If you have a PC and want to dive deep into the Scriptures, you’ll likely come across Bibleworks Bible Study software. It’s a robust package that aims to help you with Biblical exegesis work. There are tons of bells and whistles to keep you occupied when doing research about any verse, passage or chunk of the Bible.
I’m happy to have gotten my hands on a copy of Bibleworks 8, their latest version to try out.

With the BGT Bible version (the Greek LXX OT and NA27 NT), it will find matches in the Apocrypha as well. This makes word study more powerful and simpler. It also makes it accessible to a wider base of people less trained in biblical languages.

I love being able to find where else a word is used in the Bible…it really helps you see the parallels that exist, especially in the Gospels, with which I'm currently working. I also love the BibleWorks map options. That really helps with seeing the context for the text.
