Searching for...Thump!
A discussion on Brighthand began with a person asking about using the NASB with BibleWithYou. But like many discussions about translations, this one had started to run down the road of which versions work better for specific uses (aka, there are way too many translations of the Bible).
But in the mist of that thread I saw linked to a Bible reader that we haven't talked about here in a good while called BibleThumper. From the BibleThumper website:
BibleThumper is a Bible study software program written for PalmOS® devices. It incorporates the King James Bible, a concordance for fast searching, bookmarks, dictionary, commentaries and Greek/Hebrew lexicons. Databases can be read directly from memory cards to increase the amount of study material dramatically.
The really interesting thing about this program is that it helps you to search for the direct meaning of a word from its Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic root, rather than the English word's definition. This is a smart way to study the Scripture and usually leads one to understanding the meaning of the passage as it was written for the original audience, as well as how best to apply it to your personal life (i.e., correctly dividing the Word).
While there are other programs that do integrate Strong's concordances/dictionaries, BibleThumper seems as if it were designed with the concordance in mind. If you are looking for a Bible reader that can help lead your studies better, this one might make for a good download.
