# Description

An Emacs Bible study application using [the SWORD project](https://www.croswire.org)'s \`diatheke'
command line program to access SWORD text modules.


<a id="org6e0c5aa"></a>

# Dependencies

[The SWORD Project](https://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/index.jsp) library and utilities and a [Biblical Text module](https://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/index.jsp)
(uses KJV by default). Also, Strong's lexicons and morphological
databases should be installed:

-   StrongsRealGreek
-   StrongsRealHebrew
-   Robinson
-   Packard
-   OSHM
-   AbbottSmith (lexicon) + AbbottSmithStrongs (index)
-   BDBGlosses<sub>Strongs</sub>

The SWORD Project utility \`installmgr' can be used to install text
modules and lexical and morphological databases.

The program \`mkfastmod' should be used to generate indexes so the
lexical search method will work.
