Perhaps this has been covered somewhere, but I could not find it. As a long-time preacher and Bible teacher (40+ years), I would like to be able to carry into the pulpit a Windows-based tablet with my sermon or class notes document. In that document I want to be able to tap certain Bible references, key words, etc. that will then open to the appropriate place I have previously linked to in e-Sword. Perhaps a second tap would close the reference.

 

Any suggestions of existing apps, programs or methods of elegantly doing this would be appreciated.

Your best bet could be to use the web based version of e-Sword.  http://live.e-sword.net/app/

 

It offers most of the functionality of e-Sword.

 

Another option would be to prepare your sermon in the topics window, then tooltip them so that scriptural references would behave like they do in Commentary, Dictionary and Topic files and show the scripture when you hover over it..

Thanks, Tim. Your suggestion would work as long as I didn't need to link to a dictionary or commentary reference. Perhaps there is some other application all together that I could cut and paste from e-Sword references into the hyperlink. The idea is that, when teaching, you sometimes use every reference and note and sometimes skip certain ones. So I would want to touch or click the ones I want to use at that moment while ignoring others.

I'm familiar with the problem, though from a different perspective.

 

For the past several years I have been teaching an adult Sunday School class (about a dozen people ranging from mid thirties to their eighties).

 

Most of the prepared lessons seemed a bit superficial, so I started writing my own.  Scripture to be studied, about a dozen questions to get them thinking about what they are studying, and two pages of commentary (most of the answers to the questions are in the commentary).  I have been posting the commentary portion of the lessons as my blog in case you would like to see the results.

 

Like you, I have to sift, digest and condense fairly massive amounts of commentary and data. Depending upon how the class develops some portions that got left out of the mix for one reason or another (mainly because I get them to read the commentary I have promised to limit it to two pages) needed to be recalled. 

 

I paraphrase what I cannot remember verbatim, and have a standing agreement that I will provide the Book chapter and verse upon request no later than the next Sunday if I cannot remember it during the class. (generally I can at least remember the book at least).But part of my agreement with them is no notes (other than the commentary).

I'm currently teaching my way through the book of John.  For some reason the entries aren't in order.  I have been too busy lately to up date with the latest lessons.
