THE ELECTRONIC BIBLE
Available on the Cleveland FREE-NET <FRE001>
Welcome to the ELECTRONIC BIBLE.
Contained in this area is the complete text of the King James version of
the Christian Bible. It is divided into Old and New Testament sections and
can be read and/or searched a chapter at a time by selecting from the
appropriate menu or, in the case of the New Testament, can be searched in
its entirety.
The search routines are fairly crude and quite slow, so we hope you will
have patience with the process. More details on searching can be found in
the instruction file in the New Testament area. The limitations on our
search routines are such that we can only provide this service on the (much
smaller) New Testament. We hope to be developing faster and more powerful
search capabilities in the near future which will allow us to include the
Old Testament as well.
The King James version was selected, quite frankly, because it was the
only version we could find that was not copyrighted. We hope at some point
in the future to be able to offer the Revised Standard as well as other
versions.
This feature and the Biblical Help files was a joint project of the
All-Denominational Forum on the Cleveland Free-Net, and the staff of the
National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN). It is being made available to
this system via NPTN Cybercasting Services.
