and make sure you surf the Net for a discount code first

Then upgrade at your convenience later

I wish I was more computer savvy and yet my daughter just graduated from college with a degree in graphic design and commercial art.

I've got logos 3 gold with 2000 resources but my search and cross reference isn't working. So I'm going to purchase logos 5 starter version and copy resources.

Youtube videos on Sermon prepping using Logos (shows how to use Logos)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UOI...endscreen&NR=1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMra...endscreen&NR=1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNt8hyvwnnY

ETC ETC...once you get used to using Logos it's not so "big"...One of my favorite books is the book on figures of speech found in the bible. It's an older book but really good.
