Quotations you can trust

Sacred-text quotations are short, come with their reference and are taken word for word from public-domain translations, such as the World English Bible, the JPS 1917 Tanakh and Pickthall's Qur'an. Each one is checked against the stored text. Other teachings are given in plain words with their reference.

Respectful and balanced

Beliefs are explained as each tradition holds them ("Many Muslims believe…"), and where views differ, such as Catholic and Protestant or Sunni and Shi'a, the app shows the range.
