The Speaking Study Bible by MarvinCook.com

Most Bibles are viewed on the Internet and created by a Common Gateways Interface (CGI) program, and are not very portable. A web server must be installed to get them to run.

This HTML Speaking Holy Bible consists of over 1,200 "designed" HTML Web pages with audio (mp3) in every chapter. It does not require a web server, and can operate on almost any platform. All that is required is to have a Computer and a Browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.

This Speaking Holy Bible is simple HTML codes, and operates only under your browser. It cannot create files, or perform other functions that could conceivably damage a computer. But, because there are people who use lawsuits to prevent the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the following "fine print" has been added to protect those that distribute the Speaking Holy Bible.

Bible Dictionary

These Dictionary topics are from M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, published by Thomas Nelson, 1897. Due to the nature of etext, the illustrated portion of the Dictionary have not been included.

The current format has been designed for programatic reference, placing 50 topics in a file, preceeding each topic with $$topic_number, surrounding the topic name with back-slashes, References to other topics
are prefixed with a ¯ (ascii 175) double arrow followed by the 8 byte topic number. It should be noted that it is possible to have the topic prefix followed by "(n/a)". This is due to a very small number of topic references which were unable to be resolved. These topics are:

Laadan, Land Laws, Vashni.

These topics are not listed in the printed edition and it is not apparent what Mr. Easton intended. The verse references have not been marked up or tagged for program usage. It is hoped someone will do this
work and make the resulting files available.
