e-Sword
The Sword of the Lord with an electronic edge

e-Sword is a Bible study computer software package created by Rick Meyers and developed for Microsoft Windows and Pocket PC.

Development started in January 2000. Since that time, it has continually grown in popularity, reaching 7,000,000 downloads in January 2008.

This wonderful program supports several English translations, as well as translations into many other languages.

Rick Meyers aspired to make Bible study freely available to anyone, while also providing power and depth to research. His theme verse is Matthew 10:8 "Freely you receive. Freely give".

Rick Meyers states on his homepage:

As a Bible student and teacher I have experienced the necessary work involved in searching the Scriptures for the competent preparation of a Bible study, Sunday school lesson, or a sermon. There are volumes of books available as study tools (and the Christian community is indebted to the various authors' perseverance and scholarship), but there is not enough time, money, or shelf space to properly take advantage of these resources. Computer software has changed the way we can study the Word of GOD. With a simple search or click of the mouse button, we now have access to these same volumes of scholarship within seconds!
