BibleWorks 9 on Tablet Computer
BibleWorks 9 Exegetical Software Offers Breakthrough Resources
NORFOLK,Va June 28 - Bible students, teachers, pastors and scholars are in for a treat with the
launch of BibleWorks 9. It introduced one of the most comprehensive resources for studying the
original texts of the Greek New Testament -- the BibleWorks Manuscript Project.
The first installment of the BibleWorks Manuscript Project contains new e-transcriptions and
complete image sets of seven of the most widely studied Greek New Testament manuscripts --
Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Bezae, Washingtonianus, Boernerianus and GA1141. The
images of these ancient copies of the New Testament are also hot-linked -- allowing users to quickly
find specific verses -- giving unprecedented access to the early text. The morphological tagging of
manuscripts is an ongoing project and updates will be provided to users as they become available.
BibleWorks 9 also includes several important Greek e-texts and revisions – all enhanced for
computer analysis. They include the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine text with Robinson 2010
morphology; Westcott-Hort with diacritics, variant readings and morphology; Scriveners with
diacritics, variant readings and morphology, Trinitarian Bible Society Greek New Testament, and
the Tregelles New Testament. With a click of the mouse button, BibleWorks users can quickly
highlight differences between Greek texts in the main window.
“BibleWorks 9 takes a giant leap forward in terms of opening up the world of textual variants and
text criticism,” said Dr. David deSilva, the Trustees' Distinguished Professor of New Testament and
Greek at Ashland Theological Seminary. “Even more exciting, the transcribed texts of the major
uncial witnesses can be selected as display versions. I can read the critical text, Sinaiticus,
Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, and others side-by-side, such that the historic witnesses come alive as real
texts, and not just as symbols at the bottom of the page of the print edition of the critical text.”
BibleWorks has also added the exhaustive New Testament Critical Apparatus from the Center for
New TestamentTextual Studies (CNTTS). In BibleWorks, when studying any New Testament Greek
