Nave's Topical Bible
Public Domain -- Copy Freely
Nave's Topics were originaly produced by Orville J. Nave, A.M., D.D.,
LL.D. while serving as a Chaplin in the United States Army. He referred
to this work as "the result of fourteen years of delightful and untiring
study of the Word of God." Nave's topics were originally published in
the early 1900's, and a photo-offset reproduction is currently published
by Hendrickson, ISBN 0-917006-02-X. The title page states that this
work consists of 20,000+ topics and subtopics, and 100,000 references to
the Scriptures.
These topics were created from an existing electronic copy which was
being sold commercially and contained so many errors as to render it
nearly useless. After contacting the business in question, and
discussing the copyrightability of Public Domain material, they
concurred that the actual data, seperate from the program and format
they created, is Public Domain. The text has since been passed through
a series of programs searching for a variety of error patterns, as well
as visual spot checking. It is believed the present material is greater
than 99% clean, although a printed copy should be consulted if questions
arise. Great care was taken to remove any non-original material,
resulting in completely Public Domain data original to Dr. Nave.
The current format has been designed for programatic reference, placing
50 topics in a file, preceeding each topic with $$topic_number,
surrounding the topic name with back-slashes, beginning each list of
verse references with a # pound character, and terminating with a |
vertical bar. References to other topics are prefixed with a » (ascii
175) double arrow followed by the topic number. It should be noted that
it is possible to have the topic prefix followed by "(n/a)". This is
due to a very small number of topic references which were unable to be
resolved. These topics are:
flail, forsaking God, gifts, gnat, implements, mathematics, messianic
psalms, purse, proselytes, rhetoric, saffron, schism.
These topics are not listed in the printed edition and it is not
apparent what Dr. Nave intended. It should also be noted that a fair
number of verse reference lists have the word "with" imbedded in order
to tie one verse to the following verse(s).
The most current and correct copies of these files can be obtained from
the following. If any errors are located, please ensure you have the
latest files, and if so, we would appreciate being informed of the
error.
