'''E-Sword''' is a [[computer]] program based upon the [[Bible]], written and published by Rick Meyers for computers running the [[Microsoft Windows]] program, and the [[Pocket-PC]]. E-sword is capable of running many Bible versions and translations, plus many other modules related to commentaries, dictionaries, and graphics. The program was published online as free software ([[freeware]]) in January 2000, and as of 2007 it has reached five million downloads.
==Features==
E-Sword, as of version 7.85 released in January 2007, is a file approximately 18 megabytes in size, and contains the main program bundled with the [[King James Version]] with [[Strong's Numbers]] and [[Strong's Dictionary]]. The program allows the add-on of various modules which can be downloaded from the same website, increasing the programs features and capabilities.
The display features a set of tabs in each adjustable window, where one can click on a particlar Bible, dictionary, or commentary. There is also a comparison feature to view a verse side-by-side with the same verse from another translation, or complete Bibles in the parallel tab.
===Bibles===
Many versions of the English-language Bible are available, including the [[American Standard]], [[Revised Version]], plus twenty-five others. These modules also include archaic English language versions, such as the 1611 King James version, the [[Darby Bible]], and the [[Geneva Bible]]. Bibles in other languages are also available, from the ancient Greek and Hebrew languages to modern languages today.
==Commentaries, dictionaries, graphics==
[[Matthew Henry]]'s Commentary, [[John Gill]]'s, and several other classic and modern commentaries are available, as well as familiar dictionaries and graphics modules.
==Topical add-ons==
These modules are available for viewing within the Topical interface, and consist of devotional material, famous sermons, and the like; included also is the works of Flavious [[Josephus]].
==Pay modules==
Several modules for E-Sword are with payment only; these particular ones are owned by the corporations still retaining copyright, such as the Lockman Foundation for their [[New American Standard]] Bible. These few modules are the only ones where the user must pay; E-Sword and the majority of its modules are freeware.
