Review Article: Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible

Abstract

The Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible software package presents an exciting new era in Bible software, allowing for the first time complex phrase- and clause-level searching of the OT. However, its appeal is also that it offers for the first time the critical apparatuses of the NA27 and BHS in searchable format. The program should thus be considered by those involved in text-critical work or linguistic and exegetical analysis of the OT. For those needing to conduct searches on the OT such as the examples above, the program is an essential tool. Personally, I look forward with anticipation to the completion of the tagging of the OT and its integration into the program.
