| STUDY LIBRARY SPOTLIGHT: THE PEOPLE'S BIBLE COMMENTARY BY JOSEPH PARKER |
|
| The People's Bible Commentary is new in SwordSearcher 8.4.
Joseph Parker (1830-1902) was an English Congregational minister known for his vigorous and extemporaneous preaching, which typically avoided spending time on academic issues such as textual criticism. His 27 volume commentary was published from 1886 through 1898 while he was the minister of City Temple in London. It is subtitled Discourses Upon Holy Scripture.
"Dr. Parker occupies a lonely place among the preachers of our day. His position among preachers is the same as that of a poet among ordinary men of letters." —Ian Maclaren (aka John Watson).
And here's a quick tip -- if you don't see a library tab for something you're looking for, such as Parker in this case, just go on up to the main search bar and start typing in the name of the module you're trying to find and you will see any matching ones on the bottom of the menu that appears.

Here's a short summary of what's new in 8.4:
New Modules:
- William Godbey's Commentary on the New Testament [Godbey] (7 vols)
- Joseph Parker's People's Bible Commentary [Parker] (27 vols)
New Quick Concordance Tool: - A convenient new way to perform quick, “on-the-side” Bible searches without opening new verse list panels.
- Floating tool window supporting an unlimited number of search tabs.
- Instantaneous results display in the classic concordance layout as you type your searches, making it super-easy to get word and verse counts, without disrupting your current study flow.
Enhanced English-Strong’s Indexer:
- SwordSearcher’s analytical concordance tool, known as the English-Strong’s Indexer (aka ESI), has been redesigned and expanded.
- The ESI can now work on small phrases and Advanced Search Expressions; it is no longer limited to using a single word only.
- By default, the ESI now includes multiple word forms in its matching.
- To make the ESI more powerful as an analytical concordance, it now accepts Strong’s numbers as well as English text.
Other improvements: - The Bible panel book and chapter menus have been enhanced.
- StudyClick improvements.
- Verse List bar graph now allows clicks on books that have no matches. Doing this will bring the closest match position into view, so the bar graph can more easily be used to quickly navigate the results, without having to precisely click on a bar with results.
