As I said before, I merely scratch the surface of what Accordance can do. I’m not good enough with the original languages to do some of the analysis that can be done, but I’m amazed by what I’ve seen others do.
I do make use of the Bible dictionaries at times. I’ve consulted some of the other works maybe a half dozen times: topical Bibles, old commentaries, etc. There are some nice articles in Spanish on the history of the canon, etc., that have been helpful for my radio program.
What I have used a number of times are the maps. I can get 2-D or 3-D maps, rotate the 3-D maps, measure distances and changes in elevation, and host of other things. I’ve found this helpful when studying the 7 churches of Revelation, for example, or for noting the elevation distance from Jerusalem to Jericho. (hence “a man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho” and all the statements about going up to Jerusalem) I could spend hours playing with that sort of thing.
I should point out a couple of things. One is that a growing number of these resources are available on the Internet. You don’t get the interconnectedness that you do by having them all in one program, but quality materials are there. The other is something that was discussed in the comments yesterday: these things are tools. Tools are used to help accomplish things. These tools help us do Bible study, prepare sermons, etc.; they don’t replace study itself. I don’t spend as long pulling books off the shelf or searching to find the information within those books. I do often include more resources than I might have otherwise. Surely that’s a good thing.
