I like the bible search facilities and I have Semeia and Nag Hammadi Library in English, which means I can search both them easily, but I must admit that I don't use most of the tools because they don't seem useful enough for me to bother working out how to use them. They are designed for use by people who work differently with the text to the way I do. And I don't preach regularly. And most of the things I am offered by Logos come from a theological position that I don't find particularly helpful. And I hate reading books on the screen, so if I have something on screen I will tend to do keyword searches and find bits that are relevant, whereas in hard copy I am much more likely to work my way through the whole book and get an overview of what the author is trying to say. I will be interested to hear what you think of BibleWorks, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-57107373974869784682013-10-14T11:59:15.205-07:002013-10-14T11:59:15.205-07:00I'll also add that while students who use only...I'll also add that while students who use only Bible software will be less effective in the original languages, the software gives you many more resources at your fingertips, far faster, than simply availing hard copy books. (This is coming from somebody who *likes* hard copy, I might add.)

I've heard better things about Logos. Additionally, Logos has a large library of sources to go with it, including non-biblical texts.
