All the "Sword Data" is released under GPL:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/index.jsp

and can be grepped or run through perl, or whatever.

Maybe e-Sword is the coolest client, but are you absolutely sure
you can't load the data into the Debian apps?

The last time I looked at them it looked like they had many
dozen downloadable modules.  Maybe not all are distrbibuted.
Maybe you download them from the above link and put them in the
app directory.

Again, this is not "all the scholarly Bible Research there is" --
this is "All the Public Domain scholarly Bible Reserach there is."

You can do with the data whatever you feel like doing.

I'd just grep it.
