I’ve used e-sword as my main free Bible program on my computer for as long as i can remember. It has worked very well, and i’m happy to see more and more Bibles being available on it. I currently have the KJV, KJV+, ALT, Geneva, Japanese, Chinese, Romanian, and Arabic Bibles.
But last nite i learned that the new version of e-sword (version 9) has a new configuration for its database, and that some of the old Bibles don’t work. Then i came to this site: upgrade to e-sword 9? of David Cox, who has developed many modules for e-sword in the past. He has had bad experiences with e-sword’s proprietor, and says that many of the modules he’s made are now useless because of the new database design of e-sword 9.
What to do?
He recommends using The Word. It has lots of Bibles too, and yes, is free. I haven’t used it yet, but it looks very promising. I hope it is as fast as e-sword in searching, as that is the greatest feature. If anybody uses this new Bible software, please comment and let me know your impressions of it.
The Word is much better than eSword in all areas. It searches much faster and has so many more features that it’s really hard to list here. Go ahead, you will not look back
