Ratings and Reviews
There is no other software like it!
Verbum changes everything about Patristic and Biblical study. We have had the works of the Fathers translated into English for a while now, but in no other time have we had them all at our digital fingertips. The same can be said about the tools of Biblical Study. I remember my grandfather diving deep into the Holy Scriptures with his Concordance and magnifying glass out. I hope that we never depart from that engagement in the physical text.
We have something in Verbum that he could never have dreamed of and that is the theological writings of most of Christendom, libraries of books. More words than Gutenberg could’ve ever imagined published all at your fingertips.
I’m a priest and I own Verbum 10 Portfolio and am considering a Phd now with the tools that I have received with Verbum. Our children homeschool and they will use Verbum in their study of Greek, Latin, the Bible, the Catechism, the Magisterium, and the Fathers! The sky is the limit and the exciting world of Patristic and Biblical study is out there to be engaged with. Get it, your children and grandchildren will thank you!
An incredible app, my favorite by far!
It is absolutely packed with useful features for serious
study of the scripture; highlighting both by verse and by word and in many colours and styles, in line notes where you can place links to other passages with many tags and colours to choose from, plentiful resources (commentaries, catechisms, church documents, etc), the best Catholic translations available, in app dictionaries and definitions including breakdowns from the original greek and hebrew, the list goes on and on!
Slightly hindered by occasional slowdowns, and I wish there were included audio bibles (I am especially desperate for recordings of the deuterocanon, which seem to be very hard to find) but not enough even to detract a star from my rating; it is as close as I’ve found to a perfect catholic bible study app and I would highly recommend it to anyone
Updates not as useful
Thank you for this app! I use every day, and I very much appreciate it. However, I am not as impressed with the updated dashboard interface-it’s dull and harder to find what I am looking for. The verse of the day is not as inspiring as it once was, and it seems as if though there may be a new artist or a group of artists, however the recent verses are not very good, in my opinion. I do like the fact that you can click on the Image and it takes you to the verse. The newer ones (within the last several months) or not as inspiring as they used to be, and often are highlighting negative passages. For example the one listed for December 5, 2019, refers to a Punishment of the children of Israel. I realize that we must see both sides of the spiritual equation, however, that should be reflected within the understanding of the person, or persons creating these “inspirational verses of the day.” I used to regularly share these with others so that they may be inspired as I was, however, I am finding fewer and fewer of them are worth sending to others.
