Classic or Deluxe CDs
While the Starter Pack and many modules can be freely downloaded also available are two CDs, containing significantly more material and offering a great value. The Deluxe CD (for $79.95) includes all of the material, while the Classic CD (for $39.95) includes all of the material except the NAS95, NAS, NIV, NKJV, NLT, and NRSV. To place an order for either CD, please visit the store.
Free Starter Pack
Download and try the free Starter Pack, assuming your computer system meets our minimum system requirements. It allows any English speaking Bible student to easily get started studying God's Word. You can even later download and add several additional modules at no charge.
The Starter Pack (102 MB) is a simplified Installer package containing these individually downloadable pieces:
• Online Bible application (v.4.1.1) (5.9 MB)
• King James Version Bible
• Thayers Greek Lexicon
• BDB Hebrew Lexicon
• Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
• Clarkes Commentary on the Bible
• Smiths Dictionary of the Bible
System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements for the Online Bible:
• A Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4 or G5 processor, or an Intel processor.
• The Online Bible application can run on Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or later, but the installer requires an Intel-based Macintosh computer, or a PowerPC-based computer running Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later.
• At least 512 MB of free hard disk space for installation.
• 512 MB of random-access memory (RAM) installed.
CD-ROM drive (required for installation using the Classic or Deluxe CDs).
Slow Internet?
For those of you who, through no fault of your own, are burdened with a slow Internet connection - e.g., you live in a rural area where dial-up service is your only choiceyou can use the various links in the description of what is included with the Starter Pack to locate and download, one at a time, the individual pieces of the Starter Pack and build your own Online Bible folder. The first piece you should download is the application itself; all of the other pieces assume that the application is already installed. You must also, at a minimum, have at least one Bible version installed for the app to work properly. Download each piece and follow the instructions that come with that piece. This does take quite a bit more effort than using the Starter Pack Installer package, but the individual pieces are smaller, making it easier to download them and achieve the same result: a usable Online Bible folder.
Caveat Emptor
Some of the material for use with the Online Bible for the Mac is of an interpretive nature. As such, you may or may not agree with the views expressed. You are encouraged to prove all things and hold fast that which is good. 1Th 5:21. Let the Scriptures be your guide in this matter. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isa 8:20.
Freely Copied
You may share the starter pack and other downloadable modules with other Mac users. However, Online Bible modules may not be shared nor used with other Bible study programsincluding the Online Bible for Windows.

The Apocrypha
Those books (or writings) here classified as Apocrypha are those that have never been accepted as Scripture for several reasons, namely:
• The Jews never considered them part of their sacred canon.
• Christ rejected them by citing the scriptures as the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms. The Jews would understand that to be what we now consider the 39 books of the Old Testament.
• =They are never quoted in the Bible.
• They are unreliable and contradict known historical facts and doctrines in the Bible; e.g. 2 Mac 12:44,45, Wis 13:18 etc.
• The number of books, the verse numbering and the actual verses themselves vary greatly depending on who prints the Apocrypha.
Online Bible makes make them available for those whose faith or Church find them generally useful.
