Sovereign Logos restores the Bible the apostles read. For three centuries after Christ, the Church read the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament quoted throughout the New. Sovereign Logos brings that text back into your hands, alongside the King James Version, in a reader built for serious daily study. TRANSLATIONS, SIDE BY SIDE • Septuagint 2012 (modern English LXX) • Brenton's Septuagint (1851 LXX) • King James Version (1611) • Geneva Bible (1599), with the 1560 Geneva Apocrypha • World English Bible • The Book of Enoch (R. H. Charles, 1917) Compare any verse across translations with a single tap. See exactly where the Masoretic Text removed words the apostles read. THE SHIELD OF FAITH An optional morning gate built on Apple's Screen Time. Choose the apps that pull hardest and the morning hours to guard. During those hours the apps wait behind a short devotion. Finish your reading and they open for the day. Off by default and free, and your app choices and hours stay on your device. READING PLANS THAT KEEP GOING Start Bible in a Year on any day, or build your own plan: the whole Bible, a testament, a range of chapters, or the books you pick, at your pace and on your days. Each plan gets its own tab on Daily. Listen to today's chapters back to back, check them off, and when a plan ends, let it continue through the rest of the testament or the Bible. DAILY READING WITH AUDIO A four-section daily reading covering the entire Bible: Old Testament, Psalm, Proverb, New Testament. Audio for every chapter in a clear masculine voice, with lock-screen, Bluetooth, AirPods, and CarPlay controls. Opening the Daily tab never starts audio on its own; you press play when you're ready. CHRISTIAN CLASSICS AND THE CATECHISM Read public domain Christian classics chapter by chapter, starting with The Imitation of Christ. Luther's Small Catechism is included, along with Joseph Stump's full 1907 question-and-answer explanation. PRAYERS AND REMINDERS Prayers, psalms, canticles, and the creeds, with optional verse-of-the-day and prayer reminders at the times you choose. TAP A NAME, SEE THE FAMILIAR FORM The older Septuagint editions spell many names the old way: "Achaab", "Esaias", "Nabuchodonosor". Tap one and a small card shows the name you already know: Ahab, Isaiah, Nebuchadnezzar. Over 600 names are mapped. RESTORATION MARKERS Wherever the Masoretic Text removed verses or chapters present in the Septuagint, Sovereign Logos marks the restored text. The Book of Esther, for example, is restored in full, including the six chapters cut by later editors. YOUR NOTES, YOUR BACKUP Long-press any verse to bookmark it, highlight it, or write a note. Your notes live on your device, and you can export everything to one backup file and restore it on another device. No account is required, ever. STUDY TOOLS • Tap any word to define it with the free Webster's 1828 add-on • 343,000 cross-references between verses • Read-aloud with the active verse highlighted • Search across translations • Red-letter New Testament • Dark, Light, and Sepia themes with adjustable type Sovereign Logos is built for the long view. No subscriptions. No ads. No account. No cross-app tracking. Just scripture, the way it was read for 1,500 years before the Reformation chose a redacted text. @SovereignLogos
