What our customer's say!

"Compton's Interactive Bible", This CD has filled my exact needs. It was shipped very promptly, I received it in about 4 days after I placed my order. I am well satified in the seller RainbowDreams4us.

"Excellent Bible CDrom!", I don not understand the negative reviews on this product. As a multimedia Bible, Compton's (now Zondervan) is probably the best moderate priced computer Bible on the market. Superlative and intuitive multimedia presentation combined with the very readable and accurate NIV Bible text plus commentary gives the average reader and excellent online Bible (sure is more fun than the standard book form)! From papyrus to codex to computer, the Bible can never die as the Word of God. Compton's Interactive NIV is proof of it - enjoy this Bible for the tech age!

"Praying for an Update", This program would not work with my high-speed computer. It needs a serious updating. I am disappointed.

"Some May Find Offensive", The above title is not a humourous reference to all the sex, violence, genocide, etc. contained in the Bible (although it could be), but to the fact that some of the commentary in one of the two cds (the Complete Multimedia Bible) is extremely unscholarly and manages to preach some of the intolerance found in more conservative churches. In contrast, the Compton's Bible cd goes for a more positive, inspirational angle. The Compton's is superior in numerous other facets. It has better design, better art/music/etc, a better translation (sure, the King James version is nice and flowery but that gets in the way of reading and understanding it), and contains all the good multimedia of the other cd, pretty much rendering the other cd redundant and useless, and I believe it can be bought on its own. Therefore, imagine you are just buying one Bible cd when you try to decide if the price is worthwhile or look for the Compton's on its own.

The Compton's cd does have some interesting historical insight, but it is also designed with Christians in mind, so it doesn't go into controversial history. If you really want to study the Bible (as it now exists--it does not contain any of the deletions that resulted from the Council of Nicea), you should therefore also still try to obtain a more unbiased book from someone not just trying to support or debunk the book (Asimov's guide is a good choice), but even if the Compton's isn't the best at outlining the Bible's history, you still need a copy of the actual text, and this cd with its search engines, pleasant music (classical/middle eastern), beautiful artwork, timelines, maps, etc., make this a nice form in which to own a Bible.

"Good Study Guide", I've found that the software proves as a good study tool. It comes in two disks. "Comton's Interactive Bible (NIV) and "The Complete Multimedia Bible (KJV) In the first, the Text is great (NIV) and the commentarries are what I would expect from Zondervan. The program is very easy to use. And comes with a guided tour to help out. I've never been able to get the On-Line feature to work (it looks like they are trying to push AOL), but, I've got enough material to sift through on the CD's alone. I did find that the "Complete Multimedia Bibe" (KJV) is really dated. The interface seems "DOSish" compaired to "Compton's Interactive Bible (NIV)" I find that I don't use the "Complete Multimedia Bible" as much as the other. I have found that Amazon sells "Compton's Interactive Bible (NIV)" seperatly.
