With various internet resources available these days, I think students are less likely to shell out for a Bible software program. I recommend that they do, because you don’t always have an internet connection and there are some things that will never be online. I personally use Logos (Libronix) as my primary Bible software and I see a great deal now at Rejoice Christian Software on a basic package. You get 60 titles for $30. True, many you don’t need, but these alone make this a good deal:
NKJV
NRSV with Apocrypha
NLT
New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Complete Works of Josephus
Nelson’s 3D Bible Mapbook
And a number of others are worthwhile as well. Might be a good start if you don’t yet have a Bible program. On the other hand, there is something to be said for buying a bigger package to start, like the Scholars package.
The details on the package are here (including the normal $80 price tag, but it is $30 when you add it to your cart). The deal ends June 10 or when supplies run out.
Todd –
Sorry to go off track – couldn’t find an e-mail address on the site. You mentioned that you wrote articles & supplied pictures for the Archaeology Study Bible.
1. do you have a list of your submissions that were printed?
2. do you know if there is an on-line list of such things?
– I have a list of his work from Bryant Wood, but would like to find something comprehensive
To the rest of you onlookers – if you haven’t had a tour with Todd, you haven’t had a tour!!!
Steve (had mine in 2004)
Hi Steve,
Sorry about the email address. It’s not entirely an accident, but if you look at the website, you’ll find one. To answer:
1. No. I could go and look up my articles and make a list, but I don’t really want to post such, in part because I know that at least one of my articles was butchered (opposite conclusion was taken).
2. I don’t think there is, though I’ve heard that the 2nd printing of the Bible will include a list of contributors. I doubt they will ever publish a list that matches articles and contributors, in part because of editorial changes and in part to give the credit to the editors. In a work of this nature (as opposed to a Bible encyclopedia), I have no problem with that decision.
Hey Todd,
Thanks for the heads up, it seems like a wise and affordable investment. What is $30 in the long run? How did you find that the price was only $30 when the site said it was $80? Anyway thanks and take care.

Ryan – I found out because I am on Rejoice Software’s email list. They have good offers from time to time.
I picked up the MacArthur package at Costco for something like $20 or so. Has all I need … and lots of MacArthur goodies too.
