Bible Study Software

Before I got my mac, I was a huge fan of the bible study software e-Sword, and if I hadn't switched to OSX, I'd still be using it. However, it is a Windows only application, and I was forced towards the functional, but at the time not nearly as good MacSword. It was probably the only regret of switching to a mac...

However, doing an update of MacSword a little while back has revealed version 2 of MacSword to have made huge moves, and is now just as good as I remember e-Sword (although not having access to e-Sword, I don't know where that is in its development), and so well worth a look, certainly for anyone laymen who are regularly involved in leading bible studies or giving talks. Further to my delight, it has released a version compatible with iPhone OS 3, called PocketSword, again something worth having if you are lucky enough to own an iPhone or an iPod Touch.

Back to study

After a gap of just shy of three years, I'm continuing my part time theological studies with the Moore College Correspondence Course. While I was in Malaysia, I helped teach the classes for three of modules and sat a further three, but when I returned to the UK, time pressures meant that I never got around to finishing off the Preliminary Theological Certificate.

However, with feeling a little more settled with my job, and study leave for some of my classes coming up, I feel there's a bit more time now to continue, so have signed up to study Ephesians over the next couple of months, which I'm looking forward to. While doing so, I may be trying to get back into the swing of doing more extended pieces of writing, which will probably find their way onto this blog. For those who want to follow, any comments would be welcome, and for the very few that actually read my blog on Blogger, I'll make sure the posts are labelled appropriately. Alternatively, it'll probably just be me blogging into the ether, but it'll be good for me...
