Money does follow vision. Without tired legs and whining children, you can view charts, maps, and short movies that add interest to the background of the Bible. Like a museum, Compton's includes experts to explain nuances of the subject. The tableau, the central feature of the Interactive Bible, is a three-window format that links everything with hypertext. A click of the mouse zips you between a search window, commentary window, and text window.
Most verses have a hypertext link to a commentary.
The commentaries, in turn, have cross-references back to the Bible. The expert commentary is helpful for background and history of a passage, but most of the time, it leaves the original languages alone. The inspirational commentator provides some good illustrations that connect with life. I was disappointed that the documentation failed to divulge who the commentators are. Compton's ability to do word studies is limited, by electronic standards.
