[ Home ] E-Sword Modules
e-Sword is a very good free Bible study program for Windows. It was written by Rick Myers, and you can download the program and a whole bunch of free resources from his website by clicking here . These resources include Bibles in English, Greek, Hebrew, and dozens of other languages, plus commentaries, dictionaries, daily devotionals, books, and more. The program is feature rich, simple to use, and very powerful. You can do Greek, Hebrew, and English word searches, see the definitions of words in a tooltip window, compare translations, copy and print Bible passages in many different formats, and much more.
On this page I offer free downloads of e-Sword modules that are not available at the main e-Sword site.
The image of a lamp that burns speaks to a long tradition of seeking spiritual illumination. Throughout scripture, light is presented not merely as knowledge but as a way of walking, a path for the feet. The writers featured on this site understood that the kind of light that truly transforms a life is not a borrowed or reflected glow, but a fire kindled within. It is the light that exposes what is hidden, warms what is cold, and guides what is lost. This burning lamp represents the enduring conviction that God's truth, when received honestly, does not leave a soul in comfortable darkness but presses inward until the whole heart becomes a sanctuary of brightness.
Hannah Whitall Smith wrote with remarkable clarity about the interior life of faith. Her work speaks directly to those who find themselves weary of religious pretense and hungry for something real. She insisted that the Christian walk was not about strenuous effort to earn divine favor, but about learning to rest in a love that had already been fully given. Her writings do not merely inform the mind; they search the conscience and call the reader to examine the motives hidden beneath outward observance. For generations, her plainspoken wisdom has helped sincere seekers understand that the path of peace is walked not by striving, but by trusting.
Andrew Jukes brought a different yet complementary voice to the study of scripture. His approach was marked by a careful attention to the deeper patterns running through the biblical narrative, especially the ways in which God's dealings with Israel foreshadowed spiritual realities for all believers. He wrote with a pastor's heart and a scholar's discipline, drawing connections that reward patient reading. His works encourage the reader to look beyond surface meanings and to consider how the old covenant and the new covenant together tell one coherent story of redemption. His writings remain valuable for those who wish to study the Bible with both reverence and intellectual seriousness.
The tools of Bible study have changed across the centuries, but the need for faithful engagement with the text remains constant. Digital resources like e-Sword represent a modern extension of an ancient practice: the careful, prayerful examination of scripture. Such programs allow readers to compare translations, explore original languages, and access commentaries that would once have required a substantial personal library. Yet the ultimate goal remains unchanged. Whether one reads from a printed page or a glowing screen, the purpose is not merely to gather information but to be transformed by the truth that the text contains. The lamp still burns, and the light still guides those who seek.
The themes of light, righteousness, and peace echo through the scriptures referenced across this site. Isaiah speaks of brightness rising in darkness, and the Psalms describe the word as a lamp to the feet and a light to the path. These are not abstract poetic images but practical promises for daily living. The writers gathered here believed that God's commands were given not to burden but to illuminate, not to confine but to set free. Walking in that light means holding fast to peace even in troubled times, and letting righteousness shine not as a boast but as a quiet witness. The path remains open to all who will take it.

About These Modules
Click on the modules below to download an executable file that will install the module. You can save the executable file anywhere on your computer, then double click it, and it will install the module in the proper e-Sword directory. I made the Jonathan Mitchell N.T. and all the topic modules. The rest I received from other sources. Send me an email if you find any errors or problems with them. I believe that all the modules below are public domain. Please let me know if there are any copyright issues.
E-Sword Version
The modules on this page will work with E-sword version 9.0 and above . If you have an older version of E-sword, you can upgrade to the latest version at the main E-sword website . I am no longer offering the older modules on my website.
Windows 7 Issue
Windows 7 and other new Windows operating systems create a directory called "Program Files (x86)" instead of the usual "Program Files" directory. My installer program puts the downloaded modules into "C:\Program Files\e-sword". Unfortunately your e-sword program under Windows 7 is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\e-sword" and so the module won't work. To fix this, if you are running Windows 7 or above, before clicking "Unzip" on my installer utility, click "Browse" first, choose the correct directory where the e-sword program is (the one with the "(x86)" in it) and then unzip it. This makes it more confusing but there is nothing I can do about it. Thanks.
Doctrinal Viewpoint
Most of the topic modules are from the Christian Universalist perspective. This is the belief that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men.
