[sword-devel] Other religions?

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Lee,

as you can see from

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/about/index.jsp and 
http://www.crosswire.org/crosswire/about.jsp

Crosswire is a christian organisation and Sword a christian project. 

This does, however, not mean that Crosswire would despise people and / or 
sources of other religions. I just means that this project has a christian 
focus. It already has a few  texts from "cult" or "unorthodox" religions 
(from a christian perspective):
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Cults
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?beta=true&tester=true&modType=Cults
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?beta=true&tester=true&modType=Books
 
More will probably added in future, as we are interested in studying other 
faiths.

Crosswire will however, by deliberate choice, always make a distinction 
between "mainstream christian" matierial and texts that do not fall into this 
category.

Does this answer your question?

Martin
