Two tracks

King James
or Douay-Rheims.

AccelaStudy® AI Bible is coming soon with two tracks, one for each Bible.
Here is what each will read, and what the two share.

Coming soon. Everything on this page is planned.

Track one

The King James track.

The King James Version, with the canon and the memory work to match.

  • The 1769 text. Benjamin Blayney’s Oxford edition, reproduced almost unchanged in most current printings. It differs from the 1611 text mostly in spelling and punctuation.
  • The Protestant canon. 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books, 66 in all.
  • Memory work in a catechism the household chooses. The catechism question in each weekly lesson comes from the one your household uses.
  • Plain about its sources. Its doctrine lessons say plainly what they teach from.
  • An optional elective, planned. “The Apocrypha of the 1611 King James Bible” teaches the books the 1611 edition printed between the Testaments as history and literature, and labels them as such.

Track two

The Catholic track.

The Douay-Rheims, with the Catholic canon and the Catechism.

  • The Douay-Rheims. Bishop Challoner’s revision, in the 1899 American edition.
  • The Catholic canon. 46 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books, 73 in all. The deuterocanonical books are named and kept in their places: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and the Greek parts of Esther and Daniel.
  • Doctrine from the Catechism. Doctrine follows the Catechism of the Catholic Church, cited by paragraph.
  • The traditional prayers in memory work.
  • Planned courses include The Sunday Readings (each Sunday’s readings, rendered from the Douay-Rheims) and Reading Scripture with the Church.

One set of lessons on the text

What both tracks share.

  • The lessons on the text, in both Bibles.
  • The twelve eras, with maps and timelines.
  • The family cycle, one passage a week for the whole household.
  • Shared lessons describe what the text says and take no side.
  • Both tracks describe other Christians, and Jewish readers of the Hebrew Bible, accurately and charitably.

Same books, different labels

Names and numbers.

The two Bibles name and number some books differently.
