I have decided to post a translated version of the Preface to the Spanish edition of my book A Practical Guide to Bible Software.

I hold the copyright to the book, so I might make other sections available online in due course. To be honest, I haven’t made my mind up yet as to whether I’ll try to publish it in English or, failing that, post some parts of it online. Either case, it would be a massive task, which would require lots of time (something I’m very short of!). I love writing, and enjoy translating, but I simply hate to translate myself. I really do. Although, come to think of it, it wouldn’t be exactly a translation. It would be more like an updated, revised and - for the most part - rewritten kind of book. Make sense?

Anyway, the original Spanish book was published by CLIE back in 2000 as part of the “Seminary Collection”, a series of books written for biblical and theological students. The preface was done by the two principals of the United Evangelical Seminary of Theology in Madrid (Spain). I thought it would be nice to give you a little hint of the original work’s intent. Hope you enjoy it!
