Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was a formative force in 18th century America; a pastor and a revivalist. Over the span of his ministry, he wrote in his personal notebooks about 500 Notes on Scripture.

In this SwordSearcher module, these notes are compiled together in the form of a commentary. Rather than appearing in the order he wrote them, each note appears on the verses in Bible-order, making this much more useful as a study reference.

This is a new commentary module in SwordSearcher 7.1.

And did you know? The SwordSearcher book module Great Preaching of the Faith has Edwards' famous sermon: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.

The new version 7.1 was released earlier this week! Current users of SwordSearcher can read about upgrading here.

Library Additions:

• The Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary
  The massive 37-volume commentary by Joseph Exell, William Jones, George Barlow, et. al., filled with illustrative and expository sketches, outlines, and quotes.
• James Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
  With almost 6,000 entries from various authors, this work is properly considered a single-volume Biblical encyclopedia.
• Jonathan Edwards' Notes on Scripture
  Notes from Edwards' private Bible notebooks, arranged as a commentary.

New feature highlights:

• A highly flexible and intelligent Bible Reading Schedule System. SwordSearcher can help you stay in the Scriptures daily with standard and custom reading plans. The reading schedule functions of SwordSearcher prominently feature estimated reading times and use them for calculating plans. This is far more useful than dividing readings only by verses or chapters. Custom reading plans can include any segments of Scripture needed. Plans can be created based on calendar period desired, or based on how much time you want to spend reading each day.
• The new Passage Analysis Tool shows details about a selected portion or portions of the Bible. Among the interesting details provided are complete word lists and "most unique" word lists, so you can see which words appear more predominantly in any given area of the Bible compared to other areas.
• Even faster and more convenient access to library modules with new library tab drop-down selection menus.
• Several user module editor enhancements, including built-in support for pasting images directly into user notes and topics.
• Lots more.
