#+TITLE: Emacs Bible Study Application

* Description
An Emacs Bible study application using [[https://www.croswire.org][the SWORD project]]'s `diatheke'
command line program to access SWORD text modules.
* Dependencies
[[https://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/index.jsp][The SWORD Project]] library and utilities and a [[https://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/index.jsp][Biblical Text module]]
(uses KJV by default). Also, Strong's lexicons and morphological
databases should be installed:
- StrongsRealGreek
- StrongsRealHebrew
- Robinson
- Packard
- OSHM
- AbbottSmith (lexicon) + AbbottSmithStrongs (index)
- BDBGlosses_Strongs

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.
