Summary: Good Product -- Great Price
Review: When I opened the package, I was disappointed. only one CD. How could it possibly have enough information on it? When I installed and opened the program, I was delighted. The navigator comes with the HCSB and KJV standard, and you can upgrade to eleven additional versions. It also has standard "Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary", "Easton's Illustrated Bible Dictionary", and a set of maps and photographs. There are also numerous devotional helps. You get a 30 day preview of all the upgrades, which range from the 11 additional versions to John Milton's "Paradise Lost".What I like best, however, is the HCSB translation. It is as readable as any modern translation, and more readable than most. Its translation philosophy seems to be just the right mixture of "formal equivalence" versus "functional equivalence." It is not an unreadable word for word rendering, nor is it a paraphrase which plays havoc with the Greek and Hebrew sentence structure. The scholarship is excellent, the text is heavily footnoted, and technical terms such as "Sheol" are "bulleted". Put your cursor on the bullet, and a definition of the technical term pops up. Put your cursor on the footnote number, and the footnote pops up. Scriptural references in the footnote are hyperlinked to the actual passage. You get quite a lot of navigator for a very reasonable price.
