Bible Software for Microsoft Windows, Linux, MAC, PDA

Last Update October 2009: Various version updates; Added Cadre Bible for Android; Zondervan is discontinuing Pradis; The following websites seem to no longer exist: Brinkman's Bible Toolbox; DNR's Christian Bible Scholar and ThML reader; EveningDew Bible Reader.

There are lots of great resources on the Internet for obtaining Bible Study Software. The following is a survey/overview of many of the Bible Study programs available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, MAC, and PDAs (PalmOS, PocketPC, Symbian, etc.). I have combined the Windows pages with the "other" operating systems (OS) pages since the lines have blurred with more and more companies now supporting multiple OS's.

The table below provides access to the web-pages of many of the software programs available. The idea is to provide the reader with a quick overview of available programs, and to provide a brief explanation of the program offerings. A few of the entries will have a link in the first column to more detailed information of that particular program. Sadly, my "reviews" are not as up to date as I'd like them to be!

Please note that any survey such as this one is only a snapshot in time. The day I post a version and a description could be the day a new update comes out. The best suggestion is to check with the author's website for latest version information.
