emmeth/emmeth

An open source bible software for everyone.

About Emmeth

Emmeth = Hebrew for truth. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32 NIV)

Vision

Emmeth is a free, open source bible software. It's purpose is to be free, easy to use. It supports sermon preparation, daily bible reading, studying, scientific use. It is multi platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), has a webapp and mobile versions.

How it works

The bible software comes for free. You can either download the source and compile it or download a stable build for your operating system. Emmeth has a base software which comes for free all the functions are free of use. To use it, you need to download in (the base software included) bookstore. You need to have an account to download books from the bookstore. Downloading books is restricted and you need sometimes to purchase the books in order to download them. This is due because of licenses from the authors and the publishers. Some books are for free, if they are in public domain or under free to use licenses. Emmeth wants to honor the work of others and respects licenses. The books, notes and anything else will be synced to your online account. The purchase can be made through the bookstore and the files will be downloaded and synced automatically.
