Bible Question: I have a question on a slightly different topic here. I'm writing some software which allows access to text from mobile devices (phones, etc). One of the good uses I thought of for this program would be to make scripture available. The good news about that is that there are several different texts available which are off copyright. The bad news is that I have no idea which one I should go with. I want to use whichever text I can use for free (legally) while at the same time choosing text that is most accepted by Americans. I think the KJV is beautiful, and it is free, but is it what Americans would be comfortable with? What are my other options? I appreciate any suggestions. I'm somewhat of a newbie on this area. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Techguy, I believe the American Standard Version is also available off copyright. Maybe you could have different versions available and let the user decide which format they would prefer. I believe your referencing would be done by Book, Chapter and Verse, so whichever one they would pick, the referencing index would be the same. In your question you seem to like the word "free", is your work going to be freely given also? The "newbie" you refer to, is it new to the Scriptures or to the programming or to the marketing? Zondervan has a NIV available for phones. Also, you could do a Google search. Tip: use "phone bible mobile" (without the quotes) for Google. Check the other shareware or freeware sites, ZDNet, PCWorld, etc. for more info. Mat 10:8 (KJV) "...freely ye received, freely give" Hope this helps, terrib |
