Anyone Here Use e-Sword?

[Perhaps Today]

I was wondering if anyone else here uses e-Sword. If you're not familiar with it, it's a free Bible study software with a lot of good and free resources. There are some modules (books) that are only available by purchase, but they're reasonably priced. I've made quite a few resources for it myself, though mine are free and in the public domain.

I would be interested in knowing your opinions on it. If you use a different program feel free to say why you prefer it instead.

If anyone is interested, here's a link to the website.

Esword is OK

Yes I use esword. I think it's quite useful.

You can also get lots more free modules, including Calvin's commentaries, at this site.

I have both e:sword and Quickverse. Quickverse is a program that is NOT free, and is supposed to be really great, but I really prefer e:sword. It's easier to use, and has at least as much if not more information.

I had it on my old computer. I remember it being alright.

I've used it before. I just like having physical books to study with rather than computer programs.

I have it but use it very rarely, just not crazy about the layout. For bible study I used Bible Explorer 4 with the ESV code put in there. Doesn't have as much free stuff but it does have a lot of free things, as well as a much better customizable layout and I love it. BibleExplorer 4 is free as well.

I just wish it had more patristic resources.

I'm a member of that site and even have a few modules hosted there. All of my modules are hosted at the following site.

I've heard of Quickverse, but I've never used it. It can be expensive from what I recall. I hear it's a good program though.

They switched the layout just recently.

I have tried BibleExplorer4 before. It's a good program, but too many of the resources (including public domain works) aren't free.

I just wish it had more patristic* resources.

I know that the Ante-Nicene, Nicene, and Post-Nicene Fathers collections are available, but I'm not sure if anything else is available.

*Yes, I had to look that word up.

I have never heard of it. Thanks for sharing though!

Yeah they don't have the huge amounts of resources available in the free dept. as Esword, that is a big drawback. With the free resources from them though I will have a long time to go before reading all of them. I will have to try the new Esword layout.
