When researching a particular topic, one usually moves from searching, to browsing, to analysis of particular words or phrases. The three columns are designed to be user-friendly to the researcher. The three-column interface of BibleWorks is a key to why it works so well (screenshot below):

The program is designed for in-depth analysis of the Greek and Hebrew scriptures, not only in digital texts but also in a vast database of images of actual ancient manuscripts. The focus of BibleWorks is not to collate a vast library of books and commentaries. For that reason, I use it all the time, especially because I travel a lot and need the portability. Logos focuses its software on building out a vast digital library. I use them both because they both kind of focus on different things. Sometimes people wonder why I would use BibleWorks instead of the more well known Logos.

That is why I was so sad to read the news today that BibleWorks has decided to cease operations as a provider of Bible software tools. For me, losing this software would be like losing a limb. I use this software not only in my private study but also in nearly all of my college courses. If you walk into my study at any given time of the day, you will find that there is one program that is almost always open on my computer- BibleWorks.
