Note: this is not a paid advertisement or endorsement. This recommendation is purley on the personal experience and feedback of others who use this free software.
Here are just a few reasons why many Christians use the free Bible software e-Sword (www.e-sword.net) as a pc companion to study the Word of God:
1. Accessibility and Convenience: e-Sword provides easy access to the Bible and related study materials on various electronic devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. This convenience allows users to study the Bible and access resources wherever they are, without needing to carry physical books.
The Mobile Version is not free, but it is well priced for its worth. It is available here:
e-Sword — Bible Study for Android
e-Sword LT — Bible Study for the iPhone
e-Sword HD — Bible Study for the iPad
e-Sword X — Bible Study for the Mac
2. Wide Range of Resources: e-Sword offers a vast library of Bible translations, commentaries, dictionaries, concordances, and other study tools. Users can download and add these resources to their e-Sword software, expanding their study options and providing a comprehensive digital library for Bible study. While “most” are free, there are a few moden tools which can be added for purchase. Nevertheless, you will not be inundated with advertisements or upsells. They are simply available in the “downloads” section.
3. User-Friendly Interface: The e-Sword software has a user-friendly interface that makes it relatively easy to navigate and use. It provides features like search capabilities, highlighting, note-taking, and cross-referencing, making it convenient for users to conduct in-depth Bible study and research.
4. Cost-Effective: e-Sword offers a free version of its software with a wide range of basic resources. This makes it an affordable option for individuals and churches with limited budgets, as they can access a significant amount of study materials without the need to purchase physical books or expensive software.
5. Community and Support: e-Sword has a vibrant online community where users can connect, share resources, and discuss various biblical topics. This sense of community and the availability of support forums and resources can enhance the overall experience and provide opportunities for learning and growth.
BibleSupport.com — the largest archive of user-made e-Sword modules, resources and tools, and
eStudySource — the exclusive source for bestselling e-Sword Bibles, commentaries.
I have personally been using e-sword for 20+ years as my “source” for scripture, commentary, lexicon, etc. I praise the Lord for the vision of this project and Believe that God continues to bless it richly.
