When I was in college I wrote a Windows app to do the side-by-side translations of the bible just like you have on your site.

It was commissioned by a multilingual church.

Funny thing is, I'm a atheist raised by Catholics. I'm not sure if I would take the job today. I feel it would be unscrupulous for me to facilitate religious studies.



I mean, parabible is really aimed at research. In that sense, hopefully there's something useful about it as a tool for study, irrespective of personal convictions. That said, I'm a Christian and I'm studying the Bible because I believe that's how we know God, and I would be the first to say that there is something different about that kind of research.


I'm curious: When you say "something different" what do you mean? For example,when you engage in bible reasearch, does it feel that a different part of your self is gaining sustinance?
