Alkitab Bible Study is a desktop application for reading and studying the Bible. It provides a graphical environment for exploring scripture translations and working with commentaries, dictionaries, lexicons, glossaries and devotional material.
Built on the NetBeans Platform and CrossWire’s JSword library, Alkitab allows readers to open individual Bible texts or compare several translations in parallel. Its search facilities go beyond simple keyword matching, with support for phrase combinations, exclusions, passage ranges and searches based on Strong’s numbers.
The application works with CrossWire modules, giving users access to additional Bible translations and theological reference works. Readers can move between scripture passages, consult related material and investigate Hebrew and Greek terminology without using several separate programs. Plugin support provides a way to extend the application’s functionality.
This is free and open source software.
