[ Excerpt | NAB Search | RSV Search | Catechism Search | Magisterium Search ]

These tools are brought to you free of charge by The Cross Reference, a Catholic blog run by Jeff Pinyan, covering a wide array of topics (from liturgy to apologetics, from study of Holy Scripture to current events). None of the content from these tools is property of The Cross Reference, and all of it is found elsewhere on the Internet already. These tools exist simply to make it easier to search the various sources represented here, as well as to further the glorification of God and the sanctification of His Church. If they contribute to any of these goals, I am pleased (and I hope He is too).

Very shortly (sometime in October), the NAB and RSV search tools will be upgraded: their current search engine is less powerful than the one used in the Catechism and Magisterial Search tools. The NAB and RSV search tools will also allow you to restrict your search terms to a single verse, whole chapter, or entire book of the Holy Bible. Also in October, the Scripture Excerpt tool will be improved to include (somewhere...) the footnotes (for the NAB and Douay-Rheims texts). I might also include links to relevant portions of the Catechism for these three Scripture tools.

I am aware of certain gaps (lacunas) in the Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate, and New Vulgate texts; if you find one, feel free to email me about it so I can take care of it. I will also get around to loading the footnotes for the Douay-Rheims text.

If you found these tools useful, please let your friends, family, and local church know about them (and let me know you let them know!). If you encountered problems, have suggestions for improvements, or have questions, comments, or compliments, feel free to email the author of these tools at his gmail.com account, TheCrossReference.
