Diego: fix website address

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

====Bible Versions====
''Background: CrossWire volunteers may like to visit [http://bibles.wikidot.com/ The Internet Bible Catalog], an experiment in creating a web-based catalogue of existing Bible Translations.''

Another useful resource is the [http://www.biblecollectors.org/ International Society of Bible Collectors (ISBC)].

*Entire [[Wycliffe Bible]] (''c''. 1380), available from [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(Wycliffe) Wikisource], which in turn was provided by the [http://wesley.nnu.edu/biblical_studies/wycliffe/ Wesley Center Online]. The entire Wycliffe Bible can be downloaded as a single ZIP file containing 76 text files in VPL format. ''cf. The existing SWORD module is limited to the Pentateuch and the Gospels.''

*Complete Tyndale Bible, Not even the whole NT is available with SWORD, and also he translated the Pentateuch, and Jonah, and other books later published in Matthew's Bible.
::[http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/24890 Jonah] (1531)
::[http://www.pgdp.net/ Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders] is digitizing the Pentateuch (1530) (Genesis is almost done, but still being PP'ed) [http://wesley.nnu.edu/sermons-essays-books/william-tyndales-translation/ Wesley Center Online] also has all of Tyndale's translation, except those published posthumously (by Matthew Thomas). Both Tyndale and Wycliffe from the Wesley Center are the work of Sergej A. Fedosov.

::Some problems with Sergey's work is that he doesn't transcribe the line over vowels that represented a n, or m--so the text has a lot of hi meaning him, the meaning them, wet meaning went etc...where these are not spellings that the printer used. He also transcribes the þt, þe and such thorn symbols as ye, yt instead of the, that, etc...but transcribes the "and" symbol (&) as "and".

::Please remember that William Tyndale translated only the first 14 books of the Old Testament into English.

The translation is of a high quality and went into the public domain last year. The German Bible Society had updated orthography and punctuation, which is a non-copyrightable act, and reissued the bible in the 1990's, so it would be desirable to use their updated version. It was double-checked with them that this is legal and that the digital text of the Menge-Bibel as found on the [http://www.bibelwissenschaft.de/nc/online-bibeln/menge-bibel/lesen-im-bibeltext/bibelstelle/Gen%201/anzeige/context/#iv GBS websites] may be used freely, including for the purposes of making a module.

The New Testament (Common Cornish version), with a Commendation by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is now complete, and was published on 13 August 2004. Translation of the Old Testament is underway, with parts already published as separate booklets. Of all the Celtic languages, it was only Cornish that did not have its own translation of the Bible. This was a severe handicap: if the Bible had been translated perhaps the language would not have died.

* '''An Beybel Sans''', the first complete translation of the Bible into Cornish was published in August 2011. It was translated by Nicholas Williams, taking a total of 13 years to complete. Having completed the New Testament, Williams translated the Old Testament into Standard Cornish from various of sources, including Hebrew and Greek texts, starting with Leviticus, which he regarded as one of "the boring bits".

Module Requests

2012-06-15T12:18:55Z

Diego:

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

====Bible Versions====
''Background: CrossWire volunteers may like to visit [http://bibles.wikidot.com/ The Internet Bible Catalog], an experiment in creating a web-based catalogue of existing Bible Translations.''

The New Testament (Common Cornish version), with a Commendation by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is now complete, and was published on 13 August 2004. Translation of the Old Testament is underway, with parts already published as separate booklets. Of all the Celtic languages, it was only Cornish that did not have its own translation of the Bible. This was a severe handicap: if the Bible had been translated perhaps the language would not have died.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Ajayi_Crowther Samuel Ajayi Crowther] translated the whole Bible into Yoruba and concluded it in the mid 1880s—it is known as '''Bibeli Mimo'''. In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years. The current orthography of Yoruba derives from a 1966 report of the Yoruba Orthography Committee, along with Ayo Bamgbose's 1965 Yoruba Orthography, a study of the earlier orthographies and an attempt to bring Yoruba orthography in line with actual speech as much as possible. In 1957, BFBS reprinted Bibeli Mimo, using the 1909 edition of the OT and the 1930 revised edition of the NT.[http://www.language-archives.org/item/oai:gial.edu:986] ''The 1884 text of Bibeli Mimo must be public domain.

* Khmer New Testament (Cambodia). Khmer Christian Bible: Copyright '''Asia Bible Society''' and '''Words of Life Ministries''', 2010. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the project leader. An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel in 2008, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needed to be resolved by the translators. At that time, Khmer codepage coverage was not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source was being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC. Would need considerable effort to format shift into OSIS. Update (2011-02-03): the whole Khmer NT is now available. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has received a copy of the complete text for the NT, exported into Excel from the database kept on the Society's server. The server application was developed by Japanese programmers working for Asia Bible Society, and is probably one not known to most other translation agencies. Further update (2012-01-24). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has just been sent the finalised text for the Khmer NT as an Excel .xlsx file. It's essentially in tab separated verse per line format, similar in most respects to the file format used at Unbound Bible. It no longer has red letter markup. Character frequency analysis found a few quirks. These have been reported. The tsunami that hit Sendai, Japan in March 2011 devastated the Asia Bible Society. As a result, they are in a phase of re-grouping and may take many years to re-build. They gave Words of Life Ministries the full copyright to continue as they are not in a place to support them in technical aspects for some time. So they did not want that to hamper the translation work. Latest update: (2012-01-26) Minor errors all corrected. Module submitted to CrossWire.

* Hmong Bible (Laos, Vietnam, China, USA). See [http://www.hmongbible.org/ Hmong Bible Online], in which it is hoped that the Hmong Bible eventually be published online. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] is in contact with the web-master. The translation was published using QuarkXPress 4.0, after having been converted from WordPerfect 12 but with subsequent edits. Permissions are OK, subject to written conformation. Update (2012-01-24) In November 2011, [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] received the complete text for the Hmong NT as a .qxd file and has since begun work on preprocessing to USFM.

* Myanmar languages. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the [http://www.myanmarbible.com/bible/ Myanmar Bibles] website. The following languages are listed as available translations. Some are complete Bibles, the rest are NT only. OSIS files are already available for all these versions. I have started to work on some of them. (Some of these were converted [[File Formats#LaTeX|TeX]] into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Some of these files required further editing to correct & improve the OSIS markup. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project. Falam and Tedim would be the easiest to start with, as these use Latin script with no additional characters. ''Follow up is intended''.

There are several good on-line devotionals listed by the [http://www.apibs.org/devotions/devotions.htm Asia-Pacific Institute Of Biblical Studies]. Among them are the following.

* ''The Believer's Daily Remembrancer'' aka ''The Pastor's Morning Visit'' (1846), by James Smith (1802-1862). Digitization has already begun. [http://www.apibs.org/devotions/remembrancer/smith.htm].

====Lexicons====
*Unabridged [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown%E2%80%93Driver%E2%80%93Briggs Brown-Driver-Briggs] Hebrew Lexicon – worth researching; The text exists in electronic format, at least licensed. It's important that this not be the "Abridged BDBG" which is Larry Pierce's altered module.

*Logos [http://wbsa.logos.com/ What Does the Bible Say About] and [http://www.nelsonministryservices.com/nms/product_detail.asp?sku=1418502308 Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary], lightweight but potentially interesting and useful resources and (based on testing from text portions obtained from ebible.com) easy to convert to SWORD format. Contact attempted, see NKJV above. There are other resources possible here as well, on a more restricted basis at ebible.com, in the "New Illustrated" series (commentary, "topics"), any of which should be convertible.

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Henry_Thayer Thayer's] Greek Lexicon (no source known)

* Any of these [http://www.lexilogos.com/english/burmese_dictionary.htm Burmese dictionaries] would be useful to accompany the BurJudson Bible module. One of those listed is also by Adoniram Judson.

* '''HALOT''' – ''The Hebrew & Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament'', Ludwig Koehler, Walter Baumgartner and Johann Jakob Stamm, translated and edited under the supervision of M.E.J. Richardson. Copyright © 1994-2000 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands. All rights reserved. This is the standard Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon, essential for serious Old Testament exegetical work.

Module Requests

Diego:

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

====Bible Versions====
''Background: CrossWire volunteers may like to visit [http://bibles.wikidot.com/ The Internet Bible Catalog], an experiment in creating a web-based catalogue of existing Bible Translations.''

::Some problems with Sergey's work is that he doesn't transcribe the line over vowels that represented a n, or m--so the text has a lot of hi meaning him, the meaning them, wet meaning went etc...where these are not spellings that the printer used. He also transcribes the þt, þe and such thorn symbols as ye, yt instead of the, that, etc...but transcribes the "and" symbol (&) as "and".

===== Cornish Bibles =====

* The Cornish Bible Project http://www.bibelkernewek.com/ This project is run under the auspices of the Cornish Language Board, and the Bishop of Truro's Ecumenical Advisory Group for Services in Cornish. The translations are checked against the best editions of the Hebrew and Greek texts, and will be made available in both the Unified and Common Cornish spelling systems. The New Testament (Common Cornish version), with a Commendation by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is now complete, and was published on 13 August 2004. Translation of the Old Testament is underway, with parts already published as separate booklets. Of all the Celtic languages, it was only Cornish that did not have its own translation of the Bible. This was a severe handicap: if the Bible had been translated perhaps the language would not have died.

In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years. The current orthography of Yoruba derives from a 1966 report of the Yoruba Orthography Committee, along with Ayo Bamgbose's 1965 Yoruba Orthography, a study of the earlier orthographies and an attempt to bring Yoruba orthography in line with actual speech as much as possible. In 1957, BFBS reprinted Bibeli Mimo, using the 1909 edition of the OT and the 1930 revised edition of the NT.[http://www.language-archives.org/item/oai:gial.edu:986] ''The 1884 text of Bibeli Mimo must be public domain.

[[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with someone who has negotiated permissions. 2010-02-22 CrossWire has been granted distribution permissions for the KSZI as long as it is kept free of charge. This [http://mykitabsuci.org/en website] has the Psalms & NT available online, albeit with some minor errors and a couple of omissions.

* Khmer New Testament (Cambodia). Khmer Christian Bible: Copyright '''Asia Bible Society''' and '''Words of Life Ministries''', 2010. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the project leader. An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel in 2008, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needed to be resolved by the translators. At that time, Khmer codepage coverage was not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source was being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC. Would need considerable effort to format shift into OSIS. Update (2011-02-03): the whole Khmer NT is now available. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has received a copy of the complete text for the NT, exported into Excel from the database kept on the Society's server. The server application was developed by Japanese programmers working for Asia Bible Society, and is probably one not known to most other translation agencies. Further update (2012-01-24). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has just been sent the finalised text for the Khmer NT as an Excel .xlsx file. It's essentially in tab separated verse per line format, similar in most respects to the file format used at Unbound Bible. It no longer has red letter markup. Character frequency analysis found a few quirks. These have been reported. The tsunami that hit Sendai, Japan in March 2011 devastated the Asia Bible Society. As a result, they are in a phase of re-grouping and may take many years to re-build. They gave Words of Life Ministries the full copyright to continue as they are not in a place to support them in technical aspects for some time. So they did not want that to hamper the translation work. Latest update: (2012-01-26) Minor errors all corrected. Module submitted to CrossWire.

* Hmong Bible (Laos, Vietnam, China, USA). See [http://www.hmongbible.org/ Hmong Bible Online], in which it is hoped that the Hmong Bible eventually be published online. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] is in contact with the web-master. The translation was published using QuarkXPress 4.0, after having been converted from WordPerfect 12 but with subsequent edits. Permissions are OK, subject to written conformation. Update (2012-01-24) In November 2011, [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] received the complete text for the Hmong NT as a .qxd file and has since begun work on preprocessing to USFM.

* Myanmar languages. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the [http://www.myanmarbible.com/bible/ Myanmar Bibles] website. The following languages are listed as available translations. Some are complete Bibles, the rest are NT only. OSIS files are already available for all these versions. I have started to work on some of them. (Some of these were converted [[File Formats#LaTeX|TeX]] into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Some of these files required further editing to correct & improve the OSIS markup. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project. Falam and Tedim would be the easiest to start with, as these use Latin script with no additional characters. ''Follow up is intended''.

Diego: Updated 'Tradução Brasileira' status - Brazilian copyright law does not regard spelling update as a new work, therefore that translation is in public domain. WBTC version is Brazilian

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

The New Testament (Common Cornish version), with a Commendation by the Archbishop of Canterbury, is now complete, and was published on 13 August 2004. Translation of the Old Testament is underway, with parts already published as separate booklets. Of all the Celtic languages, it was only Cornish that did not have its own translation of the Bible. This was a severe handicap: if the Bible had been translated perhaps the language would not have died.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Ajayi_Crowther Samuel Ajayi Crowther] translated the whole Bible into Yoruba and concluded it in the mid 1880s—it is known as '''Bibeli Mimo'''. In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years. The current orthography of Yoruba derives from a 1966 report of the Yoruba Orthography Committee, along with Ayo Bamgbose's 1965 Yoruba Orthography, a study of the earlier orthographies and an attempt to bring Yoruba orthography in line with actual speech as much as possible. In 1957, BFBS reprinted Bibeli Mimo, using the 1909 edition of the OT and the 1930 revised edition of the NT.[http://www.language-archives.org/item/oai:gial.edu:986] ''The 1884 text of Bibeli Mimo must be public domain.

* Khmer New Testament (Cambodia). Khmer Christian Bible: Copyright '''Asia Bible Society''' and '''Words of Life Ministries''', 2010. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the project leader. An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel in 2008, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needed to be resolved by the translators. At that time, Khmer codepage coverage was not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source was being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC. Would need considerable effort to format shift into OSIS. Update (2011-02-03): the whole Khmer NT is now available. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has received a copy of the complete text for the NT, exported into Excel from the database kept on the Society's server. The server application was developed by Japanese programmers working for Asia Bible Society, and is probably one not known to most other translation agencies.

[[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] is in contact with the web-master. The translation was published using QuarkXPress 4.0, after having been converted from WordPerfect 12 but with subsequent edits. Permissions are OK, subject to written conformation.

* Myanmar languages. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the [http://www.myanmarbible.com/bible/ Myanmar Bibles] website. The following languages are listed as available translations. Some are complete Bibles, the rest are NT only. OSIS files are already available for all these versions. I have started to work on some of them. (Some of these were converted [[File Formats#LaTeX|TeX]] into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Some of these files required further editing to correct & improve the OSIS markup. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project.

Diego: /* What happened to the Portuguese module? */

This FAQ is '''not''' linked from the CrossWire front page. Instead a [http://www.crosswire.org/faq.jsp static copy] is taken from time to time from this page to ensure that the publicly presented FAQ is not easily vandalized, presents in the same style as the main page and does not contain draft text.

==Public Community Forums and other places for help==
CrossWire has public forums for our users to exchange tips and help each other. It is likely your question has been asked previously on our forums. You might even find some unexpected gems or post a few of your own: http://crosswire.org/forums

http://www.crosswire.org is our main page. Scroll down to see the list of software and links to their home pages. Many applications have their own support systems and FAQs.

We have a support mailing list, sword-support at crosswire.org. Other users can not see your question and answer it and users can not get benefit from previous answers. Therefore the forums are recommended. If you for some reason can not or do not want to use forums you can send private email to our support list. Whatever support tool you use, please read this FAQ and other documentation first.

==End user FAQ==
Here are some commonly asked questions about the CrossWire Bible Society and The SWORD Project and answers to them.

===Questions about CrossWire===

====What is CrossWire?====
CrossWire is a non-commercial organization which produces Bible related Free Software. We have several software products. We also have numerous text modules (Bible translations, commentaries, lexicons, ...) which can be used with our software. All products are made by individual volunteers who may or may not know each other's work. Therefore it is important that you first know which product you have questions about. Then you can select the category and question below. If your question is not answered here and you have to ask us directly, please attach as much information about your problem as possible, especially about the product you are using. Considering the volume of mail we receive daily and the few workers we have to answer support emails, vague email and email that asks questions clearly answered on this page are likely to go unanswered.

====When was CrossWire founded?====
:''Troy, please answer this one, asap''.

====What is SWORD?====
'''SWORD''' is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface Application Programming Interface] (API) for CrossWire modules. When referring to SWORD it is customary to use all uppercase. It is sometimes referred to as the SWORD engine. It should not be confused with one of our front-end applications called '''The Sword Project for Windows'''.

====Is SWORD the same as e-Sword?====

Short answer: No!

Long answer: CrossWire has no connection with that provider of proprietary Bible Study software for the Windows platform. CrossWire software is open-source and multi-platform.

===Questions about text modules===

====Do you or will you have NIV/NASB/NLT/Message/NKJV/other translation?====
NASB is under work and will be sold commercially by The Lockman Foundation.

Most other copyright holders, including the publisher of the NIV, have not been interested in publishing their material in our format even when they could get money out of it. ''Strange world, isn't it?''

Some people recommend using a couple of good modern freely available translations instead. The ESV and NET are both high quality translations.

The ESV is a word-for-word "essentially literal" translation which continues the KJV legacy but is based on modern textual criticism. It is freely [http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=ESV downloadable from our repositories].

The NET uses a more dynamic equivalence principle and is downloadable from [http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=3086 bible.org] in either a free (with registration) version containing limited notes or a premium ($20) version with the full NET translation note set.

====Do you have the original King James/Authorized Version?====
The original Authorized Version, also known as the King James Version, was published in 1611. This text is nearly unreadable to most modern readers. For an example of it, see [[KJV 1611]]. What we have is the 1769 version, that is the basis of today's printed versions, and that most people wrongly call the original.

====What happened to the Portuguese module?====
Our first Portuguese module was removed because it was not what it claimed to be and had errors.

Here is a quote from our forum discussions: "...there is no such thing as the "João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada". It's a corrupted copyrighted text, probably renamed to hide its source. There are numerous discussions of this issue to be found around the web, for example: http://pt.wikisource.org/wiki/Discuss%C3%A3o:Ferreira_de_Almeida_Atualizada

I have checked the "João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada" text against a number of Portuguese translations (both in print and in electronic editions). It is clearly derivative of copyrighted texts but I have not found any text by that title to exist. You don't have to take my word for it, but you will be wasting your time if you don't."

So far we have one unfinished translation (''Bíblia Livre''), and we are in the process of producing two new high quality Portuguese modules from modern texts.

====Where are the deuterocanonical books and the apocrypha?====
Bibles containing the deuterocanonical books and apocrypha are currently in testing and are supported by a growing number of SWORD front-ends.

====May I use Sword Modules on my website?====
While our software can be freely redistributed, many modules have been licensed to Crosswire for distribution. To use those modules, you will need to obtain permission for yourself.

====How do I convert Sword modules to text?====
We would like to discourage this. Please work with us in making our software better.

But, if you really need the text, each module has a conf file which will tell you about the origin of the text. Please obtain the source the same way we did. You may not convert the modules that have been licensed to CrossWire for distribution. The KJV module is the only one for which we maintain the source, which you can obtain [http://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2006 here].

====How do I convert modules from other Bible software (e.g. e-Sword, BibleWorks, or OLB) into Sword modules?====
The SWORD Project does not support the conversion of texts from other Bible software vendors. By that, we mean that we encourage neither you nor others to convert material from other software because it may violate licensing or copyright restrictions. Nor can we provide any assistance to those who choose to convert such material.

====I have purchased and lost a key to a locked module. Can you tell me what it is?====
The SWORD Project does not sell or handle locked module keys. You should contact the module vendor for help in this matter.

====My Personal module shows some strange text, why?====
For a while, there was a bug in the configuration file (mods.d\personal.conf) of the Personal module. You can download and re-install the latest version but you will lose any personal notes you have made. Alternatively, you can just replace the configuration file with the new one or open it in any text editor to remove the line reading "SourceType=ThML".

====I've found an error/bug. How do I report it?====
Please email sword-bugs@crosswire.org with any bug reports. Please try to provide as much information as possible when filing a bug report: Tell us which version of Sword you are using, your operating system, and where you found the error. (Before reporting module errors, please verify that you are using the most recent version of the module using the install manager in your front-end.)

===Questions about what we do for free or for money===

====Would you send me free Bibles or other material?====
No, we cannot send you free Bibles or other literature. Even though you may have read on other sites that we are able to help you get free material, that is not true. There is no money involved in our work and we handle only electronic material. All our products are freely downloadable on our web site (or their own web sites) and that is all we do.

====Can I donate to your ministry?====
While we appreciate offers of donations, the SWORD Project does not solicit or accept such offers. We have been blessed already by the donation of those resources which we do use. If you feel the need to donate to ministries outside your local church, you might consider [http://www.compassion.com/ Compassion International], [http://www.habitat.org/ Habitat for Humanity], [http://www.wycliffe.org/ Wycliffe Bible Translators], or [http://www.ccel.org Christian Classics Ethereal Library].

====Would you donate to my ministry?====
As our project does not solicit or accept donations and does not itself produce any profit, we do not have monetary or other resources to offer to other ministries either (besides downloadable resources).

====Can I sell advertising on your website?====
No, we do not allow advertising on our website, as you might have noticed.

====Will you allow me to link to your website on my website in exchange for linking mine on yours?====
You may link to our website, including to our [http://www.crosswire.org/study BibleTool]. However, we do not do link exchanges.

====Where's my CD?====
*NEEDS ATTENTION*

===Questions about the platforms our software runs upon ===

Our software is designed from ground up to be multiplatform. You will be able to use the same modules on practically all commonly used computers and operating systems. You can run it on many mobile gadgets, you can run it as web applications.

==== Do you have a Sword program for my phone or PDA? ====

* For Android, iPhone, Windows Pocket PC, Maemo, Windows Mobile, Zaurus and iPaq running QPE or Opie please look [http://www.crosswire.org/applications.jsp?section=Handhelds here].
* Palm users are encouraged to consider the non-Sword Bible program [http://palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/ Palm Bible+].
* For phones with Java ME capability, users are encouraged to consider the Bible program [http://go-bible.org/ Go Bible], which is now a [[User:David Haslam|CrossWire project]], but it is not a SWORD/JSword front-end application ''per se''.
* For phones with Symbian OS (but without Java ME), we do not yet have a suggested solution.

====Do you have a "portable" version of your software that I can run from a USB disk/stick (or some other place)?====
[http://portableapps.com/apps/education/bpbible_portable BPBible Portable], the portable version of [http://www.bpbible.com/ BPBible], is an official [http://portableapps.com/ PortableApp], which integrates properly with the [http://portableapps.com/suite PortableApps suite].

The SWORD Project for Windows is entirely installed under one folder, including the modules. You can copy it anywhere as it is and run the program from there. You can even move the folder from one computer to another or to a networked drive.

If you routinely use Windows, Linux and/or Mac, you may want to consider [http://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/bd Portable BibleDesktop].

====I love your [http://www.crosswire.org/study/| Bible Tool]. May I install it on my church's website?====
Yes. But while our software can be used in any way you wish, many of our modules may not.

===Questions about the use of our software===

If you don't find an answer to your question here and want to ask directly, PLEASE TELL US WHAT SOFTWARE YOU ARE USING. There are many products related to CrossWire. The most common is The Sword Project for Windows. It's extremely difficult to answer a question such as "I'm trying to open a Bible but it doesn't work" if we don't even know which application you are using. It also helps if you attach as much exact information about your problem as possible, for example, "After I have opened the program I select action A from the menu and click button B, but it does nothing". NOT something like "I can't do C".

Many problems are due to outdated software or text modules. Please check first which version you are running. Notice also your operating system and version.

====How do I uninstall?====
The SWORD Project for Windows has an uninstaller which should be in the same place as the program. You can also just delete the folder and possible menu entries.

====When I read the Syriac Peshitta, Hebrew Bible, or (another module), all I see are boxes.====
You need to install a Unicode font with the full range of characters used in the module you are trying to read.

====I've found a bug. How do I report it?====
Please email sword-bugs@crosswire.org with any bug reports. Please try to provide as much information as possible when filing a bug report: Tell us which version of Sword you are using, your operating system, what you were trying to do, what you expected to happen, what happened, how to reproduce the bug, etc.

====Why doesn't your program do such and such? I'd like to see this feature added. If it had this feature it would be more competitive with other programs.====
Yes, it would be nice, but this is a volunteer based project, and we do this in our free time. Help if you can and give feedback. We know that complaining is always a temptation, but instead, please pray for us. That is the best way to help the project.

====How do I do something in MacSword? BibleTime? Xiphos? BibleDesktop? The SWORD Project for Windows?====
There are links to each of the projects on [[Main Page]] of this Wiki. Please read their attached documentation and the other supporting material for the project you are using. You may need to go to their website to find this. Many problems will be solved by reading the documentation and following the instructions. After that use the support forum/list/pages of that project. After that you can ask your question in our forum or our support list.

====Somebody sells your software on the Internet. Is this ok?====
It's not forbidden to sell [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html Free Software]. However, according to the licence, the source code must be included. Some people also sell free software without revealing that it is also available for free, and we do not condone such action.

Module Requests

2010-10-29T16:32:07Z

Diego: /* Brazilian */ Bíblia Livre module is available

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years.

In 1957, BFBS reprinted Bibeli Mimo, using the 1909 edition of the OT and the 1930 revised edition of the NT.[http://www.language-archives.org/item/oai:gial.edu:986] ''The 1884 text of Bibeli Mimo must be public domain.

This [http://mykitabsuci.org/en website] has the Psalms & NT available online, albeit with some minor errors and a couple of omissions.

* Khmer New Testament (Cambodia). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the project leader. An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needs to be resolved by the translators. Khmer codepage coverage is not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source is being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC. Would need considerable effort to format shift into OSIS.

* Hmong Bible (Laos, Vietnam, China, USA). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has found a [http://www.hmongbible.org/ Hmong Bible Online] website, in which it is hoped that the Hmong Bible eventually be published online. ''Contact being sought''.

* Myanmar languages. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the [http://www.myanmarbible.com/bible/ Myanmar Bibles] website. The following languages are listed as available translations. OSIS files are already available for all these versions, though I have not yet had time to work on any of them. (Some of these were converted from TeX into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project. Tedim would be the easiest to start with, as that uses Latin script with no additional characters. ''Follow up is intended''.

"The Myanmar Bible Software Project involved the cooperative effort of volunteers from various nations with a variety of specialized skills e.g. Myanmar languages consultants, Bible translations, software programming, led by Levi Sap Nei Thang. The project is built upon the invaluable foundations of the work of many generations of Bible translators and Bible Societies. We seek to develop software that will eventually serve as a Biblical Resource tool for Myanmar, Bible readers, Christians, church leaders, pastors and church planters. Currently, basic Bible software is available in most major languages of the world. Bible software provides the advantage for people not only to study the word in multiple languages. It also provide to opportunity to incorporate biblical references material such as concordance, dictionary and others to help us deepen our knowledge in the word of God."

Module Requests

2010-09-29T17:47:03Z

Diego: /* Brazilian */

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

====Bible Versions====
''Background: CrossWire volunteers may like to visit [http://bibles.wikidot.com/ The Internet Bible Catalog], an experiment in creating a web-based catalogue of existing Bible Translations.''

::Some problems with Sergey's work is that he doesn't transcribe the line over vowels that represented a n, or m--so the text has a lot of hi meaning him, the meaning them, wet meaning went etc...where these are not spellings that the printer used. He also transcribes the þt, þe and such thorn symbols as ye, yt instead of the, that, etc...but transcribes the "and" symbol (&) as "and".

An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needs to be resolved by the translators. Khmer codepage coverage is not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source is being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC.

OSIS files are already available for all these versions, though I have not yet had time to work on any of them. (Some of these were converted from TeX into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project.

"The Myanmar Bible Software Project involved the cooperative effort of volunteers from various nations with a variety of specialized skills e.g. Myanmar languages consultants, Bible translations, software programming, led by Levi Sap Nei Thang. The project is built upon the invaluable foundations of the work of many generations of Bible translators and Bible Societies. We seek to develop software that will eventually serve as a Biblical Resource tool for Myanmar, Bible readers, Christians, church leaders, pastors and church planters. Currently, basic Bible software is available in most major languages of the world. Bible software provides the advantage for people not only to study the word in multiple languages. It also provide to opportunity to incorporate biblical references material such as concordance, dictionary and others to help us deepen our knowledge in the word of God."

Module Requests

2010-09-29T17:46:45Z

Diego: /* Brazilian */

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

====Bible Versions====

In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years.

"The Myanmar Bible Software Project involved the cooperative effort of volunteers from various nations with a variety of specialized skills e.g. Myanmar languages consultants, Bible translations, software programming, led by Levi Sap Nei Thang. The project is built upon the invaluable foundations of the work of many generations of Bible translators and Bible Societies. We seek to develop software that will eventually serve as a Biblical Resource tool for Myanmar, Bible readers, Christians, church leaders, pastors and church planters. Currently, basic Bible software is available in most major languages of the world. Bible software provides the advantage for people not only to study the word in multiple languages. It also provide to opportunity to incorporate biblical references material such as concordance, dictionary and others to help us deepen our knowledge in the word of God."

Non-CrossWire Text-Development Projects

2010-07-03T17:47:43Z

Diego:

==Introduction==

The CrossWire Bible Society's purpose is to develop Bible software. Part of what makes great software is the availability of great content: Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, atlases, and other books. CrossWire depends on the availability of great content produced by others--we generally do not produce our own original content.

Other projects around the Web have been started to produce electronic editions of texts that we would love to see incorporated into SWORD. The following are a list of links to such projects. Involvement in these projects does not usually require a great deal of technical expertise, so we strongly encourage people who want to help SWORD improve but who don't feel prepared to contribute by writing code to contribute their time and work to these projects.

Some of these projects have a limited scope (perhaps just one book) while others serve as repositories for massive collections of texts. All links are just suggestions. If you find additional projects or particular works being produced by those projects, please add them to the list.

The cornerstone of the project is the translation of Poole's massive ''Synopsis Criticorum'' (Synopsis of Interpreters), making it available in English for the first time. This is an ongoing translation project. The translation work is being undertaken by Pastor Steven Dilday. He holds a Ph.D. Degree in Puritan History and Literature from Whitefield Theological Seminary. This work was drawn to my attention by reading Victor Perry's review in The Banner of Truth magazine (issue 547, April 2009). So far the first 5 volumes have been translated. These are available in print through Lulu.com, or to purchase as downloads at much lower cost. There are some samples available as free downloads.

:* Encyclopedia Puritannica – http://www.puritannica.com/
::* The Encyclopedia Puritannica Project (EPP) is an federation of Christians committed to the orthodox truths of Scripture. We believe these truths to be well understood, articulated, and applied by the Puritans and other Reformed teachers, both past and present. Many of these works have been forgotten by the modern church and thus, have become practically inaccessible. It is our desire to see these works go forth to the nations once again. This project, begun in 1997, is dedicated to the accomplishment of this task. Our goal is to make faithful digital copies of these works available to Christians once again.

:* [http://www.d.umn.edu/lib/bible/ The Ramseyer-Northern Bible Society Collection] was the hobby and intense interest of the Rev. Henry E. Ramseyer, who was from 1918 until his death in 1945 the Secretary of the Northern Bible Society. He was born in Ontario in 1873, moved in his youth to Michigan, and studied theology at Blufton College in Ohio. He became a minister in 1896 and, coming somewhat by chance to Duluth Minnesota in 1898, he decided that his life's work would be to minister to the lumber and mining camps then developing in northern Minnesota. In Duluth itself he also found a lack of ministry to the poor and homeless, and founded a branch of the Bethel Society, raising funds for the construction of a building which still stands. In 1918, he expanded the work of missions to the workers in northern Minnesota by founding the Northern Bible Society, with the objective of providing the Scriptures to all, at little or no cost, in the languages of their origins. In 1932, the Society erected the Bible House, and in it they had their headquarters, a Book and Bible Shop, and space for the public display of Rev. Ramseyer's private collection.

Module Requests

2010-05-19T15:53:40Z

Diego:

Here is a place to request modules you would like to be made. If the copyright holder has been contacted, the permissions granted or not can be put here.

New modules are made largely on the basis of content availability and distributability. If you have a link to new material in the public domain, adding it here is a good way of notifying us of its availability. However there is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in creating a module from that material. If you want to see a new module, your quickest results will come from encoding it in OSIS yourself and submitting that to us.

If you would like to see the addition of text currently under copyright and have not made any attempt to get permission for distribution, there is no point to adding it here and the addition will likely be removed. If you only have a link to non-text material (images, PDFs, etc.), there is no point to adding it here and it will likely be removed.

*Hausa Bible. [http://visionneuse.free.fr/download/hausa.zip]

*[http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/HausaBible/HausaBible.htm The Deutero-Canonical Books of the Bible in Hausa.] – Translated by Musa Danjuma and Joseph Kenny, O.P., published by the United Bible Societies, 1979. Also available here [http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/IndexChristian.htm] are The Psalms and Canticles in Hausa, by the same translators (2001).

*Yoruba Bible (1884). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Ajayi_Crowther Samuel Ajayi Crowther] translated the whole Bible into Yoruba and concluded it in the mid 1880s—it is known as '''Bibeli Mimo'''. In 1875 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) organized a conference on Yoruba Orthography; the standard devised there was the basis for the orthography of the steady flow of religious and educational literature over the next seventy years. The current orthography of Yoruba derives from a 1966 report of the Yoruba Orthography Committee, along with Ayo Bamgbose's 1965 Yoruba Orthography, a study of the earlier orthographies and an attempt to bring Yoruba orthography in line with actual speech as much as possible. In 1957, BFBS reprinted Bibeli Mimo, using the 1909 edition of the OT and the 1930 revised edition of the NT.[http://www.language-archives.org/item/oai:gial.edu:986] ''The 1884 text of Bibeli Mimo must be public domain.

=====Asian Languages=====

It would be helpful to the churches in Central Asia, South Asia and South East Asia if Bible modules can be developed for the languages of these regions. CrossWire volunteers who have a particular interest in Asia should be seeking opportunities to obtain permissions and offering our services to the Bible agencies working in the regions.

Yesudas Solomon has assisted in making the Go Bible application. ''Need to obtain the digitized text in a convertible format''.

The following four Indian languages Bibles are available as Java ME mobile phone applications made using Go Bible Creator [http://www.christiansmobile.com/]. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the producer, Yesudas Solomon, who is based in Tamilnadu. I have suggested that he also considers to make SWORD modules.

*Hindi Bible

*Tamil Bible (also Catholic Tamil version)

*Malayalam Bible

*Kannada Bible (KJV and BSI versions)

*Telugu Bible

The text sources for these were used by direct permissions of the translators, even though the Bible Society of India has been unresponsive.

*Marathi New Testament – translated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratnakar_Hari_Kelkar Ratnakar Hari Kelkar]. The full text is available in PDF format at [http://navakarar.wordpress.com/]. ''Need to establish contact with the copyright owner, Prof. R. R. Kelkar, Pune, India''.

*Bengali Bible – the Bengali Old Version Bible was first published in 1909. This date may mean that copyright on the text has expired. A digitized edition is available online at [http://www.biblesocietybd.org/ Bangladesh Bible Society] in PDF format. This requires the [http://www.sentbd.com/Bangla/ SutonnyMJ] font, which is not a Unicode font. ''Worth further research''.

======South East Asia======
* New Malay Bible - Kitab Suci Zabur & Injil (KSZI) translation, copyright © 2008 Pengamat Kitab Mulia, Jakarta, Indonesia. Translation of the OT (Taurat) is an ongoing work. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with someone who has negotiated permissions. 2010-02-22 CrossWire has been granted distribution permissions for the KSZI as long as it is kept free of charge. This [http://mykitabsuci.org/en website] has the Psalms & NT available online, albeit with some minor errors and a couple of omissions.

* Khmer New Testament (Cambodia). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the project leader. An issue with ligatures surfaced when doing a Go Bible feasibility demo of Matthew's Gospel, but apart from that everything was fine. This issue needs to be resolved by the translators. Khmer codepage coverage is not yet completely finalised in the official Unicode standard. Khmer text source is being edited by translators using MS Excel, rather than something more common (USFM) among Bible translators. Red letters used for WoC. Would need considerable effort to format shift into OSIS.

* Hmong Bible (Laos, Vietnam, China, USA). [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has found a [http://www.hmongbible.org/ Hmong Bible Online] website, in which it is hoped that the Hmong Bible eventually be published online. ''Contact being sought''.

* Myanmar languages. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] has contact with the [http://www.myanmarbible.com/bible/ Myanmar Bibles] website. The following languages are listed as available translations. OSIS files are already available for all these versions, though I have not yet had time to work on any of them. (Some of these were converted from TeX into OSIS by bibleTec2osis.pl). There is a separate XML file for each book of the Bible. Back in June 2008, there was definite interest for Go Bible, and I imagine they would be also interested for the SWORD project. Tedim would be the easiest to start with, as that uses Latin script with no additional characters. ''Follow up is intended''.

"The Myanmar Bible Software Project involved the cooperative effort of volunteers from various nations with a variety of specialized skills e.g. Myanmar languages consultants, Bible translations, software programming, led by Levi Sap Nei Thang. The project is built upon the invaluable foundations of the work of many generations of Bible translators and Bible Societies. We seek to develop software that will eventually serve as a Biblical Resource tool for Myanmar, Bible readers, Christians, church leaders, pastors and church planters. Currently, basic Bible software is available in most major languages of the world. Bible software provides the advantage for people not only to study the word in multiple languages. It also provide to opportunity to incorporate biblical references material such as concordance, dictionary and others to help us deepen our knowledge in the word of God."

The module is encoded such that it can be used in The SWORD Project for Windows only (and no other front-end, including other front-ends running on Windows). Since it is a copyrighted work being offered for free, I'm not sure if improvements would be updated on their site.

=== Bible Vietnam ===

=== Slovakian ===
[http://www.kristus.sk/biblia/ kristus.sk] has the SSV translation available to download as a SWORD module called SvkPS. The published Catholic SSV translation contains deuterocanonical books, but this first module edition does not. One with [[Alternate Versification]] is in the pipeline.

The same web-page also has Slovak & Czech Bibles for download in other electronic editions, including Go Bible.

=== Institute for Bible Translation ===
The [http://www.ibt.org.ru/english/bible/info_bible_en.htm Institute for Bible Translation] provides a number of translations in various Turkic languages of Central Asia. Currently these include Karakalpak, Turkmen (both Latin & Cyrillic), Uzbek (both Latin & Cyrillic), and Kyrgyz (both Arabic & Cyrillic). Alongside these translations are modules for English, Russian and the original Bible languages (Hebrew and Greek). Further modules are in preparation.

Note: Although they appear to be SWORD modules, and SWORD modules work on their MK program, these modules do not work on standard SWORD software. This is because the MK program is based on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_fork fork] of the SWORD engine source code, adapted to seamlessly provide dual versification for a variant of the Russian Synodal Translation (RST) versification and that of the KJV. Central Asian translations generally follow the RST. With the advent of [[Alternate Versification]] in SWORD, it is envisaged that the MK program may eventually become fully compatible, though the modules currently available from IBT will never be compatible with any release of SWORD from CrossWire.

=== Paite e-Holy Bible ===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paite Paite] is spoken in parts of North East India, Burma & Bangladesh. The Paite e-Holy Bible version 2 (2008-12-17) is available from [http://www.zogamonline.com/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=156 Paite E-Holy Bible]. It is possible to display the Paite module in other SWORD front-end applications for Windows by copying the installed files to the SWORD path.

Non-CrossWire Text-Development Projects

2010-03-03T00:06:01Z

Diego: /* Individual Works */

==Introduction==

The CrossWire Bible Society's purpose is to develop Bible software. Part of what makes great software is the availability of great content: Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, atlases, and other books. CrossWire depends on the availability of great content produced by others--we generally do not produce our own original content.

Other projects around the Web have been started to produce electronic editions of texts that we would love to see incorporated into SWORD. The following are a list of links to such projects. Involvement in these projects does not usually require a great deal of technical expertise, so we strongly encourage people who want to help SWORD improve but who don't feel prepared to contribute by writing code to contribute their time and work to these projects.

Some of these projects have a limited scope (perhaps just one book) while others serve as repositories for massive collections of texts. All links are just suggestions. If you find additional projects or particular works being produced by those projects, please add them to the list.

This is an ongoing translation project. The translation work is being undertaken by Pastor Steven Dilday. He holds a Ph.D. Degree in Puritan History and Literature from Whitefield Theological Seminary. This work was drawn to my attention by reading Victor Perry's review in The Banner of Truth magazine (issue 547, April 2009). So far the first 5 volumes have been translated. These are available in print through Lulu.com, or to purchase as downloads at much lower cost. There are some samples available as free downloads.

:* Encyclopedia Puritannica – http://www.puritannica.com/
::* The Encyclopedia Puritannica Project (EPP) is an federation of Christians committed to the orthodox truths of Scripture. We believe these truths to be well understood, articulated, and applied by the Puritans and other Reformed teachers, both past and present. Many of these works have been forgotten by the modern church and thus, have become practically inaccessible. It is our desire to see these works go forth to the nations once again. This project, begun in 1997, is dedicated to the accomplishment of this task. Our goal is to make faithful digital copies of these works available to Christians once again.

==Museums==

:* [http://www.d.umn.edu/lib/bible/ The Ramseyer-Northern Bible Society Collection] was the hobby and intense interest of the Rev. Henry E. Ramseyer, who was from 1918 until his death in 1945 the Secretary of the Northern Bible Society. He was born in Ontario in 1873, moved in his youth to Michigan, and studied theology at Blufton College in Ohio. He became a minister in 1896 and, coming somewhat by chance to Duluth Minnesota in 1898, he decided that his life's work would be to minister to the lumber and mining camps then developing in northern Minnesota. In Duluth itself he also found a lack of ministry to the poor and homeless, and founded a branch of the Bethel Society, raising funds for the construction of a building which still stands. In 1918, he expanded the work of missions to the workers in northern Minnesota by founding the Northern Bible Society, with the objective of providing the Scriptures to all, at little or no cost, in the languages of their origins. In 1932, the Society erected the Bible House, and in it they had their headquarters, a Book and Bible Shop, and space for the public display of Rev. Ramseyer's private collection.
