the Scripture

Peace be with you!

You can study the Bible and Quran with our scripture viewer, quiki.  Quiki is now "download friendly", you can download pages for offline use.

Here also is the Bhagavad Gita in only 24 pages or 12 leaves (PDF), for printing at home. Here it is in doc and odt formats, with the same layout.

To view a certain custom set of translations / texts side by side in Quiki, for now you need to edit the base URL directly, listing the translations needed separated by commas (no spaces)! I hope it should be clear enough how to do this from the examples.

Here are the machine-readable, plain-text Bible and Quran.  Every chapter or surah has its own file, and each verse is a single line.  There are many texts and translations.

We have prepared a new "no frills" latin transliteration of the Quran, quran/tlt.  It maps Arabic letters to Latin characters, and does not include additional vowels or punctuation.  We hope you find it easy to read.  You can use quiki to view it.  Here is more about quran/tlt.

We are collecting a list of links to resources.  Please contact Sam by sending email to sam@nipl.net if you can tell us about other resources, or to find out more about this project.
