Q&A with Bible Software companies - the list

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of Bible software products or vendors, but nonetheless, here is a quick list of Bible Applications that have been asked to respond to our BIble Software Q&A and are well worth checking out.

These organizations are ordered based on the devices they support - i.e. mobile only, mobile and desktop, desktop only.

Olive Tree

Olive Tree produce Bible Software for Windows Mobile and PalmSource devices and is quite popular.  They have a range of books in their library at reasonable prices and allow you to build your own collections.  They also support multiple languages.

e-Sword

e-Sword has both desktop and Windows Mobile versions.  Their software is free, as are many of the books and bibles including a few very good modern translations such as the ESV.  They also have some good historical translations such as the Bishops Bible (1568) and a number of foreign languages.

Laridian

Laridian produce a range of products for a range of devices including Windows Mobile, PalmOS, Blackberry, iPod and Windows.  Supporting so many devices is hard, so this is a big effort - but the benefit is that the books in their library are transferable between many of these devices. They also have tracts and a range of books, with a few free books.

Logos

Logos supports Windows Desktop only, but has a monstrous library with more books being added regularly.  They also have some unique tools and books such as the reverse interlinear which has the Greek and English alongside each other in the English ordering.

Which of these is right for you?  Good question.  More on this soon...

If you have some software you use that is not listed here, please leave a comment :-) I'd love to add them in to the next exercise like this that we do.
