non-Bible text

The title of the Bible book should not be considered as non-Bible text.

I've turned off all those pericope headings a long time ago

Now I turned off chapter and verse numbers in the New Testament.

This all helps to carry the thought over from one chapter to the next.

But book names?

We don't all want editors telling us things and separating the Bible text, but book names are not separating anything that shouldn't be separated.

Thank you

    I wouldn't want book names in my search result counts. If I need to verify the book name, it is in the navigation box. Others may feel differently.

    I don't think @Larry Craig is talking about search - but about what happens when he turns off the display of non-bible text in a Bible.

    I'm talking about what I see when I read my Bible. For now I have the verse and chapter numbers turned off when I read the Greek NT. But I have always been annoyed by pericope headings when I read the Bible. They isolate passages like they exist is their own separate world. Chapter numbers were OK, but they do break up the flow of the text, so we rarely see a context extending to the previous chapter.

    But the name of the book? That's an entirely different thing. They are not added by the publisher.
