I'm a new user to eSword and have been "playing" so I can get familiar with the program and really like it so far. I've been an onlinebible user since 1985 and think this is a superior product. What I miss are two critical modules that are difficult for me to part with since I write and publish exegetical bible study books, booklets and do live bible studies via web from my bible study groups. If you can obtain the following 2 propgrams to integrate w/eSword, that'd be great!

 

TWOT: Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament

TDNT: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament

 

I think your users would love these additions. I had this via OLB and really want to use those here on eSword

Numerous people have asked for these over the last few years. If I remember correctly, these are under copyright, and we were unable to get permission to use them. I hope that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, they are. However, the one thing is that there are copies of them floating around available for e-Sword irrespective of them being not kosher.

 

With that said, going by the numerous amount of requests for e-Sword editions of these resources, I find it quite staggering that either Rick Meyers and/or the bloke who own eStudySource (the best way I can put it) hasn't pushed it hard enough for having them made available for e-Sword.

 

I honestly believe that it will happen in the same way that the NIV came up for e-Sword. Just need to give it a heap of prayer and a heap of pressure on the publishers to allow these resources be made available for e-Sword. Here's a real suggestion; email the publishers of these resources en-mass and tell them that you would like these resources made available for e-Sword.

 

By the way, it would be really interesting to know just how much the publishers are losing out on potential sales of these resources by not having them made available for e-Sword users.

Hi Niobi,

No, that's not what the bloke his looking for. The Ryrie Study Bible has notes in that edition of the Bible. It's something similar to the Life Application Study Bible notes, which is totally different from what you put up. And its not available for e-Sword.

 

Hope that this clears things up for you, mate.

 

Blessings,

This is probably not going to be a "module", but I would love to see footnote marks available to be entered into bibles that have them, and the footnotes to be linked to study notes or better yet, hotlinked similar to the strongs numbers and bible verse popups.

 

A great example of what I am talking about is the Hebraic Roots Bible and the "notes" that do not display nor have the reference marks in the text like the hard copy has.  Another that I have that is similar is the Aramaic-English New Testament hardbound that I own (but isn't available as an e-sword module) that has extensive footnotes with Aramaic/Hebrew words and meanings and explanations.

 

So far the only thing you can reference is the entire verse of a chapter whereas often times a single word or phrase is what you want to reference.

 

I realize this may require updating the program language itself.  But wouldn't it be great to be able to do this!?

I acknowledge up front that this is not really what you want but for now it will likely be as close as you're going to get.

 

1) Make an entry for your verse in the Study Notes Editor by copying the (entire) verse into the editor.

Be sure that the editor is linked/set to follow your location in the Bible, or you have manually set the correct verse reference in the editor.

 

2) In the editor, mark up the verse with footnote indicators.

 

3) Add the footnote text.

4) When that (or any) verse with a corresponding Study Note entry is displayed in the Bible window, the verse reference number will be underlined with a wavy line.

This will tell you to go look in the Study notes for information you may want. Since YOU make the study notes, you will most likely want to review them.

Maybe this will at least get you close to what you want.
