The Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible or the JST Bible for short as an e-book app featuring voice output (TextToSpeech).● ENGLISH TEXT● ENGLISH VOICE OUTPUTThe Joseph Smith Translation of the holy Bible (JST), also called the Inspired Version (IV), was a revision of the Bible by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Smith considered this work to be "a branch of his calling" as a prophet. Smith was murdered before he ever deemed it complete, though most of his work on it was performed about a decade previous. The work is the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) with some significant additions and revisions. It is considered a sacred text and is part of the canon of Community of Christ (CoC), formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and other Latter Day Saint churches. Selections from the Joseph Smith Translation are also included in the footnotes and the appendix in the LDS-published King James Version of the Bible, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) has only officially canonized certain excerpts that appear in its Pearl of Great Price. These excerpts are the Book of Moses and Smith's revision of part of the Gospel of Matthew.The work of revisionThe Translation was intended to restore what Smith described as “many important points touching the salvation of men, [that] had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled.” But the work was not a literal translation from ancient documents, as the term translation is commonly used today. Neither was it an automatic and infallible process where "correct" words and phrases simply were revealed to Smith in final form. As with Joseph Smith's other translations, he reported that he was forced to "study it out in [his] mind" as part of the revelatory process. Sometimes Smith might revisit a given passage of scripture at a later time to give it a "plainer translation," because of additional knowledge or revelation about a subject.E-BOOK FEATURES:● Standalone software - no eBook reader needed● Daylight & nighttime colors● Voice output (text to speech, TTS)● Move to SD card● Clickable table of contents● English and German program language● Contents rotate automatically (portrait/landscape)● Fullscreen images on/off by long click● Options menu+ Help page+ Settings page - Text color - Background color - Text size - Typeface - Text padding - Reset+ Link to all iwpSoftware apps in Android Market+ Go to bookmark+ Set bookmark+ Set current image as wallpaper+ Link to image/item/descriptionThis app is available as a FREE and a PRO version.
