At this point we saw the emergence of Bible software programs, some of which are still around today. When working with the original biblical languages, one of the first capabilities to be added was morphology (often called parsing), information concerning the forms of verbs, nouns, adjectives, and other words (many of these parts of speech assume different forms in different contexts). Later as computers improved in their ability to handle foreign language fonts, the original Hebrew (OT) and Greek (NT) texts of the Bible were added. So the first Bible programs were little more than basic electronic concordances, useful for finding where certain words were located (at first in the King James Bible, then other translations were added).
The initial advantage computers had over printed Bible study tools and materials was speed.they could search large amounts of text relatively quickly. It did not take long after computers became "personal" (early 1980s) for people to start using them for Bible study. Bible software may include one or more bible texts. Bible software is software which provides access to the texts of the Bible with facilities to aid research and study such as searches, cross references, integrated dictionaries and commentaries.
