Amazon.com Review

Ideal for seminary and serious lay students, PC Study Bible poses only one problem: it is so comprehensive, we can't tell you everything it does in this small space. With eight English-language translations, six Greek and Hebrew translations and references, commentaries galore, concordances, word studies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps, photos, and even a self-study guide with quiz--whew--you'll soon gain new appreciation for how varied the translations are--and how much it truly takes to understand the Bible.

Say you are interested in the concept of love. You can search for the term love by testament or by book, producing an "instant concordance" of any term. Click on the chapter and verse, and up comes the text in context. Don't like the Living Bible translation? Cycle through the other available translations with the click of a button, add your own notes, or cut and paste to your own documents.

Curious whether "love" in a verse was written as "agape" or another term? Pull up the interlinear Greek translation and find out--along with grammatical information, root derivation, and words with unknown or difficult translations. Various commentaries will let you research words, concepts, or verses in more detail. PC Study Bible also integrates with Microsoft Word 97, allowing you to build up your own reference work over time as well--and share study materials with other people who use PC Study Bible. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's what's included:

English Translations
King James, New King James, New International, New American Standard, NASB Update, The Living Bible, Revised Standard, American Standard

Greek and Hebrew Resources
Interlinear Bible, Brown Driver Briggs' Definitions, Thayer's Definitions, Greek and Hebrew texts (UBS and BHS), Strong's Greek-Hebrew Dictionary, Englishman's Greek-Hebrew Concordance

Dictionaries and Encyclopedias
Fausset's, Nelson's, New Unger's, International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

Cross-References, Commentaries, and Word Studies
Nave's Topical Bible, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Vincent's Word Studies in the NT, Robertson's Word Pictures in the NT, Keil and Delitzsch OT Commentary, Matthew Henry's Commentary, Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Barnes' Notes, Adam Clark's Commentary, Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary

Bible Helps
Personal notes, reading plan, outlines, maps, color photo collection One important caveat: the Douay Version and the Apocrypha are not included in this package. --Keali'i Hill

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great stuff, May 18, 2000

This review is from: PC Study Bible Complete Reference Library 3.0 (CD-ROM)

I love this software, and I love it for the capabilities it gives me. At the click of a button, I can see how the verse is translated in a number of translations.

The commentaries come from a variety of perspectives. If one author's view of Scripture doesn't match yours, another may be more to your liking.

But the feature that I think is worth the price of the software alone is its look at the meaning of the words in the original languages. I don't know a jot or tittle of Greek or Hebrew, but the Lexicons offer a tremendous explanation of what the words really meant when the author penned them. If you want the benefit of the original languages without the blood, sweat, and tears that would go into the learning of them, this software is for you.

This is an excellent Bible Study program. I work at a large church and we find this software invaluable. No other suite is this easy to use and contains this much reference material. It is easy and powerful for both the novice and the expert.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great bible study tool, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: PC Study Bible Complete Reference Library 3.0 (CD-ROM)

It is a great and complete Bible study tool.

It is especially helpful in examining any original Bible word using its Greek/Hebrew study tools which allows you to find all the same Greek/Hebrew words in the entire Bible.
