Accordance on Trinity 12
I thought as I was working through this week’s readings that I would make a quick post about my workflow. I’ll try and post something about how I use Logos maybe next week.
My main computer tool for studying the Scriptures is Accordance. It is fast and very easy to use. More important to me, though, is that the layout and structure puts the actual study of the text first and foremost.
Here is a screenshot of my workflow with Accordance for Trinity 12:
You can click on the file to get a large view of it.
Basically what you see is four tabs. In each tab I have each of the readings for the Sunday. Then when you activate the tab, you will find the text in as many translations as you want. I have four in this case. ESVS, Luther Bible, the Textus Receptus (I alternate looking at that with NA27), and the Vulgate. Then below you have my own notes on the bottom left, and another set of notes on the right. Right now on the right I have the Catena Aurea, but I also have lots of other notes like the ESV Study Bible, all of the different textual apparatus, and tons of other resources.
If you hover over a word you will get a quick window with the definition. If you double click a word a new tab opens with BADG, or Spicq, or TDNT, or whatever else you want to look it up in.
I then keep my Accordance window open on one side, and my Scrivener window open on the other. It rocks as a setup.
How do you study for your sermons?

I still use books. I own no laptop and my frugal helpmeet doesn't see the need for a laptop as I fight Internet addiction.
One electronic resource I enjoy is The Apostolic Bible. Now that I have the electronic copy, I can order a hard copy for a discounted price.

Rev. Larry Beane introduced me to The Apostolic Bible. It rocks.

I read Luther's sermons.

For the record, I, too, read Luther\’s sermons and all kinds of other stuff. This is what I do in Accordance.

study? We are supposed to study?

Having had too many computer issues, I'm trending more in the neo-Luddite direction all the time. My wide-margin NA27, Luther's sermons (where applicable; we use 3-year here), ESV, and where possible, Concordia Commentaries come into play. I do resort to Kittel at times.
