Live Click is my favorite feature of Accordance, and yesterday I created a few new workspaces to better take advantage of its features. I use Accordance primarily as a reading companion, a place to turn to for reference resources as I read from a print text. Most frequently, I look to Accordance to be a…
Accordance has released a host of new daily readers that focus on the original languages of the Bible. All of these are based on 365 day reading plans, starting today, January 1. Each provides the type of readings you can work through in less than five minutes a day, which means if you fall behind…
For the past five years, I have used an iPad Pro as my primary computer. This weekend, I traded in my 12.9” iPad Pro (2018) for an M1 MacBook Air. In this post, I want to explain why. When my son heard I planned to trade in my iPad he was horrified, and as I…
The Anchor Yale Bible Commentary (AYBC) is commonly thought of as a full-scale critical commentary covering the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament, but it is more than that.

In the first post, NICNT in Accordance Bible Software,…
This is the third and final post on NIC in Accordance Bible Software. Here are links to the first and second. In this final post on the New International Commentary (NIC) in Accordance Bible Software, I want to demonstrate how the NIC commentary compares to other major commentary series. The idea for this post arose…
This is my second post discussing NIC in Accordance Bible software. The first post is here. The third post is here. The New International Commentary is wonderfully helpful resource, and it is currently deeply discounted in Accordance. It’s a sale that is worth your consideration. This post focuses on the Old Testament volumes and ways…
The Apollos Old Testament Commentary (10 vols.) is distinguished by its devotedly Christian approach to scripture while at the same time being thoroughly conversant with the broader field of biblical scholarship. This is what I love about it. To compare it to other commentary series, it is more like the Word Biblical Comentary than Anchor…
This post on Twitter, the content of which I wrote up and expanded in a blog post on the Ending of Mark in THGNT, led to an interesting discussion. In a conversation with Charles Sullivan, Dirk Jongkind provides links to manuscript images in the New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room. Inepti Graeculi asks a question regarding…
