The Bible & Quran Project

Initiated by Tim Herb the project aims to map all biblical and Quranic names and to connect these with the genealogical and historical information given in the Biblical texts. As Wikibase allows contradicting statements we will not try to harmonise the information. The project will rather offer competing chronologies and genealogies according to the various statements of the individual books.

The project is still in its initial stages: The first target was a Bible reference system on FactGrid - every verse needed a Q-Number. We should connect these to texts — the BibleServer.com translations might be a practical partner here. We started a free Protestant text base: the King James Version and a Luther Version of 1912. This too needs to be expanded.

We are presently mapping the Biblical protagonists on this grid. GND and Wikidata identifiers should solidify this work; connections of family ties and places are on our road map. A couple of first searches:
