Summary: Easy to use, easy to expand, and yet affordable
Review: When I took the plunge several years ago and purchased Bible software, I read every review I could get my hands on. I compared features, cost, expandability, and the long-term projections. While every bible software package has weaknesses and strengths, I am very pleased with this purchase. The updates have been fairly inexpensive, and this Complete Reference package provides a good foundation for in-depth research. I like the ease of moving between translations, commentaries, dictionaries, etc. The levels of cross-reference are substantial because you can follow an idea from one passage to commentaries, dictionaries, and more at the click of a button. This version comes with an authoring feature that allows you to add you own materials and books. No software is perfect, so this can't get 5 stars. Some of the drawbacks include the following: you cannot print directly from the program--you have to copy and paste to a Word Processing program, which is sometimes inconvenient; some of the commentaries are a bit dated, but that is changing; for Greek or Hebrew scholars, this does not offer the depth you require and found in other specialized programs; this is a memory drag, so make sure you have plently of memory. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and would heartily recommend it.
