I've been following this project, it uses the SWORD engine that you posted
earlier. The development is undertandably slow but it does support a
variety of different data formats and works in a modular way. There have
been requests for SWORD and other projects to support a wide variety of
theological texts, so it should be adaptable to a number of different
situations.

Now I sound like an expert, uhoh :)
