Easton's Bible
 CCEL Classics CD: works by Saint Augustine, John Calvin, John Donne, Julian of Norwich, Brother Lawrence, Martin Luther, Saint Teresa of Avila, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas a Kempis, John Wesley, and more! $49.00 Like others have said, there are so many different works spanning thousands of years of church history from St. Augustine to G.K. Chesterton. It is great to have such a variety on one convenient CD. I also appreciated the search feature, especially when I was writing a paper and wanted to be sure that I was looking at all of the occurrences of a particular theme. It is also convenient to have the option to install the documents on your hard drive or leave them on the CD.  SwordSearcher Bible Software Version 5 For Windows With Theology,Maps,Commentary: King James, Wycliffe, Darby,Textus Receptus, Luther, Easton, Fausset, Hitchcock,Strong,Spurgeon,Albert Barnes,Burkitt Clarke, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown,Keil and Delitzsch,Newell,Poole,Scofield,Spurgeon,John Wesley,Larkin, and more $69.99 Given its low price, SwordSearcher Software uses Free Public Domain resources for its Bible Study, with many of them from the early 1900's or one hundred year old or more -- this is true for the Commentaries and Books they have. To underscore my point that this software used (old) Public Domain material, go to its FREE competitor THE WORD BIBLE SOFTWARE from w- DOWNLOAD COM or home page w- theword.gr and you'll see most of the same resources used. If I'm paying money for software, I would prefer some 20th century resources, that would shed more light on a wider range of Bible Study (not just multiple free, old translations) So apparently, we are paying money for Sword Searcher's features and NOT current up-to-date Bible Study resources ... especially, when you consider related, important material like the Biblical Archeology and Manuscript discoveries that have been made in the 20th century To SwordSearcher - PLEASE include ONE MODERN COMMENTARY like: Holman Concise Bible Commentary NIV Compact Bible Commentary by John Sailhamer Tyndale Concise Bible Commentary Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Commentary MacArthur Bible Commentary New Bible Commentary 21st Century Edition by DA Carson Life Application Commentary by Tyndale House I'll probably reconsider some of the more expensive software from ChristianBook com software -- Zondervan, WORDsearch, Logos, Biblesoft -- to fill in these 20th century gaps  The Bible Dictionary: Your Biblical Reference Book (Forgotten Books) $14.32 Book Description: "Easton's Bible Dictionary [...] published three years after Easton's death in 1897 by Thomas Nelson. Because of its age, it is now a public domain resource. Despite its name, many of the entries in Easton's are encyclopedic in nature, though there are short, dictionary-like entries. It contains nearly 4,000 entries. Easton's Bible Dictionary contains an extensive set of entries used in the Bible, from a 19th century Christian viewpoint."
