Bible logic
Bible logic is the logical stuff in a bible. It contains numbering and ordering of books, chapters and verses including references to verses and commentaries. Bible logic can be implemented both physically in printed books and electronically in computer programs. This article focus on bible logic in computer programs.

Verse lookup
Both books and programs can be used to quickly look up verses. Often an experience used can look up verses very quickly in his favorite printet books, and he may even know it by hearth. The less experienced user may prefer the electronic version, for he may not remember in which order the books are ordered.

Search features.
Search features usually requires extra printed pages like an concordance in the physical books, in electronic books this is not always needed, but can help performance and can provide search results faster, on modern multi-core computers and tablets search should always be very fast. With electronic bible logic it is also easier to provide multiple word searches.

Bible compare features
Some bible users like to compare different bible translations. Here it is easy to look up verses in multiple bibles, but often a bit faster in the electronic version. Also where different bible translations may have a different verse ordering, an electronic version may help this by indicating to the user which verses and words match by using color codes. Color is much cheaper to use electronically than on printed paper.

History and bookmarks
Printed books often have build in strings to use for bookmarks and it is easy to add extra ones. Electronic may help even more easily by providing a history of which verses were looked, it could even be combined with GPS data, so the user can find the verses given at specific locations, like church.

Church usage
Bible logic can also be used in church, configured to show only the permitted or required bible versions. Also in mixed language congregations it can be used to show multiple translations simultaneously.

Included material
Besides translations of bibles bible logic can include Christian art, audio, explaining articles, dictionaries and much much more.
