An Accordance Workspace for All the Things
Many people think of Accordance, and Bible software in general, as a place to go in order to perform a complicated specialty search in the biblical text. Accordance can, however, be much more than that if you can easily shift between workspaces. Comfortable workspaces are the key. If you try to use the same workspace […]

Deus Providebit
It was late in the afternoon about this time of year when Josh and I decided to drive down and catch the Vespers at The Abbey of Gethsemani. We lived in Louisville, and so the trip to Trappist, Kentucky was just a quick jaunt. The service was refreshing, as always, but when we returned to […]

Reading Aloud without Stopping
I’ve been enjoying a new (to me) way of reading, and I wanted to share it here as a part of the ways of reading series. This method is very simple: Read a chapter out loud without stopping. If you want, allow yourself to look up two or three words you didn’t know. Repeat steps […]

Accordance as a Comprehensive Reading Tool
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. In the screenshots, Accordance is […]

How to Reread a Text
Rereading is your single most important tool, but instructors rarely take the time to show others how. It’s self-explanatory, right? Just reread. Well, what I’ve learned is there are different ways to reread a text and people benefit from a bit of an introduction. I want to point out Luke Ranieri’s technique. If language acquisition […]

Latin in Harry Potter
A colleague and I had a neat opportunity this morning to sit down with a student and chat about the Latin in Harry Potter. The student was writing a research paper on the classical roots of the story’s plot, characters, and language. There are posts scattered all over the internet that discuss these things, but […]

A Free Greek/Latin Reading/Writing Workflow
Online resources can be difficult to use, or at least uncomfortable. Many sites have all the information you need but are not formatted nicely and require the user to make too many repetitive clicks. I want to share a workflow I’ve been using recently that is completely based on online resources and at the same […]

Live Click and a 3-Column Setup for Accordance
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 […]

Latin on My First May 4th
For some reason, this morning I woke too early. Even more strange: I was actually rewarded for lying there and scrolling through Twitter before getting up. Legonium had posted their illustrated Bella Stellaria Pars Quarta: Spes Nova. It was nice to have the opportunity read through those gorgeous slides, but this turned out to be […]

2 Chronicles Göttingen LXX in Accordance
Accordance is the only software that has Hanhart’s 2 Chronicles Göttingen edition. V&R published the print edition in 2014, and Accordance released their electronic edition in 2018. Currently, Accordance has their Göttingen LXX on sale for the lowest price they have ever offered. The 2 Chronicles volume is available apart from the bundle, but the […]
