Anoint Your Computer

Last night, I received the most amazing Christmas gift I have ever had. My sister got it for me. I have to tell you about it. It’s called PC Study Bible,and it’s made by a company called Biblesoft.
This is a gigantic program. I can’t even describe the amount of information it contains. Name a version of the Bible; it’s probably in there. It has maps. It has Strong’s concordance. Hebrew. Greek. Commentaries. Hyperlinks. You can create your own commentary as you go, verse by verse.
I stayed up late last night, entering my thoughts on Psalms I had memorized. I think I’m up to a dozen now. Let’s see; 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 23, 34, 37, 41, 63, 101, 141…I believe that’s all. When you type commentary and you mention other Bible passages, the software creates links to them, so you can click and bring them up instantly.
If you’re a Bible student, you need this program. I have never seen anything like it.
I don’t see a lot of Jewish content in there; that’s a shame. Maybe it can be added. A Jewish version of this would probably be fantastic for rabbis. I haven’t checked to see if the program is Catholic-compatible, but it probably is.
The Bible says “Depart from evil and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.” That’s exactly what my sister and I did. This program is an unexpected and astounding peace dividend.

There is a wealth of PC assisted bible study software out there. I don’t have that particular program, but have heard good things about it.

I notice that there are a number of levels (Discovery, New, Plus, Complete, Advanced). Where did you come in at? and congrats.

This one is “Complete.” I think the one above that is for total freaks.

Psalm 50/51 should be your next. We all need to learn the “I am scum” psalm as my son calls it.

If you need another reference, try http://www.mechon-mamre.org/ they have the Hebrew Bible (Tana”kh) and the RaMBaM’s Complete Restatement of the Oral Law (Mishneh Torah)
It’s all in Hebrew and English, some is even in French. Most is in downloadable format. All is searchable.
I use the site to help the kids with their homework.

It looks like the Complete Jewish Bible (Dr. David Stern) can be purchased as an add-on to the software.
