Words From The Past |
Words From The
Past is a Bible software program and study tool
that features an online, interactive quiz that tests your
knowledge of the unique words found in the King James
translation.
The King James translation
(Authorized Version) of the Bible is often praised for
its place in literature, its majestic style, and its
poetic rhythm, but unfortunately these statements are
often followed up by the charge that the language found
upon its pages is archaic Elizabethan English that
renders the Bible unintelligible and difficult.
Does the King James
contain archaic, obsolete words?
See how well you do in
recognizing the correct definition of each word as it is
hidden among 3 bogus definitions. For example, can
you find the true meaning of the word
"neesing"?...
Or how about
these words? "avouch", "bruit",
"collop", "concupiscence",
"durst", "emerods",
"greaves", "wist"...? Hmmm...no
so easy, is it?
Words From The Past
allows you to view randomly selected words from the King
James Version along with four possible answers. You
then select the answer you believe most closely describes
the word in question and the program will tell you if you
are right or incorrect. In addition to showing the
correct answer, Words From The Past also
displays a Bible verse and the context where the word is
used. This allows you to view the word in its
actual context. Even if you feel you already
understand most of these words, you'll undoubtedly be
surprised with just how much you really don't know.
Words From The Past
also keeps track of each program session. Here it records
the names of the people using the program, the dates you
used the program, the number of your correct questions,
the numbers of questions attempted, your percentage
score, and the time you spend using the program. Your
past performance can be sorted in a variety of different
ways, including: by correct answers, date, names,
percentage correct, or the time spent. This will permit
you to view your past performance in almost any order
you'd like.
This program is quite useful for
everyone in the family to use. Not only can each family
member try to score the highest scores, but you can even
set up teams to compete with other family members. This
way you can have someone to discuss the words with before
you record your answers. Words From The Past
offers hours of family fun and enjoyment while it assists
you in learning to use your King James Bible more
effectively.
