Downloading Online Bible Software
Overview
To download the various components listed below, just left-click on the
link, and when prompted, select "save this program to disk",
and specify an appropriate directory (ie, "c:\temp\" or "c:\my downloads\").

generally has the latest versions of the application available.

- an upgrade version
contains an upgrade to the latest version of the Online Bible application, so only applicable

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, Greek/Hebrew Lexicons, OLB Theme Index, Morning and Evening Devotional

Payment for Locked Versions
Royalty payments for these translations are typically in the order of $5 - $15 US.
These Bible translations can be downloaded and installed, but cannot be used util
an appropriate unlock code has been entered.
Payment for these locked translations can be made by credit card via
this secure web page,
or you can provide your payment details by phone (see the order form for details).
Alternatively, you can order the locked translations from one of the
international distributors listed on

Note that you do not have to pay for any components other than the locked translations
you wish to use - the unlock codes will be provided to you via email.
The order form also allows you to purchase copies of the Online Bible software on CD,
if you don't want to download the various components.
