Ideal for seminary and serious lay students, PC Study Bible poses only one problem: it is so comprehensive, we can't tell you everything it does in this small space. With eight English-language translations, six Greek and Hebrew translations and references, commentaries galore, concordances, word studies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps, photos, and even a self-study guide with quiz--whew--you'll soon gain new appreciation for how varied the translations are--and how much it truly takes to understand the Bible.

Say you are interested in the concept of love. You can search for the term love by testament or by book, producing an "instant concordance" of any term. Click on the chapter and verse, and up comes the text in context. Don't like the Living Bible translation? Cycle through the other available translations with the click of a button, add your own notes, or cut and paste to your own documents.

Curious whether "love" in a verse was written as "agape" or another term? Pull up the interlinear Greek translation and find out--along with grammatical information, root derivation, and words with unknown or difficult translations. Various commentaries will let you research words, concepts, or verses in more detail. PC Study Bible also integrates with Microsoft Word 97, allowing you to build up your own reference work over time as well--and share study materials with other people who use PC Study Bible. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's what's included:
