Abrahamic Reader: 3 Texts

Three sacred texts. One conversation.

Abrahamic Reader brings together the Christian Bible, the Hebrew Torah, and the Quran in a single distraction-free reader — and helps you discover the verses that echo across them.

The reader is free. An optional one-time $0.99 unlock adds the Parallels & Divergences explorer and the Study deck.

Read any text in English. Toggle on the original-language verse — Hebrew for the Torah, Arabic for the Quran — and watch them appear side by side with their translation. Tap any verse to reveal curated cross-references: the creation, the first humans, the Garden, the patriarchs, the prophets, the moments shared across traditions.

FREE — EVERYTHING WORKS OFFLINE

• Full King James Bible — all 66 books, 31,102 verses

• Full Torah — 5 books in JPS English with the original Hebrew

• Full Quran — all 114 surahs in Pickthall English with the original Arabic

• No account, no signup, no internet required to read

FREE — CURATED CROSS-REFERENCES

A growing library of hand-picked parallels between the three texts. Tap a verse marked with a link icon to see related passages from the other traditions — with a brief note on what connects them.

FREE — AI PARALLELS (BRING YOUR OWN KEY)

Bring your own Anthropic API key and use Claude to discover additional thematic and linguistic parallels for any verse, on demand. Your key stays on your device. You pay Anthropic directly for what you use — no middleman.

FREE — HIGHLIGHT AND RETURN

Long-press to highlight any verse. The app remembers where you left off and gives you one tap back to your last chapter.
