e-Sword e-Sword is the original free Bible software
program. Started in 2000, the program was
primarily available for the PC. Since that time, it
has been adapted for use with the Mac (using a
WINE emulator), iPad and the iPhone.
Technically, it is not a cross-platform program.
It is a free software engine and most of the
modules are free as well (those in the public
domain or user-created modules.) The e-Sword
website also has a store for premium books
which can be purchased. The good: The
software engine is free. You can’t beat free. The
bad: Since, it is not cross-platform, you are
restricted to how you can use the program. Also,
the library of premium modules are growing.
Yet, because so many user-made modules have
been made that were originally copyrighted,
publishers are not that excited to produce
content for e-Sword.
The e-Sword website lists all of the features,
along with videos, a store, and links to other sites
of interest.
2. WordSearchBible
LifeWay Resources recently bought
WordSearchBible. The layout is similar to e-
Sword. The program has really been improved.
The good: It is now cross-platform and syncs
across all devices. WordSearchBible provides
many free modules. LifeWay brings out new
modules on a regular basis. They have a free
resource post every Friday on their blog. The
bad: While they are trying to unify the Bible
software, LifeWay seems to have a disjointed set
of programs. They have WordSearchBible,
Quickverse, LifeWay Reader App,
MyStudyBible.com and other apps. LifeWay
Resources provides the WordSearchBible for
the iPad, iPhone, and Android. LifeWay are
working on unifying all of their products. Yet, it
can be difficult to jump from one app to another
for Bible study.
The WordSearchBible website has all of these
wonderful tools.
