Read everywhere and daily with Bible Authorized Version, the King James Bible app built for reading, searching, saving, and studying Scripture entirely offline, by grace from the KJB Pure Cambridge Edition 1900. Anyone interested in supporting app development may "Tip" from opening Bookcase, and selecting the ⓘ . The objective of BAV is to hide obtrusive distractions while providing advanced tools to learn the source text at a glance. Search the Bible by word or phrase, see where words appear, and compare how often they occur across the whole Bible or within a specific book. Select text naturally, save searches, save verses, and create Selection Groups for deeper study with Colloquies. The Bible is its own dictionary! 0. King James Bible is the infallible word! KJB is 100% free, and for $19.99, Source Text unlock allows USFM imports, or choose to download from available non-copyrighted versions. 1. Choose how you browse: Standard, Historical, or Alphabetical Bookshelves. 2. Decide your focus: Searches will display similar searches and wording, Saved is a primary quick-access selection group, Selections gives specific control over order and grouping of verses, and Colloquies is where you may write and build your own studies now that you have organized selections and can easily track where you were in the Bible from saved searches. 3. Take your focus to a whole new level by pausing where you're at and coming back to it later. Keep studies completely separate, or use each session for one spot in the Bible. So not only can you have unlimited Bibles, you can group each set so if resuming where you left off isn't enough, then you can resume "where you left off where you left off", because each Collection of Sessions has its own "active" Session. 4. Wrap everything together with Gestures and Settings Profiles. Each Settings Profile can have its own Gestures Profile, or all your Settings Profiles can have one Gesture Profile. Gesture between Sessions, Books, Chapters, and Verses depending on your preferred setup. Bible Authorized Version is designed to stay out of your way. Hide or show the interface with one tap, focus on the text, and use widgets (Verse over Photo widget or Sessions widget), notifications, and selections as a study tool for learning scripture. Features: · Sessions and Session Collections: group sessions and maintain separation of concerns as needed to strengthen your focus. · Bookcase and Bookshelves: browse books by order and expand search results. · Reader: customize font display and size settings for comfortable reading. · Search: space-sensitive word and phrase searching by 'match' and 'broad'. · Save, Star, Select, Study: read everywhere and daily - save searches, star your focused verses, select in groups and place groups into collections, and create your own Colloquies. · Local use: works completely on your own device. · Design: intended primarily for Dark Mode use. Specifications: · No opinionated commentary, red letters, or pilcrows (App Presets can be hidden from the Manage Presets option when selecting a Colloquy preset). · Contains italics. · Pure Cambridge. · Customizable Reader: font family, spacing, and all-chapters or single-chapter view.

apologetics.pro is a free, searchable library of the evidence for the Christian faith: the historical case for Jesus and the resurrection, the reliability of the Bible, the classic arguments of philosophy and science, and honest examinations of atheism, relativism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism and Hinduism. It is the companion app to apologetics.pro and carries the site's complete evidence repository. HOW IT IS ORGANIZED The evidence is arranged in 15 cases. An apologetic case argues for Christianity. A polemic case examines another belief system, and opens with "What it is": a fair description of that system, in terms its own adherents would recognise, before any critique. Every case makes a set of claims. Every claim is backed by numbered exhibits: ancient historians, manuscripts, archaeology, philosophy, science and Scripture, each with the citations and links to check the source yourself. Under each exhibit, the most common objections are stated fairly and answered directly, conceding what should be conceded. WORKS OFFLINE The whole repository downloads to your phone the first time you open the app and refreshes quietly whenever you have a connection. Read it on a plane, in a study group, or anywhere the signal is poor. Search works offline too, and tolerates typos. FEATURES - 15 cases: Historical Jesus, Resurrection of Christ, Reliability of Scripture, The Trinity, Relativism, Problem of Evil, Philosophy, Science, Atheism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism, Hinduism - Search cases, claims, evidence and objections instantly, with no connection - Shuffle to a random claim - Save any exhibit to come back to later - Share a claim, an exhibit or an objection as a link to its full write-up on the website, or copy it as text with its sources - Suggest an addition or a correction from inside the app, no account needed - Large text and screen readers supported WHO IT IS FOR Christians who want to know why they believe, skeptics who want the strongest version of the case rather than a caricature, students, pastors, teachers, and anyone in a conversation about faith who wants the sources at hand. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free. Found a mistake? Every claim, exhibit, source and objection has a link to suggest a correction. A reviewer reads every suggestion and emails you what happened to it.
