The RHEMA Project
The RHEMA Project is a personal labor of love to use technology to create and curate a Repository of Historical Ecclesiastical MAnuscripts (RHEMA). For a long time now I’ve wanted to understand how the Church has changed through history, and since beginning to collect and read through these documents I’ve been learning much about how God has continued to work through the Bride of Christ since our Lord’s ascension. As I sit with our spiritual forefathers, I hope to be able to share some of what I have learned. I pray that as fellow sojourners in the wilderness of this world you would find these books helpful in your walk with Christ.
The RHEMA Project Ebook Study Bible
Have you ever been reading the Bible and wondered what a specific word means in Hebrew? Do you wish your study notes provided more information? Are you daunted by seminary-level texts? Do you think that DRM in a digital age is antiquated and that ideas and information should be freely available?
If you said “yes” to any of those you might be interested in this project. I’ve taken the most essential Bible study resources that I use on a regular basis and combined them together into one meticulously hyperlinked file. The result is a study Bible that you can take on your e-reading device of choice. If, like me, you have an e-ink reader and would like to use it to spend time studying the Bible, this book just may be for you.

It is several things. On the one hand, The RHEMA Project is a series of homemade python scripts designed to organize, analyze, and publish a Repository of Historical, Ecclesiastical MAnuscripts (RHEMA). It’s also a carefully curated collection of documents taken from various sources on the web.
On the other hand, it represents my commitment to walking with the Church through the ages, collecting the writings of the saints and sitting at their feet to learn from them. -
For two reasons. First, it corresponds to a greek word meaning “utterance,” and is intended to recognize that the most I can provide are words; it is God, working through His Spirit that makes those words have meaning.
It is also a riff on the Logos software; Logos is powerful, but also complicated and protected by copyright.

God willing, yes. I’ve already put together one on the Early Church, but I’m not happy with the quality of the cross references yet… but that’s just a good excuse to research.

Yes… eventually. Right now it’s “engineering code,” which is to say I didn’t comment anything. I’m working on migrating it to Git so that anyone can access it.
