The Rock

The Rock is a command-line application for Linux systems very similar to that of Debian's bible-kjv application, but with extra features, like being able to actually read the bible (bible-kjv is only good for making references to bible passages). This application is under heavy development and is NOT feature complete yet. What you see in the application now can and will change in the near future.

Screenshots

Command line mode. Just like Debian's bible-kjv, this is good for referencing bible passages and verses.

TUI (Terminal UI) mode, this is good for wanting to read the bible. It can show the chapters with the verse numbers, or show each chapter as a paragraph. (press the 'n' key to swap the view between the two)

You can bookmark your favorite passages to look at again later with labeled bookmarks!
