DESCRIPTION
Online Bible is a full-featured program designed for serious Bible students. You can display Bible passages and notes in any number of windows. Most operations can be performed using either the mouse or keyboard commands. The program is both powerful and easy to use.
In addition to the King James Version, over thirty other English versions are available. These include the 1984 New International Version, 1995 New American Standard Bible, 1982 New King James Version, 1989 New Revised Standard Version, 1996 New Living Translation, and many others. Greek and Hebrew texts are also available for original language study. In addition several foreign languages are supported, including Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and others. See Appendix E at the back of the User's Manual for a detailed list of Bible texts and add-on modules currently available.
Complete search facilities include, word, phrase, multiple words, wild cards, and much more. Searches can use AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and proximity operators to select verses. The range for searches can be restricted. All verses are displayed in context rather than asking you to choose a verse from a list to display. Searches are very fast, taking only a second or two even on older Macs.
You can add notes to a verse using the built-in editor. Cross-references can be included in your notes for automatic recall. In addition to verse notes, topical material, pictures, and word studies can also be saved.
A special Copy Verses command is provided to copy Bible passages via the clipboard directly from the Online Bible to any currently running application. The format of the verses is controlled via preferences set by the user.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

MACNEWS Just so you know: This guy has been responsible for not only the OS X version, but in the past the Classic version. It's not his day job. He's done a wonderful job thus far. (Version 3.9.10y36) | |

MACSWEEP To those who are complaining about the free vs. paid CD-ROM versions: They are one in the same application. The copyrighted material in the modules are what costs, due to royalties to the copyright holders. Pubic domain versions of the Bible are free and are downloadable. (Version 3.9) | |

CARL878 This is the finest program for Bible study I have seen to date. I have found this MAC version to be flawless even when I haveover 50 study search pages open at once. The only deficiency is the limit on the number of verses that can be copied at once which is 200(even with the King James version which is not copyrighted). Since there is a work around I gave it a five (5) rating for features and ease of use. Before the work around I would have given it a four in each of these. This version is not to be confused with the PC version which is written by an entirely different group of programmers and is greatly inferior in ease of use and its other features. (Version 3.9) | |

ANONYMOUS Online Bible 3.9 would seem still to be a beta and not a full version. However in my view the beta looks good and seems to be fairly stable. OLB itself is free but the modules that come with it are not. This means that it you want to use OLB to the full, you need to buy the CD and the deluxe CD at that, which contains all the essential translations including the NIV. Its a good application though and it looks great in OSX. (Version 3.9) | |

CARL878 The latest version is currently 3.9.7 as shown in the get-info window. When installed, the version number may still say it is 3.9.0 but it is the new version and there are changes. (Version 3.9) | |

ANONYMOUS Been using the Classic version of this for years and it is the best. I prefer it over MacSword. I can't wait until they release a final version of this for OSX. Great job guys! I would advise to lable this as a beta version on here somewhere and not just as 3.9, but rather 3.9b3 or something. Thanks! *Also, there ARE other free modules, other than what comes with it, available for download from the site. (Version 3.9) | |

DAMIAN "This is the exact same file as the beta....I guess I'll wait until 4.0 in a few years and see if there has been any improvement. -sigh-" Be of good cheer, holy pilgrim. The Online Bible is exactly like Jesus, "The same, yesterday, today and tomorrow." In other words, you could say that the software never changes. Nor should it. (Version 3.9) | |

DAMIAN So what's going on here? MacUpdate says this software is free. Once you download the software or if you go to the developer's website, you find this information: "Macintosh Classic CD-ROM - $39.95 ($49.95 Canadian) Including the Manual. Macintosh Deluxe CD-ROM - $89.95 ($129.95 Canadian) With NIV, NASB, NKJB, NLT and NRSV royalties prepaid, including the Manual." So...either it's free or it costs up to $90.00. So which is it? It would seem that the developer employs a similar startegy to that of the American evangelical religionists. They tell you "You only have to believe to be saved." But of course just to "believe" means you have to sacrifice everything, including your intellect, free will, and common sense. In order to get the software, you're lured in with an offer of free software. When you download the software, you find out that to use it, you have to "tithe" a sizeable chunk of money to the corporate collection plate . (Version 3.9) | |

ANONYMOUS Many of the modules are free downloads including the actual program software. If you want the full kaboozle with the copyrighted texts, then the CD would be the way to go. (Version 3.9) | |

ANONYMOUS Highly recommended software for serious students of the Bible. I've used the classic version for years and am happy to finally see an OSX version. Damien: If you would check the website you'd find that non-copyrighted modules are free (and there are plenty). You can buy a CD if the download time/expense would be prohibitive or if you want or need the copyrighted modules. BTW - Did I mention that you're bigoted comments are offensive and have no place in a software review. (Version 3.9) | |

DOUG I have been waiting for this for sometime. This is great to be native in OSX. This program is very useful for searching, reading, and performing detailed studies. It also lets you create your own bible study topics and notes. This is great. I was recently took on the challend of reading the whole old testament in a month. I could not have made it through Jeremiah and Isaiah without having Online Bible read it to me. | |
