The
Christian Singles Magazine in
their May 2001 issue had this to say about Bible Explorer:
Bible Explorer Deluxe stands
above the other packages
as an excellent piece of Bible Study software since it is easy to use and
advanced enough to make your study time productive. The interface in Bible
Explorer simply outclasses the rest. Studying the Bible is all about having a
better understanding of God’s Word, and that’s how I felt after using Bible
Explorer. It was fast, intuitive, and I didn’t have to spend a lot of time
learning the program. For an easy, thorough Bible study aid, it doesn’t get
much better than Bible Explorer Deluxe 2.0 from Epiphany Software.”
