many thanks for the fruitful discussion -
Head on a stick:
Well that's not very Christian...I'm pretty sure Jesus would have used the GPL :-)
Anyway, there are several front-ends for SWORD available in Debian:
Pierre you adviced me to loook at E-sword: https://www.e-sword.net/
well this sould interesting. all looks pretty nice - see the screenshots. - and i guess it is GPL ...
well a linux version would be cool - pierry you told us that there some wine things would be possible too?!EVERYTHING NEEDED
to study the Bible in an enjoyable and enriching manner. All Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, … everything is just a click away!
POWERFUL SEARCHES
that are simple to use. Enter as many words you want to search for and select the settings. You can even search on Strong numbers!
INTEGRATED EDITOR
for creating your own sermons, Bible studies, study notes, or journaling, complete with Spell Checking and a Thesaurus!
btw: is there a comparison out there - a comparison-chart that compares all the systems out there !?
just heard about another package called logos!!? is there any comparison online - !?
I've tried bibleworks but i did not have tried others.
i heard lots of others such as
Logos, without a doubt, a program that offers allmost the most functionality and has the most available resources out there. However, it is incredibly bloated and resource-intensive - and i heard that it is pretty expensive.
Well- it is told that they do have a number of free resources as well, but the things that I want and use are not among those. I'm not working on detailed exegeses or writing sermons or working with the original languages in an in-depth fashion.
I liked bibleworks but this project stopped years ago - i do not know why, Still, it's a powerful program with excellent support for Greek and Hebrew, and with a large number of available resources.
i have seen e-sword out there _ but i do not know it very well.
and we ve got another program: Olive Tree struck the sweet spot for me. The program itself is free and is easy to use. It won't allow us do complex lexical searches like Logos, but that's fine for someone like me.
Packages are small and cheap, and there are frequent sales on standalone resources that keep things relatively affordable.
but - above all _ i want to have a program that runs on Linux - so this makes it hard for me - to find a appopiate one. Which one to take!`?
