Building Religious Mashups
David March 19th, 2008
Much the same way that various site have used GoogleMaps to create their own web content, the LDS Church has released an API to the scriptures so that this data can be redistributed and utilized for other applications. I’m excited to see more and more of these kinds of services being offered by the Church.
There is a lot of interest in the community to offer scriptures services. Here are a few that I have found:
Prototype of mobile scriptures: http://cameronmoll.com/sandbox/mobile/v2.php
Another version of scriptures, with social networking features: http://www.scripturesapp.com
BYU project to cross reference General Conference talks with the scriptures: http://scripturalindex.byu.edu/
Index for Jesus the Christ (Talmage) with the scriptures: http://www.connorboyack.com/blog/jesus-the-christ-index
Wiki-like project for the Bible in multiple languages (including Hebrew): http://biblos.com/
List of open source projects utilizing the scriptures: http://ldsoss.org/index.php/Religious_Study

[…] Plus, a list of “mashups” using the scriptures. […]
