Comparing Greek NT Manuscripts and Texts

BACK TO COMPLETE REVIEW


BibleWorks8



Usually BW8 displays text verse by verse, but one can also specify a passage of any length. In order to see texts in vertical rather than horizontal parallel, one should use the Parallel Versions Window available through the menu via Tools > Viewing the text > Parallel Versions Window or by clicking on the panes button in the toolbar. (See figure 2.) This window is also customizable, but the best feature is that also allows for the kind of setup shown in figure 2 where I have compared 4 Greek texts, placed the KJV (which used the Textus Receptus) and ASV (which was largely based on the Westcott & Hort text) on either side, and enabled comparisons of both the Greek texts and the KJV/ASV texts. It is somewhat difficult to save text results in BW8. The Browse Window results may be copied/pasted into another program (be sure to enable "Export Colors" in the text copy configuration dialogue), but can not be saved at all in the Parallel Windows except by snapping a screen image.
