Amazing Catholic Bible Resource! May 20, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Thanks to a commentor on this blog, I found this sweet repository of Catholic resources on the Bible. It is a collection of electronic texts to be used with e-Sword (the best free Bible software in the world). You can find this collection of Catholic Bible resources here. It truly is an amazing amount of material: the old Catholic Encyclopedia, the Vulgate, the Summa, the Early Church Fathers, the Catechism, The Peshitta, the Baltimore Catechism, the New Jerusalem Bible, early liturgical texts, Haydock’s Bible, a Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture, a Greek-English interlinear and a Hebrew-English interlinear. The list goes on and on! So go download e-Sword here and then download all these Catholic e-Sword goodies here.
If you are looking for Bible Software you should consider the following:
Biblia Clerus which is offered for free from the Vatican: http://www.clerus.org/bibliaclerus/index_eng.html think Vulgate, Early fathers, Church documents … this resources available continue to grow
VulSearch http://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/ which is also free is another useful tool for the Vulgate
Faith Database http://www.faithdatabase.com/download which I recommend with a minor concern – there is a wonderful mix of resources available at a very low cost. However, there are two web resources I have never successfully installed. However, the program is still a very good value.
And, of course, if you want to have very powerful software at your fingertips, Logos http://www.logos.com has made major strides in meeting Catholic needs … they still have a ways to go but …
