Back in the days of Windows 95/98 there was a great software application by Parson's Technology called QuickVerse. It was inexpensive, had Strong's numbers and some other nifty tools for searching the Bible.
Well, I don't use Windows 95/98 anymore (even if I could) and the latest version of QuickVerse features the same kinds of bloat that the other applications have always had -- video tours of the Holy Land, Christian "art", etc. -- that presents too much fluff.
After making some inquiries regarding the availability of KJV data and Strong's numbers, I have decided to create my own simple tool for Bible searching and research.
It will be a command line tool because
- As a programmer I spend a lot of time on the command line each day.
- The command line provides a simple user interface for which to code.
- I want to try out Python's console module.
The tool will focus on searching for words, Strong's numbers, word counts, and other research-related tasks.
