Bible Study in Obsidian Kit (including the Bible in Markdown)

Hi Joshua,

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now and am really enjoying it. I’m not great at markdown or computing stuff in general but enjoy trying.
I was wondering how you get the verse numbers in line with your h6 headers.
You said custom CSS is that something you are willing to share how to do?

Thank You

Hi Silas! I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

You can find the CSS here: CSS tweaks for Bible Study.

Here are some customisations from other people in this thread!

Neat project! I’ve been thinking about ways to use Obsidian to set up courses, including one on Koine. I’ll be curious to see how your project develops.

I did just want to let you know, though, that the Obsidian Publish version is entirely broken for me (on Firefox) as of now.

I am loving this solution. Is there a way to create something like a journal Bible where there would be two columns: the Bible left and notes to the right. I think one idea would be to add table with two columns, but that seems like it would get a little messy. It would be great if I could split a note in Obsidian to divide it into two columns that way. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Also, is there a way I can protect the scripture text within a note from accidental edits?

You can simply create a document with the Bible text and your notes at the bottom. Split the screen (left/right) and you have everything in the right place!

Awesome, thanks so much!

@Joschua Thanks for all you have done with this. After running the script a few times, I am still not quite getting the correct results. I used “bash bg2obs.sh -e -i -v ESV” to get the ESV version with the editorial headers (and I did receive approval from Crossway/ESV). However, the editorial headers are not showing up correctly. See the image from Acts 4:22 where the editorial header is “The Believers Pray for Boldness.” It seems to be stuck with verse 22 instead of being on its own line.

Here is another example where at the beginning of Acts 4 it seems to not include “Peter and John Before the Council.”

Here is what it looks like in VS Code in case the *** means something.

Do you have any ideas of what happened? I tried it originally without the -e option, and it also included the editorial headers, but not as headers (see screenshot below).

Thanks again!

Can you add Turkish language please?
