The Unbound Bible

The dis-oriented author used to be in the Bible business. I worked in the Church group at Parsons Technology back in the day. While I didn't work directly on QuickVerse, the flagship Bible product. I worked on a Bible dictionary and a Bible atlas. Today I use the excellent Pocket Bible for pocket PC written by my good friends at Laridian.

I have been using electronic Bibles and concordances for so long that when I need a paper Bible, I have to borrow one from my kids.

Thanks to languagehat, I have found my favorite electronic Bible (and it's online).

The Unbound Bible at Biola University is the coolest thing since sliced bread. The Unbound Bible lets you search and view up to four parallel Bible Translations at once. This is not your normal KJV, NIV, NASB and RSV (in fact NIV is not included likely because of licensing). But where else can you see John 1:1 in English, Esperanto, Chamorro and Breton?

English (KJV)	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Chamorro	Y tutujonña gaegue y Finijo, ya y Finijo güiya yan si Yuus; ya y Finijo güiya si Yuus.
Esperanto	En la komenco estis la Vorto, kaj la Vorto estis kun Dio, kaj la Vorto estis Dio.
Breton	Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
