How will we honor founding supporters?
All founding supporters of Open Source Bible will have their names printed in the opening pages of the First Edition.
Why is this project so important?
By supporting this project you are freeing the scriptures from corporate interests. We are creating a translation, a font, and a layout that can be freely used for generations to come. We are also publishing and selling a premium Bible below market average, and we are even disclosing our publishing supply chain so that others can use our files to publish their own Bibles for distribution without asking permission. This is how the revolution starts.
Will this project require ongoing support?
No, we will not require ongoing support. The founding supporters of this project are covering the initial costs. This means that if we sell the initial 1,000 Bibles then we will be able to use the revenue from those sells to produce the next 1,000 Bibles.
By supporting this first print run you are creating an endless cycle of premium Bibles being sold below market value to the people of God.
