Introduction

Living, Religion

Welcome to the next level of scripture engagement - The Bible for Joomla! Our purpose is to bring the Word of God to every person, in their native language, entirely free. This isn't just a typical extension; it's a groundbreaking tool developed to span language divides and deliver a rich, customizable Bible study experience to users worldwide.


With an impressive array of 80 translations, our Joomla extension allows people from all corners of the globe to read, comprehend, and meditate on the Holy Scriptures in their preferred language. Moreover, we offer the unique opportunity for individuals to host the Bible on their own website, further extending the reach of the Word.

We've integrated robust features such as note-taking, tagging, and a search function, to enhance your interaction with the Scriptures. This allows users to immerse themselves in the text, crafting a personal journey through the Bible that can be revisited in future sessions. Furthermore, our innovative linker system assigns each visitor a unique identifier (GUID) - no login required. This means you can create notes, select favourite verses, and even share sessions, while maintaining control over your personalized content.

A distinctive feature of our application is the integration with OpenAI. This advanced capability allows website owners to create custom prompts to interact with OpenAI using text from any translation. This function allows you to ask questions, gain clarity, and deepen your understanding of the Scriptures in an engaging and user-friendly manner.

In essence, The Bible for Joomla is designed to transform how the Word of God is shared, studied, and comprehended. Its comprehensive features, combined with a user-friendly interface, make it an essential tool for individuals, churches, and website owners alike. Join us on this journey of faith as we make the wisdom and guidance of the Scriptures accessible to all, one verse, one language, and one website at a time.

Excellent! Easy to use



Posted on 28 August 2024
Functionality
It works exactly as explained. There are no bugs. The plug-in that goes with the extension is also great .
Ease of use
Very simple to use. No difficult configurations to set up. Works out of the box.
Support
Excellent. Support is on the developer's Gitea platform where you can raise issues as they come up. They are quickly resolved.
Documentation
Very clear and comprehensive. It can be found on the Wiki on the developer's Git platform.
I used this to: I use the API for loading scripture on my website. I recently updated the J4 and J5 and it works perfectly in both versions. The API is amazing. It takes privacy in consideration and it is all for free!

No longer works



Posted on 01 June 2020
Functionality
No longer works and email to developer bounces. Very sad, as this component could be very useful and the alternative is covered in branding.
Ease of use
I went to the trouble of installing it and then trying to use my own api key, only to find it has operator string issues. An hour wasted....
Support
Documentation
They put a lot of work into this and I'd love for them to update it so it works with Joomla 3.8+
I used this to: it can't be used anymore, please developers, consider updating it, even if it is paid download in future.
Owner's reply: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and insights regarding our getBible component. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and I truly understand the frustration you felt. It is indeed very regrettable that you encountered these issues.

I'm thrilled to announce that after two years of intense work and mastering the complex nature of the Crosswire Module integration, we have finally released version 2 of our powerful getBible component! This new version not only addresses the functionality and operator string issues you've raised but also brings enhanced features that we believe will make it even more valuable to you and other users.

If you've been missing what this component used to provide, I highly encourage you to try the new version. It has been built with the insights and needs of users like you in mind.

For any questions or if you need assistance with the installation or usage, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help, and we're committed to ensuring that your experience with our product is nothing short of excellent.

Again, thank you for your feedback, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the updated getBible component. Together, we can make it the go-to solution for Joomla 3.8+ users.

Warm regards,
Llewellyn van der Merwe
Functionality
It displays the Bible on the front end of your site using your templates CSS, so it looks hand coded for just for your site.
Ease of use
Easy to set up on back end. On the front end it loads book by book, chapter by chapter with an intuitive interface.
Support
I have never had support like this ever. The developer was there with me through any issue I had.
Documentation
I didn't even check for documentation because the support was so good I never had to.
I used this to: I am starting to build sites for churches and other ministries. Many of my clients want to build on WordPress. Even if I plan to build them a WordPress theme I will still create an area on their site with a Joomla installation specifically so getBible can be used. Its the best.
Component looks pretty Good, I like how JQuery works.
I really love this Component (API) because of its simplicity and responsive layout. And the developers are really amazing responded super fast to my request to add Amharic Bible. Thank you very much and God Bless you all!!!
