The Bible software industry revolutionized our study of Scripture. There were many companies at first. Logos, Quickverse, PC Study Bible, Illumina, Bibleworks, then Wordsearch and E-sword. There are no doubt others I've missed. Gramcord was written to help scholars, that eventually morphed into Accordance When PDAs emerged (Personal Data Assistants) there was Laridian and Olive Tree for those devices. Over time, as the market changed and the internet became ubiquitous, Online searching became the standard for many. Bible Gateway became to Bible searching what Google became for everyone else. Then Youversion became the gold standard in the App world. There are 100s of places online to study the Bible, mostly with ads. Some popular ones today are Blue Letter Bible and Bible Hub. The software companies have kept up with digitizing Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and lexicons. Many now offer their products via online as well. My point is, the Bible is everywhere and you can search words and phrases much more efficiently than ever. We all have different preferences, This is the golden age of Bible study! Take advantage of it! Praise God!
