modules can be purchased: NRSV, Strong's Dictionary, Greek New Testament
(UBS 3rd ed. including Lexical Root database and morphological tagging),
and the Hebrew Bible (Text, lexical roots, morphene text and morphological

of a selected Greek or Hebrew passage. The package permits multiple grammatical

are the LXX, a set of biblical maps, word-processing conversion utility,

makes this more powerful than other academic packages. |
