Full-fledged Bible software that runs in mobile and desktop browsers. Intended to run off an SD chip in closed countries.

Browser Bible

A browser based Bible Study Application built with the holy trinity of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Created by: [http://www.dbsbible.org](Digital Bible Society)
• Project Leader: John Dyer http://j.hn/
• Code License: GPLv2/MIT
• Content License: See each content folder for a license

Goals

HTML and JavaScript based Bible software that can run

• on any browser
• on any device
• in any nation

The application has full search and highlighting features but requires

• no install
• no server
• no trace

To make this happen, there are two ways to view the same biblical content

• Mobile Version - The mobile version uses [http://www.jquerymobile.com/](jQuery Mobile) to navigate through the Bible chapter by chapter
• Desktop Version - The desktop version is a multipane application based off ideas at http://biblewebapp.com/
