Socinus Bible

Socinus Bible brings the Bible and the writings of the Socinians together, fully offline. Beside the verses, a book mark in the margin shows where Faustus Socinus, Johannes Crell, the Racovian Catechism and other works expound them. A tap lists the passages, another opens one in the work, a third brings you back. A tap on a word leads to the Hebrew or Greek original.
