Bill Dillon taught missionaries with New Tribes Mission for many years. His greatest emphasis was to always interpret the Bible in context. He was also the best and most accurate Bible teacher I have ever heard or read. It is in his honor that The Context Bible was named. Sitting under the teaching of Bill Dillon was a once in a lifetime experience. I listened to him for 3 hours a day for 2 weeks the first semester of training in New Tribes Mission and the same the second semester. I remember the first time it felt like my head was going to explode. I learned more about the Bible those few hours than all the rest of my life put together. The students would ask questions of him non-stop and he never once didn't know the answer, or the exact verses to answer them. I asked him what method he used to memorize the Bible, since he seemed to have it all memorized. He said he had no method. He just studied the Bible. He said before he started teaching, he studied 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for 10 years (all while having a full-time job). He didn't recommend doing this, since his family suffered. He would take a verse, write the clauses of it spaced down a page, then read it in as many translations as he could find, then read all the commentaries on it, then check dictionaries, concordances, word studies. He wrote down all that he learned on the sheet of paper, then started the next verse on another page. He said the commentary on Revelation took 10 years to write using this method. I developed the Context Bible (and now the Edit Bible) to facilitate this type of study. I hope someone uses it like that (probably in conjunction with other Bible software).

Thinker hypertext is much easier to edit and faster than web pages. Only what is displayed is loaded instantly into memory. You don't have to wait. While you are reading the Bible, mark the text and type in your notes and cross references. Then double-click on them to jump to them in the same or another window. You can add your notes after the verse in collapsible outline levels that can be hidden or shown locally or globally. Thus, you could put cross references at the first level below the verses, then alternate translations below that, commentary below that, etc. Thinker, the hypertext program powering the Context Bible, is capable of collaborative networking. This will allow a team of Bible translators or commentators to work together on large projects using a network or the Internet. You can edit it on the Internet just as if it were your hard drive. Others can also be reading the same book of the Bible as you are editing it, but they will have read-only access. You can set up your own account on .Mac or use a similar Internet file system, and share your password only with those you trust. There you could do collaborative work on translation, commentary, and other reference works with a team of people scattered around the globe.

In this example, links in "God's Work In God's Way" clicked on in one window will be instantly displayed in another window. There, cross references, notes, and text marking can be applied freely to the Bible.
Here, a cross reference is displayed two ways: 1. as a link to take you to another place in another file 2. as a see-thru link displaying the paragraph in the other file. This can be edited here, remotely making changes in the other file. This see-thru link to the topic file can be displayed in dozens of places in the Bible and edited from any of them. Any changes made will be seen in all the other places it is viewed. This see thru link could also be another verse in the same or another book of the Bible. Text in it could be underlined, bolded, or italicized and that marking would be applied in the remote location.
