History
Interest in using computers to quickly search the Bible and copy sections of the text
quickly into lessons and sermons emerged in the early 1980s. Bible software was much
faster than traditional study tools in a book forms. Early bible software was aimed simply
at word and phrase searches in different modern translations. Later, as computers
improved in handling foreign language fonts, the original Hebrew Old Testament and
Koine Greek New Testament texts of the Bible were added. When working with the original
biblical languages, one of the first capabilities was morphology or parsing, providing
information on the parts of speech of various words to assist in understanding the intent
of the text. At this point many bible software programs emerged which are still in
publication today.

defined window layouts, and comprehensive copy and paste capabilities;
* Online Bible – Bible Software Package around since 1987. Huge library of material of
both English and other languages;

studies and allows users to build a virtual library from a variety of publishers which work
together seamlessly. Dynamic linking ties works together to the same biblical text, even
as a user moves through the works. The system also provides topical linking; a user
accessing a different dictionary will find it already opened to the same topic they chose in
another work. LOGOS packages include helps with harmonies, parallel passages, and even
offers such things as automatic citation of references
* QuickVerse – This was the first organization to utilize the STEP file format. It remains
the only software to exclusively use that file format;
* SwordSearcher – An inexpensive but simple bible study program. Includes mostly
public domain modules. Not suitable for original languages study.
