We live in an age in which computers are changing countless aspects of our lives. One of the things they are changing for people of faith is the way that we study the Bible.
Over the last few decades, I’ve watched how Bible study software has developed, and it’s reached a point at which it’s capable of doing truly amazing things—things that were practically impossible only a few years ago, even for people with extensive research libraries at their disposal.
Among these things is the ability of biblical scholars to do complex studies of the way words and grammar are used in the biblical texts. These have shed new light on how the authors of the sacred books wrote and what they meant.
But Bible software isn’t just helping high-level scholars. It has something to offer everyone. Whether you are a priest, a deacon, a DRE, a catechist, a student, or just an ordinary person, Bible study software has ways of helping you learn God’s word better and grow closer to him.
In this episode of my show, I interview an expert on Bible software for Catholics and explore the many ways it can be of benefit to you and enrich your faith life.

Darn Jimmy… you are just… AWESOME!!!!
I just purchased your ‘The Fathers Know Best’ (great book, very informative and handy as an apologetics tool!) and I just love listening to your podcasts (very informative, I introduced a few of my friends to it) and reading your blog posts…
.. and now I even joined the secret info club!
Well THANK YOU Jimmy for all the wonderful work that you do!

Hi Jimmy, I have purchased Logos and I really like it. I recommend it, but there is negative too.
One problem with it is the clearly protestant selection of material – there is just not enough Catholic stuff and lots of Protestant stuff – still, what is available is good and very useful.
The other problem is their protestant marketing. For example, on October 31 I was wished a “Happy Reformation Day.” I did send an email to Customer Service telling them that, as a Catholic customer of theirs, it pained me to see them celebrate a gaping wound on the body of Christ. The response has been simply the sound of silence.
Perhaps you may have more influence with them. Would you pass it on?
For those who don’t know. The Perseus Project is the academic collection of every single document of Classical writing i.e. Latin and Greek. The fact that you can download it for free is very nice.
