Digital Catholic Bible
Full user review
"Add more Catholic Versions plus the Indonesian version."
The program is light on my computer and it's faster to open than most bible softwares. Serves well for quick references and daily reading program.
Adding The Jerusalem Bible, NRSV and NAB is a bonus. Indonesian translations Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia would be an added advantage for the Indo-Malay Catholics.
I also noice that this program is so far, one of the few that offers digital Catholic versions. It has the potential to grow with the addition of Catholic Versions in English and in other languages. I stay in a region with many Catholics who speak Malay and Indonesian and have used Bibleworks but the Indonesia version does include the Deuterocanonical books. My continued search led me to a useful site @ Alkitab Electronik (http://www.alkitab.or.id/dmedia/copyright.htm.) which provides both the New Indonesian Translations and the Deuterocanonical books. This will help many Malay-Indonesian speaking Catholics in this region.
The search features for DCB is commendable but much can be done to improve it. It would also be more desirable to provide addition features for customization in the meaning that readers could also add their own footnotes with linkable scriptural passages pertinent to that version consulted, for example the footnotes and side references that are found in the hard copy of the Jerusalem Bible. This is helpful especially for those who embark in a more serious scrutiny of the Bible.
Overall this program is well worth the effort and it has the potential to grow into one of the best Catholic Bible Software. Keep up with the good work to make it even better.
