Again, if original language exegesis is what you’re after, this program comes in at the best price point among its competitors. Though it takes a little time to learn the shortcuts to searching, I enjoy being able to type a search string, press enter/return, and see my results.Īnother major strength is the price. The new extra analysis window option makes this even better. For example, most of the time I have one analysis window dedicated to lexical information, so HALOT is showing me Hebrew information and BDAG the Greek, instantly.

(1) I nstant analysis: By simply moving the cursor I can see so much data related to the text. I have mentioned many, but let me add two major strengths of BW9. These are truly great resources, however. The seven NT manuscripts, as mentioned previously, will take over 7 GB, so if you don’t need them, significant space can be saved this way. I also chose not to install BibleWorks maps, though I would recommend most users do this as it is a nice resource. I also saved space by not installing the Matthew Henry Commentary and the Moody Bible Atlas (simply because I do not need these). I chose the custom install option and opted not to install most of the Bible versions. The entire program, with all of its texts and databases, is 15.6 GB +. I also like having an email with my codes for future reference. When you install, simply copy codes, one by one, from the email and click on the code entry box in the installation.

Shortly after purchasing, you will also receive your activation codes via email which is a great time saver. Now, when you purchase a product, you will be sent the physical DVDs required for installation, along with the relevant activations codes for your order (e.g., if you purchased BDAG, you simply need the code to install it from the BW9 DVD). Purchasing and InstallationĪs I said, I have used BibleWorks for nearly 10 years, and I have always found their customer support very good. I want to wrap up my BibleWorks 9 review and fill in a few gaps that my previous posts have left.
