The World English Bible New Testament

This was a Bible that Rosie requested over a year ago, I believe.  My interest in it is that the translation is based on the Majority Text.  Translations based on the majority text are rare.  That is also why my interest was primarily in the N.T., that is, for comparison purposes.  It uses the American Standard Bible as a base text and is in public domain.  Only book and chapters are in the table of contents and milestones.  I did not do verses. I am sure it is not error free.  If anyone so wishes they could continue the process of improving it.  Hopefully Logos will eventually offer this translation.

    I have made some further improvements, like removing more of the underlining of words etc.  The overall format is still the same.

    Jerry, first thanks for taking the time to create a PBB of the World English Bible.

    Jerry & all, unfortunately, both throw errors when I try to build them with Logos 7 (Mac). In both cases, I get warned "Unable to apply topics to article 'A_UNKNOWN'. Article Length is zero.". What follows appears to just be blow back from that error. A search on the word file for 'A_UNKNOWN' generates no hits and I'm not sure what it's using as a source for article (name). Any suggestions?

    The warning and error entries from the build log:

    [Warning] Unable to apply topics to article 'A_UNKNOWN'. Article Length is zero.
    [Error] Article 'A_UNKNOWN' has no content; articles cannot be empty.
    [Error] The Compile Failed
