This tool has conversion to dollars (for those of us in the USA). Is it adjusted for inflation? Example: Right now the conversion for 1 denarius is $8. But someday that will be out of date. How often is this part of the tool updated?
Last updated 2023 according to its Info page, but that may not relate to your query. The conversion could be as ancient as 2014.
Not really directly related but this got me thinking … so this always puzzles me, should the value be taken at the numerical facet or the power of purchasing? or does it matter?
For example: 2000+ years ago 30 denarii can support 1 month of livelihood in average. 2000+ years later 3000 USD can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
For example:
2000+ years ago 30 denarii can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
2000+ years later 3000 USD can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
but the time and inflation grows in parallel…so does it mean that the numbers meant nothing? The essence is the same only the number changes, hmm… maybe I need some economy class… hope I'm making sense .
Given that 1 denarius = ancient Roman daily wage (for c. 6 hours), will 30 denarii support for one month and how many people are being supported? The equivalence is usually based on wages, where 1 denarius = $US 43.50

At least for the site, using minimum wage, rule of thumb, about 40% of minimum wage ($8+). That works out to $20k/year per worker.
But another article noted deficit spending was achieved by successive reductions in silver in each denarius. Not an easy equation.
I have a PDF that I would like to import, but I am kind of unclear how to do that. I watched a random video and he seemed to be saying that PDFs need to be changed to docx files first and then just uploaded as a PB? Is this correct? Is there a more practical way to do this? Thanks.
I teach with four other gentlemen and would like to print out the teaching schedule over the past year, which I've kept dutifully in the Sermon Manager. I can't see an easy way to print it out, copy it, or export it. Am I missing this, or it this an oversight bug?
For some reason when I hover my cursor over a word in my Bible the word is highlighted along with every other occurrence of that word in the window. (see picture) I don't know what I did to make that happen or how to stop it. Suggestions????
I was surprised to observe that inline interlinear capability does not appear to be offered with the Luther Bible RI. Very disappointed. If this can be addressed or explained I would appreciate it.
I’m trying to find the reformat option for BDAG. The videos I have seen show it under the formatting ribbon at the top of BDAG, but when I check my Mac I see the formatting ribbon, but the reformat option does not exist. If this option is available on either the Mac or the iPad, I would appreciate anyone who can tell me…
