The SBL Greek New Testament is Ready to Download

That didn’t take long. The aforementioned new critical Greek New Testament has now been published in a variety of formats. You can start downloading here.

Here’s the really cool bit. Because they are providing the text in plain text, as well as other formats like PDF and XML, people have the freedom to play around with this stuff. What does that mean? It means you are not limited to Logos software (though that is available, and they have promised a free download for Logos on the iPhone). You can, for example, load a PDF onto Apple’s iBooks, and I’m sure a Kindle version is just around the corner.

And, within a couple of hours, Michael Hanel has already got a working copy running in Bibleworks, so grab that here.

For those who want to play around with the text for further distribution, you can find the license terms here. They are pretty lenient.

This is awesome stuff!
