Scrollmapper

Scrollmapper is a long-running open project dedicated to making Bible text data freely accessible in structured, developer-friendly formats.
It is best known for its large set of Bible databases: full versions, deuterocanonical works, and extensive cross-references.

This is, to date, the largest contribution I’ve made to the internet: a set of repositories that together contain hundreds of commits, thousands of verses, and multiple formats designed for both research and application development.

Repositories

• scrollmapper – The Scrollmapper App created in Godot. Exists to read and map cannonical and losts texts.
• bible_databases – core database of Bible versions and cross-references, with 1.4k+ stars, ~440 forks, and 160+ commits.
• bible_databases_deuterocanonical – extended dataset including deuterocanonical books.
• scrollmapper (organization) – the umbrella GitHub account hosting the project family.

Purpose

Scrollmapper exists to:

• Provide open, structured text for developers, researchers, and educators.
• Enable cross-referencing, search, and analysis of scripture across traditions.
• Preserve these texts in simple formats (SQL, JSON, CSV, etc.) for long-term use.

Scrollmapper continues to grow as a community resource for anyone building tools, visualizations, or studies that rely on open Biblical text data.
