Verbum turns your phone, tablet, and computer into a searchable seminary library, and when Verbum finds what you’re looking for, it cites it too. Just choose a citation style, and Verbum automatically includes the citation when you paste a quotation. And when you travel to a conference to deliver your paper, any device with Verbum lets you take a library with you in your carry-on.
Verbum reads Latin, Greek, and Hebrew for you, defining lemmas and parsing words with a host of lexica and grammars. What would require an entire bookcase of reference materials happens in a few clicks.
Verbum interlinks the whole history of biblical commentary and theology in the Church. Resources in Verbum are not merely ebooks: texts are tagged so that when St. Thomas mentions St. Augustine or St. Augustine refers to Ezekiel, a single click reveals the reference.
We’ve designed collections of resources and tools for Catholic scholars and students of biblical studies and theology, as well as an exclusive collection that’s used at the Biblicum in Rome. Theology collections coming soon.

"Verbum 8 is the most powerful software in the world to study the Scriptures and our rich Catholic tradition. I use it every day and highly recommend it!"
“Over 80 seminarians, faculty, and commuter students at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit purchased Verbum. It is a wonderful tool. The live links to Scripture, the Catechism, other magisterial documents, various translations, and other Scripture resources make it a breeze to use, not only on a computer, but on all kinds of devices.”
“Verbum illuminates the text of sacred Scripture with valuable sources from our Tradition, allowing us to study the Word of God in symphony with the fathers, doctors, and saints, and in harmony with the Magisterium. What is more, Verbum enables you to enter more deeply into the biblical text itself—studying the Greek or Hebrew, even for those with limited knowledge of these languages.”
