REVIEW OF BIBLEWORKS 9

Abstract

Why should missionaries read a review of Bible software? Normally, mission journals review books but not software. The reason is simple. Missionaries need all the skills and tools pastors need in addition to many others that are necessary for engaging those in other cultures. They especially need a strong grasp of other languages, another culture, not to mention familiarity with various religions, historical events, and concepts like contextualization.Unfortunately, many missionaries do not have a strong foundation in the biblical languages. Others however studied Greek and Hebrew but do not have good tools to utilize their knowledge for the sake of the people whom they serve. Accordingly, this review is especially tailored for missionaries, whether one has a strong foundation in the languages or only scant familiarity.
