What's New in Version 7

Here's a survey of the new features and databases in BibleWorks 7.

New Features

New User Interface
The new BibleWorks interface is more intuitive and easier to use.

The BibleWorks user interface has been redesigned to work the way you work. When you are researching a particular topic you normally progress from searching, to browsing, and, finally, to analysis of particular words. The new interface is laid out in this order so that your work flow is more natural and intuitive.

Study Guides
Learn by example. Use the full power of BibleWorks.

New and experienced users will both appreciate the extensive set of task-oriented study guides that come with BibleWorks 7. Detailed instructions, complete with 4 hours of videos, will explain how to use BibleWorks to perform common tasks, like writing exegetical papers, searching Hebrew and Greek text and much more.

Key Word in Context (KWIC) / Collocation Table Module
Find recurring word usage patterns.

This new tool makes it easy to build key word in context lexicons and collocation tables for any word in any version. You will quickly uncover important phrases and word usage patterns often overlooked in standard searches.

Support for Unicode Hebrew & Greek
Export Greek and Hebrew text in the formats you need.
BibleWorks now supports both Unicode and non-Unicode Greek and Hebrew. Exporting Unicode is as simple as dragging highlighted text from BibleWorks to your word processor. Standard SBL and SIL Unicode Greek and Hebrew fonts are also included in the package.

Completely Rewritten Editor
Word and WordPad compatible.
In response to requests from many users, we have completely rewritten the BibleWorks editor from the ground up. It now has full support for Unicode and produces files that are fully compatible with Microsoft® Word and WordPad.
The new editor has an impressive list of features including full undo and redo, hypertext links, graphics inserts, RTL typing in Hebrew with left-wrapped text (Unicode only), a full array of text formatting options, a Unicode character input table, plus full integration with BibleWorks, and much more.

Satellite Maps
Locate any Biblical site with the click of a mouse.

BibleWorks comes with a set of beautiful satellite maps that you have to see to believe! The collection includes a full set of editable site and terrain overlays for major locations in Israel and Egypt, along with detailed overhead and elevation data and a comprehensive list of archaeological sites. You can even create your own map views, select sites to display, annotate key locations and trace journeys or battle lines.

Improved Lexicon Links
Find the right lexical entry every time.
The tables that BibleWorks uses to bring up the right lexical entry when you place the mouse cursor over a Hebrew word have been carefully proofed and revised. This extensive revision resulted in nearly 50,000 corrections! All lexicons now have hypertext links for Scripture references and are also indexed so you can find all citations of a particular verse with the click of a mouse.

New Databases

Shorter Lexicon of the Greek New Testament, 2nd Edition
Edited by F. Wilbur Gingrich & Frederick William Danker
This one-volume digest provides easy access to reliable and brief definitions, interpretations of most variants and many of the conjugational and declensional forms that can frustrate readers of the New Testament. Gingrich and Danker’s revision was created not only for experienced ministers and scholars, but also for students.

Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Second Edition
Bruce M. Metzger
In his commentary, Metzger explains why one alternate reading was chosen over others when translators for the United Bible Society prepared the Greek New Testament, Fourth Edition. Not only does his analysis provide a look at different interpretations, but it also helps illuminate the process and challenges of textual criticism.

Greek New Testament Diagrams
Randy Leedy

This original work by Randy Leedy of Bob Jones University provides diagrams and explanatory notes for every verse in the New Testament. Includes free updates as new portions of the series are published.

The CATSS/Tov Hebrew-Greek Parallel Alignment Module
The Revised CATSS Hebrew/Greek Text (Tov-Polak, 2005) is a revision of the Parallel Aligned Text of the Greek and Hebrew Bible, edited by Emanuel Tov.

This is an essential tool both for New and Old Testament studies.

A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament:
Based on the Lexical Work of Ludwig Koehler and Walter Baumgartner
W.L. Holladay, editor

Some reviewers have called this the best Hebrew reference tool available.
