Lots of Free Modules for e-Sword

Many of the blog's readers already know about my fondness for e-Sword. I have been a long time user of this free Bible study software program (alongside BibleWorks) and cannot recommend it highly enough. In my opinion, the program -- currently in version 10.1.0 -- rivals many that you would have to pay for and is better than most. It makes basic word studies a breeze and has been of great use to those in my congregation to whom I have recommended it. In fact, they often tell me that they love the layout and how user-friendly the program is. In addition, there is not a very steep learning curve with this program, so most anyone can catch on to it quickly.

But there is also a very active user community creating many quality modules for use with e-Sword. You can check them out at the BibleSupport website, where you can find an assortment of free books, commentaries, dictionaries, and Bible versions. Here is a list of some resources that this blog's readers might be interested in:

- A collection of writings by John Calvin, including his Institutes of the Christian Religion and his complete commentary

- The complete Commentary on the Old Testament and Commentary on the New Testament by the Puritan scholar John Trapp

Of course one has to use such resources with discernment, and there are many modules at the site that I would stay far away from (such as those by the Pelagian heretic Charles Finney!), but there are also many worthwhile modules that are helpful for Bible exposition.

P.S. However, the site also thankfully has a review of Finney's Lectures on Systematic Theology written by Charles Hodge.
