General Overview & Bible Window

theWord Overview

theWord Overview. This video by Paul Chapman basically focuses on the kinds of sub-windows in the program, and how to open and use them (as a general help). These are Bibleview Windows which contains Bibles, Module (Bookview) Windows which contain any of the various other kinds of modules, i.e. books, commentaries, dictionaries.




Besides that there are also Bible Search windows which contain the results of a search on a Bible or Bibles for a particular word or phrase. You have the option to search a single Bible, or all Bibles. This later feature is extremely nice if you wish to compare the translation practices of the translators of two particular Bibles. For example, compare the KJV and the NIV (or any modern version) on the word “atonement” or “propitation”. The modern versions do not like to translate the underlying Hebrew and Greek into these words but use word arounds. You can also make groups of Bibles, and your search will go across only those Bibles.

Also there are Modules Search Windows which are searches which span all of your installed modules, and there will appear the results of your search words. Also note that these module search windows can be have a group of modules grouped, and the search will go across the only those modules.
