SCRIPTURE ATLAS
Terms
Scripture Atlas is a free personal project, not a product and not a company. These terms are short because there is not much to say, and plain because dressing it up would be worse than saying it.
Last updated: 23 August 2026
What this is
A Bible reading and study tool built by one person, offered free, with no advertising and nothing for sale. Accounts exist only so your own study follows you between devices.
What you can expect
Nothing contractual. It runs on a personal hosting account and a personal database, and it can go down, lose data, or stop entirely. It is offered as-is, with no warranty and no guarantee of availability or of your data surviving.
That is not a disclaimer to wave past — it is the reason Download my study exists in the reading settings. Use it. A copy on your own machine is the only guarantee this project can honestly offer.
Using it
Read, study, quote, print, and share what you write. Please do not:
- Hammer the server with bulk downloads — the Scripture text is public domain and free to take from its source at berean.bible, which will serve you better than this site will.
- Redeploy the content as your own — see the note on rights below.
- Attempt to reach other people’s accounts or notes.
Accounts are invite-only. I may remove an account that is being used to attack the site or anyone using it.
What you write is yours
Your notes, highlights and notebook entries belong to you. I claim no rights over them, do not use them for any purpose, and will delete them on request. They are stored so the app can show them back to you, and for no other reason.
Rights in the content
The Scripture text is the Berean Standard Bible, placed in the public domain on 30 April 2023. It is not mine, but it is not anyone’s — copy it, quote it, republish it, build on it. The publishers ask for nothing, and neither do I.
The historical commentaries by Joseph Benson, John Wesley and Albert Barnes are in the public domain. Chapter notes, place descriptions, maps and study material written for this app are mine, are not peer-reviewed, and carry no institutional backing — read them as one editor’s working notes and weigh them against the named commentators.
The source code is open under the MIT licence. The contents of the data directory are not covered by it.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. If a change matters, it will be obvious rather than buried.
