The newest version, BibleWorks 10, has recently been released, so it seems like a good time to update my review.My advice If you are a pastor, a professor, or a college or seminary student who is regularly studying and working with the original languages, you cannot afford not to own BW.If your time is valuable, it will pay for itself within a few weeks.When I switched to a Mac, I had to use separate software (in my case Parallels Desktop) that enabled me to run BW on my Mac.
It wasnt ideal, and one of complaints in the earlier review was that BW was not available for Mac users. Thankfully, the software designers heard the complaints, and beginning with BW9, the software could be run directly on a Mac without the separate software. It is now shipped on a USB flash drive, making installation a breeze. For example, if you place the cursor over any Greek word in the NT text, you will immediately see the root form and the full parsing. It will also take you directly to the entry for that word in all of your lexicons. There is far more instantly accessible information available through this one simple act of moving the cursor than I can fit in one review. ![]() As far as I can tell, I have still only scratched the surface of the possibilities in the 13 years I have used the software. ![]() Sometimes it is easy to forget what a particular button does. Place the cursor over the mystery button and press the F1 button (If you have a Mac, press fn F1). ![]() Among the most important are the high-resolution images of the Leningrad Codex. This allows BW users to look at the manuscript behind the Biblia Hebraica Stuggartensia. The text is tagged, so when you move the cursor over your text, the corresponding section of the manuscript is automatically displayed. Bibleworks 10 Upgrade Already KnowThose who are considering an upgrade already know that it is worth every penny. For those considering BibleWorks for the first time, whether you should purchase it or not really depends on what you are looking for in your Bible Study software. If you are looking for tools that will help with the study of the text in the original languages, BW is hands down the best option. If you know a pastor or a student of the original languages, you need to let them know about BibleWorks.
