Tangentially related, but is there a good open source ePub of the versions of the Bible? Standard eBooks doesn't have the Bible in their library, bizarrely.
NET and WEB are probably the best modern translations.
Since you're from an Orthodox background, perhaps you can consider having the books from an actual Orthodox bible? For instance it is missing Wisdom of Solomon, Sirrah and others. Edit: I'd also appreciate an RSS feed so that I can get notified when a new puzzle is released.
Thank you so much for noticing. I didn't even know there was a difference between Orthodox/Catholic and Protestant canons until a week after the site was live. I spent a decent amount of time trying to add the Deuterocanonical books.
