Embracing technology as the pastor: Use Bibleworks to search versions

Concordances are time consuming and cumbersome things to use. 

So o
ne of the most wonderful things about Bible software is the ability to search the Bible quickly and efficiently.

For example, quality Bible software allows you to:
(i)
search multiple versions, not just in English but in Greek and Hebrew etc;
(ii)
search for keywords;
(iii)
search for phrases;
(iv)
search syntax;
(v) search for punctuation.

And that's only the searches off the top of my head that I commonly perform.

Bibleworks searches are incredibly diverse and can get quite complex if you want them to.

Basically if it's in a version, you can search it.


So, for serious searching of God's word use a serious electronic search engine. 


Rest In Peace (or recycling bins) concordances.
