I spend more time on my computer(s) than anywhere else, and I have found some very useful tools that I thought I’d tell you about. All of them are free or have free versions, and all of them work in Windows. Everything – I am starting with this one because it’s both my newest discovery… Read More »
I have a number of short things to post on. Instead of collecting them under “Sundry” something or other, I’m going to do a series of short posts. Starting with an offer of 8 good commentaries for Libronix: Baker Exegetical Commentary on the NT, Vol. 1: Luke, Volume 1 by D. Bock Luke, Volume 2… Read More »
This might be something that could be useful to some of the readers here. But you have to be a bit forward-thinking. Microsoft is offering their Ultimate Office collection (which has pretty much every Office program) for $60, but only for students. The problem is, or rather the reason that some students that I know… Read More »
This post is not about what you might expect to hear – the standard sins mentioned in sermons and such. Things like time-wasting, gossip, violating copyright law, pornography, and rude behavior are serious sins, but not the subject of my concern today. No, my concern probably affects more of computer users than the above, believe… Read More »

I personally use Logos (Libronix) as my primary Bible software and… Read More »
About a month ago, I posted on Bible software and a good follow-up to that post is this review of 6 different free programs, including Swordsearcher, e-Sword, BiblePro, Theophilos, The Sword Project, and the Online Bible. The reviewer concludes thus: Narrowing the field down to Swordsearcher and e-Sword was easy; picking the final winner was… Read More »
I have been asked to give my opinion on the best archaeological resources available for Logos Bible Software (Libronix), ranking them in order I would recommend for those with limited budgets. I was given this list: Bible Review: The Archive Archaeology Odyssey: The Archive CD-ROM Biblical Archaeology Review Archive CD-ROM The Biblical World in Pictures… Read More »
My good friend Danny Frese responded to my recent post on my favorite software: Your recent post on software (and looking at your previous one that you linked to) makes me wonder why you didn’t mention e-sword, since you teach Bible. It is really an awesome program, and it’s free. I really cannot do any… Read More »
I suppose I should send out a BiblePlaces Newsletter for this one, but time is short with a group arriving tomorrow and I don’t know that I will. But putting it on the blog is easy… A month ago a friend alerted me to a new “virtual tour” of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.… Read More »
