Ceci est une ancienne révision du document !
For the last two months, we installed BibleTime, downloaded a set of books to use in it, and configured the application’s preferences. We also began looking at the basic functionality. This month, we’ll wrap up by looking at more of the basic functionality.
BibleTime and Hyperlink Functionality
One of the valuable functions we have for Bible study in BibleTime is the ability to do cross-referencing by use of hyperlinks. Just for fun, let’s open the book Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, but in French (Hi, Elizabeth!), by clicking the arrow next to Books in the left-hand pane, then the arrow next to French. Double-click the book icon that says FrePilgrim, and the book will open in the right-hand reading pane (bottom left)
Now, let’s click the hyperlink in blue for Luc 14:33 (bottom right).
As you can see, in the lower left pane, called the Mag Viewer, the passage will come up in the default Bible translation we set earlier in Configuration (see Everyday Ubuntu in Full Circle Magazine issue #169, page 50). Even though we pulled up the book in French, the application does as should be expected and pulls up the link in our preferred translation, which in this case is in English (New English Translation, to be specific).
Other Book Types: Maps and Atlases
Now, back to the BibleTime main interface screen.
Let’s click the arrow next to Maps and Images, then English in the left-hand navigation pane. Now, double-click on Smith’s Bible Atlas (bottom left).
Now, let’s scroll down to Egyptian Empire, 1450 BC, and click (bottom right).
So, as you see, we get a beautiful color map of the Egyptian Empire as of 1450 BC.
Other Book Types: More To See
In the left-hand selection pane, you will also see lists of many other types of books and material according to what you have installed. There are Bibles, lexicons, dictionaries, glossaries, theological books, Christian fiction like the aforementioned Pilgrim’s Progress, daily devotionals, and many other works available to aid you in your Bible studies. You can build quite an impressive library of books that are free to download. Just double-click them and read away!
