Socinus Bible Support

Socinus Bible brings the Bible and the writings of the Socinians together in one app: six built-in Bible editions with Strong’s numbers, lexicon and original text, and a library of 23 works of the Socinian Reformation, linked to the Bible passages in both directions. The app is available for iPhone and iPad and for Android; on devices set to German its name under the icon is “Sozzini Bibel”. It needs no account, shows no ads and has no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

Contact and bug reports

Please send questions, bug reports, notes on translation errors and suggestions about the app by e-mail to info@socinianism.com.

To make a problem easy to reproduce, it helps to include:

• the app version, found in Settings › About Socinus Bible › Version
• your device (for example iPhone 15, iPad Air or the model of your Android device) and the version of its operating system (iOS, iPadOS or Android)
• where it happens: Bible edition and verse, work and section, or the name of an imported module
• what you did, what you expected and what happened instead
• a screenshot, if possible

Full details of the app’s publisher are given in the imprint.

How the app is organized

The tab bar at the bottom leads to the five areas of the app: Bible (the reader with lexicon and search), Library (the works), Audiobooks, Study (verse of the day, reading plans, progress and history) and Settings. Search has no tab of its own; it starts with the magnifying glass in the reader’s bar.

At the first launch the app asks for the language of the content and explains the most important gestures in a few pages. You can see this introduction again at any time: Settings › “Show introduction”.

Two gestures are worth knowing: tapping a word opens the panel below with the Hebrew or Greek original word and the lexicon. Tapping the verse number (or pressing and holding the verse) selects verses instead, for highlighting, copying, sharing and notes.

Bible editions

The built-in editions

• King James Version (English, 1769 edition)
• Berean Standard Bible (English, a public-domain translation in modern English with headings, paragraphs, poetry and footnotes)
• Luther Bible 1912 (German), public domain
• Elberfelder 1905 (German, unrevised), public domain, with the translators’ notes
• Racovian New Testament 1630 (German, translated by Johannes Crell and Joachim Stegmann), with the marginal notes of the print; it contains only the New Testament
• Biblia Gdańska (Polish, translation of 1632 in the 1881 edition)

In addition there is the included Septuagint (see below), and you can import Bibles of your own as modules.

Switching editions

In the Bible tab, tapping the name of the edition opens the row with all editions; a second tap switches to the one used last. Your reading position is kept when you switch. Which Bible the app shows by default for the content language is set in Settings › Bible editions: under “English Bible” the King James Version or the Berean Standard Bible, under “German Bible” Luther 1912, Elberfelder 1905 or the Racovian New Testament 1630. For Polish it is the Biblia Gdańska.

As the Racovian NT contains only the New Testament, the app then shows the Luther Bible 1912 for the Old Testament. The Biblia Gdańska is numbered like the Polish edition; where its numbering differs from the King James Version, “Verse combined” is shown.

Features of individual editions

The words of Jesus are shown in red in the King James Version and the Berean Standard Bible wherever the source marks them; you can turn this off in Settings › Appearance › “Words of Jesus in red”. Headings, footnotes, paragraphs and poetry are set in the reading menu “Aa”. For the Racovian NT the app can show differences from Luther, determined mechanically; “About this edition” in the bar leads to the preface, title page and key to the signs.

The library of works

Works and languages

The Library tab contains 23 works of the Socinian Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries, each in English and German, seven of them also in Polish. The Racovian Catechism is also available in Spanish, French and Italian. Among the authors are Faustus Socinus, Johannes Crell, Jonas Schlichting, Michael Servetus, Andrzej Wiszowaty and George Enyedi, together with the Racovian Catechism.

The list shows the works in your content language; the filter “Language of the works in the list” and “Other languages” lead to the other versions.

Reading the works

A work opens with its table of contents; “Continue reading” takes you to the place you read last. Footnotes, Bible references and terms in the text can be tapped: a Bible reference opens the verse, a term its explanation from the glossary. “Search this work” limits search to the open work, and “Glossary” lists the glossaries of all works from A to Z with a keyword search.

From verse to work and back

Beside the Bible verses, a book mark in the margin shows how often the works expound a passage. Tapping it opens the list “In the books” and leads to the exposition; “Back to …” takes you back to the Bible. The marks can be hidden in Settings › Appearance › “Show book references”.

Printed editions

If a work is also available as a printed book, its table of contents shows “Available in print”. “View on Amazon” opens the page in your browser; only this tap leaves the app.

Protected texts

The works in the library and the Racovian NT are translations and editions of our own. They are stored encrypted in the app and protected: you can read, search, highlight and listen to them in full, but copy or share them only to a limited extent (see “Copying and sharing”).

Strong’s numbers, lexicon and original text

Strong’s numbers

Strong’s numbers link a word of the translation to the Hebrew or Greek word of the original text. The “S#” switch in the bar shows and hides them; whether they are visible from the start is set in Settings › Lexicon & original text › “Show Strong's numbers by default”.

In the King James Version the numbers come from the CrossWire Bible Society edition, in the Berean Standard Bible from its publishers’ tables. In the Luther Bible 1912, the Elberfelder 1905, the Racovian NT and the Biblia Gdańska they come from a mechanical word alignment by fixed rules, without AI and not checked by a person. Words whose alignment is uncertain stay without a number; the panel then shows the original text of the verse with possible candidates. These mechanical numbers can be hidden separately: in the reading menu “Aa” or in Settings › Lexicon & original text › “Numbers from mechanical alignment”. How the alignment is made and how good it is, the app explains under “About the alignment”.

Lexicon

Tapping a word opens the panel below: the Hebrew or Greek word, its meaning and grammar. If a word has several Strong’s numbers, they appear side by side as tabs. “All occurrences” lists every passage of the original word and can be narrowed down by book, and the lexicon entry also shows how the editions render the word.

The lexicon appears in the content language. In the panel you switch the lexicon language between German, English and Polish; Polish can also be turned on in Settings › Lexicon & original text › “Lexicon in Polish”. The basis is Strong’s Dictionary and the lexicons of STEP Bible in English. The German and Polish versions are partly machine-translated; such parts are labelled “Machine-translated” and may contain errors. “Original (English)” always shows the untranslated entry, and where there is no checked translation, the English text is shown.

Original text and interlinear

“Original text” among the actions for a selected verse shows the Hebrew or Greek text word by word, with transliteration, Strong’s numbers, grammar in plain words and short meanings; the grammar can be shown in short or in full. In the parallel view settings you can also place the original text in small print under every verse. For many verses the app also shows the readings of the textual tradition.

Search

The magnifying glass in the bar of the Bible tab opens the search field. Results are grouped by area: Bible, Works, Racovian NT and Notes, each with the number of hits. These search forms are possible:

• several words: all must occur in the verse
• “Son of God” in quotation marks: exactly this sequence of words
• grac* with an asterisk: all words beginning like this
• H2902 or G3056: every occurrence of a Strong’s number, also in imported modules with Strong’s numbers
• John 3:16: jumps straight to the passage

Under “Options” you can limit the search to a testament, a book or a chapter, choose individual works, match upper and lower case or include similar word forms. Search remembers your recent search terms on the device.

Comparing: parallel view and split view

Parallel view

The parallel view shows a second text in small print under every verse: another edition, a module or the original text. It is chosen in Settings › Bible editions › “Parallel view”. The numbering of the reading text applies; verses numbered differently are combined.

Split view

For two texts of equal size, open the reading menu “Aa” and choose “Show split view”. On iPhone the texts are shown one above the other, on iPad side by side; while you scroll, the other half follows verse by verse. In the bar between the halves you choose source (edition or module) and passage, “Swap” exchanges the halves and “Close” ends the view. While the split view is on, the parallel view is paused.

Comparing a verse and cross references

Among the actions for a selected verse, “Compare” shows the verse in all editions and “Cross references” shows the cross references and Old Testament quotations in the New, in both directions.

Highlights, notes and bookmarks

Selecting verses

Tap a verse number or press and hold a verse; tap further verses to add them. The actions appear at the bottom: highlight in five colors (yellow, green, teal, blue, violet), copy, share, bookmark, note and collection, and under “More” also original text, compare, cross references, “Mark chapter as read” and “Read aloud from here”. In the works you select paragraphs; pressing and holding a sentence selects only that sentence.

Highlighting words with your finger

With the highlighter you mark single words instead of whole verses: reading menu “Aa” › “Highlighter”, or press and hold a verse and choose “Highlight words …” under “Highlight”. Dragging horizontally across words highlights them, a tap highlights a single word or removes it, holding and then dragging highlights in any direction, and swiping vertically keeps scrolling. There is an eraser and a pen that only selects without saving a color. The highlighted places can be copied or shared; “Done” ends the mode. This also works in the works of the library.

Bookmarks, My entries and collections

The bookmark symbol in the bar bookmarks the topmost visible verse or removes the bookmark; pressing and holding it opens “My entries”. There you find bookmarks, highlights and notes, filtered by source and color and sorted by date or text order, and the notes can be searched. “My entries” can also be reached from the Study tab and in Settings › My data. Collections let you group entries by topic, each with a name, color and symbol.

Copying and sharing

Verses can be copied and shared as text, with a source reference, or as an image card under “Share quote”. Whether verse numbers are included and a source reference is added is set in Settings › My data › “Copy and share”.

The public-domain Bibles (King James Version, Berean Standard Bible, Luther 1912, Elberfelder 1905, Biblia Gdańska), the lexicon and the original text can be copied freely and without limit. For verses from imported modules and the Septuagint, the app always adds the module’s title and abbreviation.

For the protected texts there are limits per action, and the source reference is always attached:

• Works in the library, their footnotes and the notes of the Racovian NT: one quotation from one chapter or section, at most 1,200 characters; a longer selection is shortened at a word boundary.
• Racovian NT: verses from one chapter, at most 12 verses with 1,500 characters together.
• If a great deal is copied or shared from the works and the Racovian NT within an hour, the app takes a short pause and shows when you can continue.

Study: verse of the day, reading plans and history

The Study tab opens with “Today”: the verse of the day (with the works that expound it), your reading plan, “Continue reading”, “My entries” and the history. There are seven reading plans to choose from, from “Bible in a year” and “New Testament in 90 days” to “Socinian key texts” with the 30 chapters the works expound most often.

If you wish, the app reminds you of the verse of the day with a notification at a fixed time every day: Settings › Reading & reminders › “Verse of the day as a notification”. The notifications are scheduled by the device itself, without the internet. There you also turn “Record reading progress automatically” on or off: chapters and sections that you read to the end or have read aloud to you then count as read; you can also set or remove this mark by hand. The history lists the verses, book sections and lexicon entries opened most recently; it can be cleared entry by entry or completely with “Clear history”.

Read aloud

Starting to read aloud

The speaker icon next to the name of the edition reads the chapter aloud from the beginning; in the works, “Read section aloud” starts from the topmost visible position. With verses or paragraphs selected, “Read aloud from here” (under “More”) starts at the chosen place. The verse being read is highlighted. In the read-aloud bar you pause, skip to the previous or next verse or paragraph, change the speed and set the sleep timer (in minutes or to the end of the chapter or section).

In Settings › Read aloud you set the speed, whether reading goes on after the chapter (“Continue reading”, then to the end of the Bible or the work) and which voice speaks each language. The device’s voices are used; the English editions are read in English, Luther 1912, the Elberfelder and the Racovian NT in German, the Biblia Gdańska in Polish and the works in their language. The Greek text of the Septuagint is not read aloud.

In the background

On iPhone and iPad, reading aloud continues in the background and when the screen is locked; the lock screen, Control Center and headphone buttons pause, resume and skip back and forth. It can only be started in the app. On Android, reading aloud stops as soon as the app goes into the background or the screen is locked.

Voices and limits

The Racovian NT and the works are read only by a voice built into the device: on iPhone and iPad a voice from Apple, on Android a voice that works without the internet. If none is available, the app tells you where to download one: on iPhone and iPad Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices, on Android Settings › Accessibility › Text-to-speech output (the names may differ slightly depending on the device). From the works and the Racovian NT the app reads at most 180,000 characters in four hours, about three hours at a stretch at normal speed; after that it shows when reading can continue.

Audiobooks

In the Audiobooks tab you listen to your own audiobooks in M4B format (also M4A with AAC audio). Files with copy protection (DRM) cannot be played.

Adding an audiobook

1. Save the M4B file on your device, for example in the Files app or your file manager.
2. In the Audiobooks tab tap “Add” and choose the file; for an audiobook in several parts, choose all parts together.
3. The preview shows chapters, duration and size and recognizes audiobooks of works in the library. “Add” stores the audiobook.

On iPhone and iPad you can also use Share or “Open in”, for example in the Files app, and choose Socinus Bible there.

Playing and resuming

The player offers play and pause, 15 seconds back, 30 seconds forward, previous and next chapter, speed, sleep timer and bookmarks with an optional note; “Chapters and bookmarks” lists both. During playback a mini player sits above the tab bar. Playback continues in the background, with controls on the lock screen on iPhone and iPad and in the notification on Android. The app remembers the position, also across a restart, and after a pause resumes a few seconds earlier. If an audiobook belongs to a work in the library, “Read in the work” leads to the text.

Catalog “Audiobooks by Socinianism”

The catalog shows which works of the library are available as audiobooks and in which languages. These audiobooks are available in the shop at socinianism.com; there are no purchases in the app itself. If you have such an audiobook, add the M4B file as described above.

Storage and backup

Audiobooks are large; the “Storage” section under “My audiobooks” shows how much space they take. When you delete one, “Keep progress” keeps position and bookmarks, “Delete everything” removes these as well. On iPhone and iPad, audiobook files are not in the iCloud backup by default; you can turn this on in Settings › My data › “Include audiobook files in iCloud backup”. Progress and bookmarks of your audiobooks, on the other hand, are part of your backed-up entries. It is best to keep the audiobook files themselves outside the app as well.

Importing Bible modules

In Settings › Bible modules you add Bible translations of your own. Supported are modules in MyBible format (.SQLite3, also inside a .zip file) and Bibles as Zefania XML (.xml, also inside a .zip file). The app ships no such modules and downloads none from the internet; you choose the file yourself and are responsible for the rights to it.

How to import

1. Download a module. “Find modules” opens the site ph4.org with modules in MyBible format in your browser after asking you; the site belongs to third parties, so check the license of each module there.
2. In Settings › Bible modules choose “Import module …” and then the file. If the module comes with a separate footnote file (same name with the suffix “.commentaries”), choose both files together; it can also be added later on the module’s page. On iPhone and iPad you can also share the file in the Files app and choose Socinus Bible.
3. The preview shows language, scope, number of verses and size, together with notes, for example whether Strong’s numbers, footnotes and cross references are taken over, whether the numbering partly differs or books were not taken over. With “Add” you confirm that you may use the module.

Reading modules

Imported modules appear in the Bible tab in the row of editions, after the built-in editions and under “Modules …”. After the import the app briefly prepares a module for the Bible tab; until then it can be read in the module reader. Modules can also be chosen in the parallel view, the split view and when comparing a verse, and you can highlight, add notes and bookmarks and have them read aloud.

Strong’s numbers and grammar from a module come from its file and are marked “From the module” in the panel; the app does not check them, but uses its built-in lexicon. The app maps passages via the numbering of the King James Version; if a module is numbered differently, individual verses have no counterpart in the editions. Under the module in Settings › Bible modules you find details of numbering, origin and license, the switch “Show in pickers” and “Delete”.

Limits of the import

• Bibles only: dictionaries, commentaries and other module types are rejected.
• MySword modules are not supported, only MyBible format and Zefania XML.
• A file may be at most 100 MiB, and a ZIP file may contain only one module.
• Encrypted or damaged files cannot be read.
• A module that is already imported is not added twice. If you choose the same file again, the app offers “Re-import”, for example to take over Strong’s numbers, footnotes and cross references for a module imported earlier; bookmarks, highlights and notes are kept.

If you delete a module, your entries for it are kept; after importing the same file again they are linked to the module once more.

Septuagint

The Septuagint is included in the app as a built-in module, in Greek following Brenton’s edition (Codex Vaticanus) and in English in Brenton’s translation of 1851. It is listed in Settings › Bible modules under “Included” and opens in the Bible tab like a module. It can be hidden but not deleted.

The Septuagint is often numbered differently from the other editions; some of its verses have no counterpart there. There is no original-text line for it, and the Greek text is not read aloud; the English version is.

Language and appearance

App language and content language

In Settings › Language you set two things independently: the App language for menus and labels (System, Deutsch, English or Polski) and the Content language (Deutsch, English or Polski), which applies to the Bible text, the list of works and the lexicon. Your reading position is kept when you change the content language; the Bible follows your choice in Settings › Bible editions.

Appearance

In Settings › Appearance you choose the theme (System, Light, Dark, or Black for reading in the dark), text size and line spacing, whether verse numbers and book references are shown, whether the words of Jesus appear in red and whether the device confirms actions with a light tap (“Haptics for actions”). Text size, line spacing and theme are also at hand in the reading menu “Aa”, together with headings, footnotes, paragraphs and poetry.

The app follows the system text size and supports screen readers: Dynamic Type and VoiceOver on iPhone and iPad, the system font size and TalkBack on Android.

Backing up and moving to a new device

Backup file

In Settings › My data › “Back up and restore”, “Export entries” creates a backup file in JSON format. It contains bookmarks, highlights, notes and reading positions as well as reading plans, collections, the history, the chapters and sections read, and the progress and bookmarks of your audiobooks. Use the share menu to save the file, for example in the Files app, in a cloud storage of your choice or as an attachment to yourself.

Not included in the file are the app’s settings (such as text size and language), the files of imported modules and the audiobook files themselves; import these again on a new device. Entries for a module or an audiobook then find their way back to it.

Restoring

“Import entries” reads a backup file back in, on another device as well. The app first shows what the file contains and then asks: “Merge” keeps existing entries, adds new ones and takes over changed ones; “Replace” deletes the existing entries and replaces them with those in the file. Newer versions of the app read backups from older versions; if a backup comes from a newer version, please update the app first.

Device backup

On iPhone and iPad your entries are part of the device backup; if iCloud Backup is turned on, iOS backs them up with the rest of the device’s data, and when you move to a new device by restoring from that backup, they come along. On Android the app is deliberately excluded from the device backup and from the transfer when changing devices. There the backup file is the only way to back up your entries or move them to a new device.

Updates, notice of new versions and rating

New content and features come with updates through the App Store or Google Play. Your entries are kept: if content changes, the app maps bookmarks, highlights and notes to it once at the first launch. An entry whose place it can no longer find reliably is kept with its text excerpt and marked “Place not found” in “My entries”.

At most once a day the app checks at launch whether a new version is available in the store, and then shows a notice under “Today” in the Study tab and at the top of Settings. On iPhone and iPad it leads to the App Store; on Android, Google Play downloads the new version in the background, after which restarting the app is enough. “Later” hides the notice for this version. This check is the only function with which the app goes online on its own. You can switch it off in Settings › About Socinus Bible › In the store › “Notify about new versions”; the app then works entirely offline.

After a few days of use, the app asks for a rating through the system’s rating prompt, at most once per version. Whether the prompt appears is decided by Apple and Google. You can rate the app yourself at any time in Settings › About Socinus Bible › “Rate the app”.

Storage and offline use

Bible texts, works, lexicon, original text and search are fully built into the app. It is therefore larger than many other apps; the exact size is shown on the app’s page in the App Store or on Google Play. Imported modules and audiobooks take additional space; if there is not enough free storage, the app tells you during the import how much is missing.

The app only goes online for the version check, which can be switched off, and when you tap a link yourself, for example under “Sources & Licenses”, “Websites”, “Find modules”, in the text of a work or in the notice about the printed edition. Such links open in your browser.

Privacy

Socinus Bible collects no personal data, has no account and no server of its own, and contains no tools for analytics, advertising or crash reporting. Whatever you create in the app stays on your device; a backup file is only created when you export it yourself. The only network function is the check for new versions, which can be switched off. Details are in the Socinus Bible privacy policy; the app shows a summary in Settings › “Privacy”.

Sources and licenses

The Bible texts are in the public domain: the Luther Bible 1912 and the Elberfelder 1905 from eBible.org, the King James Version with Strong’s numbers from the CrossWire Bible Society, the Berean Standard Bible in unchanged wording, the Biblia Gdańska from the CrossWire Bible Society and the Septuagint following Brenton. The Racovian NT follows the public-domain print of 1630 in an edition of our own. Word data, morphology and lexicon come from Strong’s Dictionary (public domain) and from STEP Bible (CC BY 4.0), the cross references from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge as prepared by CrossReferences.org (CC BY 4.0). The works in the library are translations of our own and protected by copyright.

The full credits, including details of machine translations and how they were checked, are in the app under Settings › “Sources & Licenses”.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

No. All texts, the lexicon, search and reading aloud work offline. A connection is only needed for what you open in your browser yourself and for the daily check for new versions, which can be switched off; without a connection the notice simply does not appear.

How do I find out which version I have?

In Settings › About Socinus Bible › Version. Please include this number in every message to support.

How do I back up my notes, and how do I move them to a new device?

Export a backup file in Settings › My data › “Export entries” and keep it somewhere outside the device. On the new device choose “Import entries” and then “Merge” or “Replace”. On iPhone and iPad your entries also come along when you restore from an iCloud backup; on Android only through the backup file.

What is lost if I delete or reinstall the app?

When the app is deleted, the device also deletes everything you created in it: entries, settings, imported modules and audiobooks. So export your entries first. After reinstalling, read the backup file back in and import modules and audiobooks again; the progress and bookmarks of your audiobooks come from the backup file. Settings have to be made again.

A module cannot be imported. What can I do?

The app names the reason and suggests a remedy. It often helps to choose the module’s Bible file rather than the dictionary or commentary file, to use the MyBible version instead of a MySword module, to unpack a ZIP file containing several modules first, to download a damaged file again or to free up storage. If it still does not work, please send us the name of the module, where you got the file and the message shown.

Why does a module show different Strong’s numbers, or none?

A module’s Strong’s numbers come from its file and are marked “From the module”. If a module was imported with an older version of the app, import the same file again and choose “Re-import”; the app then takes over Strong’s numbers, footnotes and cross references, and your entries are kept.

Why does a word in the Luther or Elberfelder Bible have no Strong’s number?

In these editions the app aligns words mechanically and leaves every word without a number whose alignment is uncertain. Tapping it shows the original text of the verse with possible candidates. Some words also have no equivalent in the original at all because the translation adds them.

Why can I copy only a limited amount from the works?

The works and the Racovian NT are translations and editions of our own, and the app protects this work. Quoting is explicitly possible: up to 1,200 characters per quotation from one chapter or section, up to 12 verses from the Racovian NT, each with a source reference. If you copy a great deal in a short time, you have to wait briefly. The public-domain Bibles, the lexicon and the original text can be copied without limit.

Reading aloud stops when I leave the app. Why?

On Android the app’s reading aloud stops in the background and when the screen is locked. On iPhone and iPad it continues; if it stops there, check whether another app has taken over playback, and resume from the lock screen or Control Center. Audiobooks keep playing in the background on both platforms.

The Racovian NT or a work is not read aloud.

These texts are read only by a voice built into the device in the respective language. Download one: on iPhone and iPad in Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices, on Android in Settings › Accessibility › Text-to-speech output. Then choose the voice in the app under Settings › Read aloud. If a “Reading pause” appears, the limit for reading the works and the Racovian NT aloud has been reached; the app tells you when reading can continue.

How do I change the language of the content?

In Settings › Language › “Content language” choose Deutsch, English or Polski; this applies to the Bible text, the list of works and the lexicon. The language of the menus is set separately under “App language”. Which English or German Bible appears is chosen in Settings › Bible editions.

How do I import an audiobook, and why is my file rejected?

Save the M4B file on your device and choose it in the Audiobooks tab with “Add”. Rejected are files with copy protection (DRM), files in formats other than M4B or M4A with AAC audio, damaged files and files that exceed the limits for size, duration or number of chapters; for very large audiobooks it helps to choose the individual parts instead of one complete file.

Can I buy audiobooks in the app?

No, the app contains no purchases. The catalog “Audiobooks by Socinianism” shows which works are available as audiobooks; they are available in the shop at socinianism.com. You then add the file in the app yourself.

What are the differences between the iPhone/iPad and Android versions?

Content and features are largely the same. The differences: on Android reading aloud stops in the background, on iPhone and iPad it continues. On Android the app is excluded from the device backup, so you back up your entries there only with the backup file; the switch for audiobook files in the iCloud backup exists only on iPhone and iPad. On Android, Google Play installs updates from within the app; on iPhone and iPad the notice leads to the App Store. On iPad the two texts of the split view are shown side by side.

An entry shows “Place not found”. What does that mean?

After the content was updated, the place of this entry could no longer be found reliably, for example because a section of a work was revised. The entry is kept with its text excerpt and is included in exports. Feel free to write to us if you notice this.

Where do I report translation or text errors?

By e-mail to info@socinianism.com. Please give the edition and verse or the work and section, and the wording concerned. The easiest way is to select the passage and send it with its source reference via “Share”. For machine-translated lexicon entries, please mention the Strong’s number concerned.

How do I turn off the notice of new versions?

In Settings › About Socinus Bible › In the store › “Notify about new versions”. The app then no longer goes online on its own at all; you still receive updates through the App Store or Google Play.

Can I delete the Septuagint?

No, it is part of the app. In Settings › Bible modules you can hide it, however, so that it no longer appears in the pickers. Imported modules, by contrast, can be deleted there.

As of November 2026, version 1.0.4
