Bible with an Electronic Edge

[Dustin]

Hi all,

I would like to share a tool that has been a tremendous help to me. It's a little program called e-Sword. Very simple to use and I highly recommend it.

Best of all it's completely free!

Check out the features here.

[Didymos Thomas]

Cool, thanks. I might have to download that tomorrow.

Looks like a splendid product. I may also end up downloading this. Thank you!

[Didymos Thomas]

I do have a question for you Dustin - does e-Sword have apocryphal literature, or some way to add apocryphal literature so that I can use all of those amazing features with my other scripture?

[Dustin]

Yes, it sure does. On the website under bible downloads there is the King James version with apocrypha.

The gnostic gospels of Thomas, Phillip, and Truth are available for download here as a topic file.

If there's a particular translation you have in mind just let me know which one and I'll link it. The software comes with the King James version installed but I know some people including myself would rather have some alternatives.

For translations you'd like that are not available, there is a tool that allows for creating your own bible modules.

[Didymos Thomas]

I'm not the most tech savy guy around, but I can't seem to get the gnostic gospels to work. Any clue about what I am doing wrong/not doing?

[Dustin]

Oh sorry about that, I forgot to mention... when you download the file (if you're using internet explorer) click "run" and paste

C:\Program Files\e-Sword

into where it says "destination folder" and click "install."

The program does take some getting used to, but they now have some really great video tutorials. I just love video! It's so helpful.
