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.
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 if they fulfill following criteria:
- The texts described are actually available - not just in image form, but in some form of easily accessible format.
- The texts are freely licensed (or if distribution permissions have been sought and obtained).
Individual Bible Works or small collections of Bibles in same language
