Useful, but nothing special in my opinion.
I find it to be interesting, educational, and entertaining as an English-only speaker/reader, to see every nuance and shade of meaning in the original language. You may want to pack a lunch if you plan to read whole chapters in a single sitting. [:D]
Just another gimmick. The inline notation introduce much unnecessary clutter into the text making meaningful reading almost impossible. Many of these notations are self-evident, i.e., they add nothing to the understanding of the text. For instance, in Matthew 2:4
[quote]Herod •called a meeting of [assembled] all the •leading [chief] priests and •teachers of the law [scribes] and• asked [inquired of] them where the •Christ [Messiah] would be born
Now, someone could possibly make a case for the notations scribes and Messiah, but the others are redundant and unnecessary clutter. Personally, if someone gave it to me, I would hide it.
Looks interesting, but not sure how helpful it will be.
I grabbed it just recently so haven't had much play with it yet.
So far it comes across like an updated Amplified Bible which I do find useful at times.
