I ran across this in my Christian professionals group at Linked In this morning. It is a visually exciting presentation to be sure. My only question is:
Can it really be used?
I saw no place to add notes, new crossreferences or any of the other things necessary for a real study bible. I’ve included a scan of one of the pages in one of my bibles to show you what I mean.
It may be that Glo can handle this, but I couldn’t find it in the promo pieces on their fancy Website.
It is gorgeous though—unlike this bible that has actually been used. I’ve got to admit I’m suspicious when they don’t give you the version and the typography looks so bad on the screen. I’m afraid it’s NIT or worse.
My guess is (judging by past history) that Zondervan has it locked down tighter than a drum so it can’t really be used as a teaching tool.
A used study bible
Do you have any more info on this?
Not really except a friend of mine said she liked the notes capability.
I purchased Bible Glo and entered the most frustratin computer program I have ever ever tried to use. I have been a very happy user of Zondervan NIV Study Bible for perhaps 10 years and was dissapointed that it was replaced by Bible Glo.I purchased it hoping to replace a wonderful discontinued program. One of my problems may be my M.S. and losing my ability to function well with navigating a very dificult program with no real help from Bible Glo. I have asked for siple directions but have been treated very curtly. I accidently found the most helpful info I have seen on another web site “Quick Verse 2010 and Bible Glo.” I would think that Bible Glo could give me better info than what I received there.
It looks like I will have to experiment with that info for now.
It is a shame that a program with so muh info does not have an uderstandable operating system with understandable operating instructions for someone like me. Can you point me to assistance or must I remove the program from my computer and look for one as easy to use as your discontinued program.
Yours in Christ,

Thanks for the comment. This is the reason I am using biblegateway.com
I can’t find a program worth the money.
Also I like to check out several versions when I’m setting up a teaching.
I am waiting for someone to give me a hint on how to use Glo.
Haven’t tried for several weeks and won’t try again until I find meaningful instructions.
Isn’t there anyone who can help me?
I haven’t removed the program from my computer yet, but will if I can’t find help.
Don.
I can’t understand why no one cares enough to respond to my problems
