Therefore, everything that I say below represents my own personal opinion, and not the opinion of the exegetical department as a whole or the seminary.

First, neither the seminary nor its exegetical department has an official policy or position on this question. This means, among other things, helping them learn to use computer-based tools to support their study in a responsible and effective manner.īefore I answer your specific question about which Bible software is the best for pastors, there are four things I ought to say by way of preface.

For the exegetical department, the fundamental issue in curriculum redesign is the question of how to teach exegesis in the future in a way that prepares pastors for a lifetime of the study of the Word of God in its original languages. Right now the seminary is in the midst of a program of curriculum review and assessment. I do believe that the whole issue of computerized tools for biblical study is very important. I will do my best to try to answer any questions you may have, and to offer my own recommendation. His extensive reviews might be helpful to others.

David Adams prepared this in response to a request from a pastor who had asked for advice regarding the purchase of either Logos Bible Software or BibleWorks Software.
