Even fairly complicated graphical searches come back in under half a second. It’s also lightning fast, especially with a solid state drive. Their morphologically tagged resources are great for reading, but searching in a pop-up window makes studying in the original languages quite slow and cumbersome and their Windows version seems slower than the phone apps.īibleWorks 10, on the other hand, was designed from the ground up for working in Greek and Hebrew, and its search and analysis functions are simply top notch. Olive Tree’s Bible Study app was a great help when it came out on the iPhone and Android. For years though, I contented myself with free products like e-Sword and Xiphos, but I always found them a bit lacking when it comes to studying in Hebrew or Greek. Since I first studied Greek about 10 years ago, I’ve been thinking about getting a copy. Once it is initialized, the toolbar generally remains visible until you close the program (this is however not the case with the menu, which does not remain visible).I have to say that I’m quite excited to get my hands on a copy of BibleWorks. To initialize the toolbar, all you have to do is type alt + v > Toolbar >Initialize main toolbar.

Ie, to access File, just type the shortcut alt + f. However, these can be accessed easily with their shortcuts. The menu and toolbar do not initialize on startup. This is slightly irritating but still readable.

Also, in the NT apparatus, the Greek font works, but some of the letters are a few points larger. However, if I change from one apparatus to another one, I generally have to first restart the program. The textcritical apparatus function of eg BHS and LXX(RH) works quite well. The help files and other things that previously did not work out of the box now seem to run flawlessly. No extra tricks in wine were needed to get it running.

I have been able to install BibleWorks 10 from the flash drive without a hitch (no need to use Crossover).
