The Holy Bible Web Service

This is the entire Bible (American Standard) made available through a web service. I wrote the entire thing using C# and .NET.

You can view the ASMX for this service here. You can view the WSDL here.
I'm not an overly religious person by any means. This was a fun project and interesting to work on.

Feel free to incorporate it into your own applications. If you'd like to just link to this page from your own website, place the following HTML in your page.

Send me feedback through the "Contact Me" link if you like this service.
To my knowledge this is the first Web Service of the Bible on the internet.

This page is just a consumer of that web service. Pick a book and a chapter you'd like to view.

Book: Chapter:
VerseContent
001In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
002And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
003And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
004And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
005And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
006And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
007And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
008And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
009And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
010And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
