Berea
Examine the Scriptures.
A scripture-study companion that reasons with you, not at you. Cites every claim back to the passage it came from — Scripture, the Fathers, Aquinas, Pascal, the Stoics, Maimonides, comparative-religion primaries — without picking a denominational side. Named for the Bereans of Acts 17:11, who examined Paul's teaching against Scripture daily.

Berea is named for the Bereans of Acts 17:11, who "examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." The same posture: reasoning alongside you, not at you. Truth above tribe. Every claim Berea makes is cited back to the actual passage — tap the chip to read the source yourself. No black box.
Ask it anything you'd ask a study partner
- "What did Jesus mean by be perfect?"
- "Walk me through the Sermon on the Mount."
- "How do Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant readings of communion differ?"
- "What does the Greek word agape do that English misses?"
- "Help me think about the Trinity for a skeptic."
- "How do I read the Psalms in grief?"
What's in the library
~81,000 passages from 29 sources, growing. Scripture in English, Greek, and Hebrew. The Apocrypha. Augustine, Athanasius, the Ante-Nicene Fathers, Aquinas's Summa. Pascal, Chesterton, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Plato, Maimonides. The Mishnah. Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius for first-century context. Comparative-religion primaries (Quran, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching, Dhammapada). And Rediscovering Imago Dei by Christopher McElwain — with the book's own bibliography wired up, so Berea can cite the underlying sources Chris cites, not just the book.
