About this app

Multi Faith Library brings the sacred texts and classic introductions of twelve world traditions together in one calm, free reading app.

Read the Bible and the Qur'an, the Bhagavad Gita and the Dhammapada, the Tao Te Ching and the Analects, all in one place. Every book is a public-domain or openly licensed translation, and each one names its translator and source, so you always know exactly what you are reading.

WHAT'S IN THE LIBRARY
• Christianity: the World English Bible, with the Gospels and selected letters also as standalone books, and Open Bible Stories
• Islam: the Qur'an (ClearQuran translation by Talal Itani) and a brief introduction to Islam

READ YOUR WAY
• Works offline: every book is stored on your phone, with no account or sign-up

RESPECTFUL BY DESIGN
Multi Faith Library is made for curious and reflective reading, study and comparison. It does not rank traditions or tell you what to believe. Each text follows its published edition, with the translator and source shown alongside it.

PRIVACY
Your saved passages, reading progress and searches stay on your device. The app is free and supported by ads, and reading is never locked behind them.
