I want to demonstrate a workspace in Accordance that I am enjoying as a comprehensive reading companion. I’ve posted before about a similar 3-column workspace, but I’ve tweaked things in ways I consider significant. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been happier with this setup than any other I’ve used.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve settled into a reading workspace in Accordance that I really like. A recent post on the Accordance forums prompted me to do a quick screen recording to demonstrate and explain the setup. I didn’t take the time to edit or polish it, but I hope it is helpful in…
This weekend I finished the third and final post on the New International Commentary (45 vols.) in Accordance Bible Software. The goal was to demonstrate both the high quality content of the commentary and how Accordance is a fanstastic platform on which to access the work. In the first post, NICNT in Accordance Bible Software,…
