Better prices are out there. This from another list yesterday. I hope it doesn't violate our guidelines. To my knowledge the best deal on BibleWorks is from Rejoice Christian Software. You can get BW for $299 plus they throw in the NET Bible (a $40 value) for free. The address is www.rejoicesoftware.com. I sell the software for $299.95. That includes shipping! Contact steveservce@juno.com or call me at (757) 285-9398 and I will ship a copy right out. I have no interest here, just a happy user of BW for several years. BTW, I am not sure I have followed all the discussion on DA, but it seems to me that this is similar to much that I was taught in seminary 20 years ago. Back then we called it the hermeneutical spiral -- moving from whole to parts and back and forth -- developing statement of authorial intent for each section of the book from paragraphs up which had to account for all aspects such as grammar, syntax, structural markers, literary devices such as inclusio, historical setting, lexical analysis, etc. If it didn't fit you had not properly interpreted. I think it is considered bad form by many on the list, but I find sentence diagraming and gramatical layouts to be a helpful part of this. Am I way off or are we in the same ballpark?
