Ilumina's Theological
Point of View
iLumina
is so packed with content that it comes on a DVD. It can be
fully installed to your computer, or run off of the DVD. Also included
is another
complete copy of the program on a set of CDs -just in case
your computer can't handle DVDs. This also allows you to
install it at home and on your office computer.

Sunday Software has
been following the Bible-ware market for years and comparing
titles. Nothing comes close to iLUMINA's multimedia
quality, content, and design. It's a true multimedia Bible,
and not
just a Bible database with a few pictures. This is a HUGE
collection of integrated study resources.
How are our customers using
iLumina?
Most of our customers who are buying Ilumina are getting it for themselves, or for another
adult. Many will project it for adult Bible class,
or use it to prepare their lessons. Pastors find
it very helpful, especially if they're doing research
for a sermon or study away from their office. We have
teachers using iLumina to introduce lessons to their
kids. And in some Sunday Schools, the older kids and
teens are using it to dig into their Bible lesson.
iLumina is too complex for children (up to about age
11), but they DO enjoy the media if they have the help
of a teacher or parent.
If you have
questions don't hesitate to
email me or chat with me
online.

| Theologically Speaking:
Ilumina's Life Application Study Notes,
commentaries, charts and Bible encyclopedia articles
(etc) come from Tyndale House Publishers,
---a traditional mainstream Christian publisher.
Most church people know them as the
publisher of the popular "Life Application
Bible" series, and Ilumina has full versions
of both the Life Application study notes and
Life Application Commentary.
In general the
'Life Application' material is very ecumenical. This
Presbyterian minister found only a few things I wish they had put
differently --which about the same percentage I encounter in the average
sermon! 
The Life Application Study Notes
and Commentary are very well written and insightful. They shy away being controversial
--tending towards a personal "life
application" emphasis.
One of my quick "litmus tests" with every
Bible CD is to go to the notes on the Creation story. The articles
and commentary accompanying the Creation passage in this CD do
make brief reference to the creation vs science debate. In the
graphic seen on this webpage, you can see the commentary notes
about "male and female," "image of God,"
and sexuality. I was pleased they grappled with this topic in
a balanced, non-confrontational style. Bible developers who split theological
hairs or court controversy don't last long, so I'll give them that.
Some Bible
students will not like the fact that the iLumina Bible takes a very
traditional approach to some authorship and dating issues.
In Genesis, the notes follow the traditional rabbinical teaching that the author was "Moses." Most students of the Bible know that
to be debatable. I would have preferred that
they were more mainstream in their attribution, but it's only a gnat in an otherwise
immense blessing of software.
Most of the
dozens upon dozens
of Bible Charts are good, and you can print them out as PDF study
documents for personal or classroom use!
The better informed you are, the more likely
you are to find topics or remarks you might
disagree with. But all in all, the vast
array of study materials in Ilumina are a
fount of blessing.
Tyndale's
New Living Translation
is an actual translation,
not the paraphrase that used to go by the name of the
"Living Bible." It is a very easy to read translation
and I recommend it highly for it's READABILITY. Click
here to read how the NLT version translations Genesis 1.

About Sunday Software:
Sunday Software has been providing detailed
reviews, recommendations and tech support to churches since
1996. Beginning as a ministry to Christian educators and pastors,
Sunday Software has been blessed to grow into the largest
producer of children and youth Bible story software and Bible games software.
We are no fly-by-night
discounter. We're here for the long haul. We provide expert tech
support for Ilumina, and can discuss your Bible software and
theological needs relative to this product. We plow software
profits back into the development of Bible software for
children. Here's a list of many of
our great children's Bible software programs.
Why we carry Ilumina:
As a minister myself, I've always
kept an eye on the "Bible-ware" market... looking for the best
multimedia Bible software available. I wanted a full-featured
Bible program on my laptop, --one that was visually engaging,
easy to use, and had real multimedia. Over the years I've used
many and seen most, and none come close to Ilumina as an
enjoyable yet DEEP program to use. I continue to get great feedback
from pastors and lay students who are using various Bible programs
and Ilumina. And most agree...Ilumina continues to lead
the pack.
Because the developer of Ilumina
often updates the program with technical and content tweaks, we have made a commitment to
sell the very LATEST VERSION of Ilumina. Unfortunately, some
distributors order once in large quantities or have "special
editions" made for ministry (which are mostly just the same
program with a different package and higher price!). However, we stay in
touch with the developers, and order in smaller quantities to
make sure we are getting Tyndale's latest version. <>< Neil
