For the price difference, in my opinion, TW is just far better.ĮSword - excellent software for those with limited computer skills (and unfortunately, most of us don't know who we are!) or those who are studying the English text of the Bible.

For those wanting professional Bible study software with classic (and free.) public domain materials, TW is almost as good.

For those willing to pay full publication price for every module they download and need "Cadillac" software, this is it. Written/supported for those involved in academia who are either 1) wrapped up in snob appeal (which is rampant in academia, even amongst Christian colleges/universities) or 2) need access to the latest publications for academic writing/study. This really is only for "professional" study.
Logos/Libronix - excellent software but you'll pay through the nose for it.
There's really no reason to use it eSword is a better program. OLB - nice folks but their module integration is not very good, and their module library is not very big. Here's my take on these 4 software programs: I get to be a "double blessing" in module distribution. Although I no longer use eSword, I still build modules for it because conversion is so easy. I now only use it like an "app" when creating modules for distribution. By January of 2012, I had abandoned eSword. In the Fall of 2011, I started serious experimentation with TW. I opted to make the "mental investment" to eSword, and never regretted it (not going to Logos). It was excellent but it's costs were prohibitive. During that time I examined Logos/Libronix with a sample pack purchased at Sam's. I then exclusively used eSword for about 5 years. But I had very few extra resources with it - and they were all "book" style (no commentary/dictionary modules like we understand today). I used Online Bible for DOS exclusively from ca. Maybe other people had better experiences, though. Too hard for me to use and I'm a "computer guy". OB has been around since the 80s? I downloaded it once and it took me 20 minutes to learn to open a specific book. Online Bible - I think e-Sword was modeled after Online Bible.

The author is trying to make living by selling access to the software/modules, so public domain content is charged for and upgrade fees. The problem with SwordSearcher is all the points I listed above. Probably the most polished program I've seen from a design perspective. They really don't compete because most who love e-Sword won't love theWord and vice versa (theWord isn't as simple to use, caters to a more advanced audience, offers a level of depth not in e-Sword but that makes it more complicated). Yeah, it has a cool factor, but give up other Bible translations for it? And pay for public domain content? Balance that with how often will I use those features. I found little value in these relative to the problems above. There's also a dozen other unique things, like audible pronunciation of words. I've suggested that this feature be included in theWord and theWord's author is receptive. This index let's you use Topic or Book modules in a very different way (rather than being buried all the time, you will actually use them). Then you can find every reference (quickly) to any verse.

Plus Side: The program has a nice indexing feature, which looks through all of your modules. I think I've said on more than one occasion to him if he wants his program to be more popular like theWord (another more advanced Bible study program), then stop charging for content (i.e. If the converter worked very well, then you wouldn't need to buy much of the content. That pushes you into buying the public domain content they sell. I'm a perfectionist and it drove me absolutely crazy reading a module converted by BA. The importer from e-Sword is bordering on terrible. You're locked into his grid, especially on Bible translations.ģ. I'm not saying that's "bad", I'm just saying "it is". If it disagrees with his theology, he won't include it (unless it's one he thinks has "study value" beyond the opposing theology). So a lot of our modules will never be included there. Dave on most things actually, it's just a reference point on the theological grid). He's substantially more conservative than even Dr. He's highly conservative, independent Baptist type. Unless you make modules yourself, you will be in the author's tight theological grid. Most extended features of BA (that users really want to use) are also available in theWord (which is free).Ģ. I can't see any Bible study program, that competes with free Bible study programs, becoming overly popular unless it's also free. Most public domain content we provide free, you have to buy for BA.
Yeah, it's one of the e-Sword clones that appeared trying to build on the functionality of e-Sword.
