An open-source ministry studio

Free, open tools for Scripture and the church.

Bible.Tech builds a family of projects that help people translate, read, remember and learn through the Bible. Every one is free to use.

From the Open Word Bible

Grass dries out and flowers droop, but the word of our God holds firm for all time.

The projects

One family, four ways into the Word

Each project stands on its own. Together they share one design system, one set of principles and one way of working.

A public-domain translation from Hebrew and Greek with the reasoning behind every sentence, at literal, balanced and readable levels.

openwordbible.orgLive · drafting

A free, multilingual library of public-domain Christian classics, from Andrew Murray, Charles Spurgeon and more.

What we hold to

Principles

The same six commitments run through every project we ship.

  • Free, always

    No paywalls, no ads and no selling your attention.

  • Open texts

    Public-domain and openly licensed texts that anyone can read, share and build on.

  • Honest about AI

    AI-drafted work is labelled, and stays a draft until a named person has reviewed it.

  • Every language

    Built for the whole church, multilingual from the first release.

  • The text is the hero

    Quiet interfaces that get out of the way of the words.

  • Show the reasoning

    Where we make choices, we show our work so you can weigh it.
