The Bible, the Christianity Holy Book, is presented in this program in the original and useful format. It features not only the complete, unabridged Bible text in an original form, but also dictionaries, commentaries, devotionals, and other features to enrich your Bible-reading experience.
When opening the program for the first time, you may find the interface a little too crammed, since it includes a Bible tree, the actual Bible text, a resources window, and other features. Nevertheless, the program allows you to customize its interface so you can see only those parts you are working with. The program gives you the possibility of adding your own notes, and to hear (not read) the text via its text-to-speech feature.
The program includes the American Standard Version and the King James (Authorized Version) of the Scriptures. It also has a download manager that allows you to get more Bible versions and books by reputable scholars. Some of these modules are free, while others are pay-based, but in general, these are rather affordable.
If you are a cleric, a scholar or a serious Bible reader, then this program will be very useful for you.

- The Dct and Cmt tabs that contain the current topic now have a yellow highlight rather than book icons.
- Can move tabs around in Bible, Dict, and Cmt panels. Just click and drag the tab. BA will try to remember the order even when changes are made in the Session Manager.
- Bible, Dict, and Cmt tabs can be renamed on right-click. Internally BA uses the original name to preserve links and such.
