Project Wittenberg Abbreviations
for Books of the Bible
in HTML Links
Abbreviations for Biblical Books and Standard Works should use
theses suggested five-letter abbreviation for the books of the
Bible in your links. We are building a set of Scripture passages
in contemporary english known as the Internet Bible. By using
these abbreviations, you will be able to easily link to it, simply
by adding the ICLNet URL when the passage is available. We will
also put standard works, such as the BOOK OF CONCORD, online there
eventually. By using our abbreviations, you will be able to link
to them as well. Use the form:
book00.html#00
book = Abbreviation of the book of the Bible.
000 = Chapter. Use one digit for small book, two for larger ones
and three for the Psalms.
