Back when Bible software was pretty archaic, I started using the Online Bible.
I then moved to E-Sword in 2000 and I still think it is the best Bible study software out there for free.
However, I wanted to ask everyone else what commercial Bible study software they like and why?
I am looking at maybe buying Logos or Bibleworks. If I could afford it I would buy both as I have read pros/cons on both of them. If you could only get one though, which would it be?
From what I have read, Bibleworks is much more limited in the amount of resources it has, pretty much Bible/Greek/Hebrew study but is super fast. On the otherhand, Logos has tons of resources but is considerably slower than Bibleworks.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Brian, I use Gramcord, it is akin to Bible Works, and one of its primary developers was my Greek professor in my under-grad–His name is Dr. Dale Wheeler. It is primarily Greek, Hebrew driven. It has many more add-on options, i.e. commentaries, lexicons, etc, etc. Its much more affordable than Bible Works. Give it a look. I don’t know their url off the top of my head, but go to google, and you should be able to find their web-site.

Hi, I’ve been using logos for several years and I love it. My only complaint is that i can’t afford their “silver” version.
I am using the Bible Study Library from Zondervan. It has everything including a lot of stuff I will not use because Greek and Hebrew are beyond my range. Reasonable price. A little complicated if you want to use everyting to the fullest capability. I keep it simple and it had been a great help in preparing for some of my Bible Study groups.
