Xiphos is a Bible study application for GNOME, a graphical desktop environment which is available for Linux and UNIX. Xiphos is based on The SWORD Project by the CrossWire Bible Society, a framework for providing tools useful for studying the Bible and additional information like commentaries, dictionaries, and other texts using your computer.

Xiphos is a digital text reader with bookmarks and full-text search. It allows viewing multiple versions of the same text, for parallel reading of alternative versions or translations. It also supports personal verse-specific notes and a rich-text study pad, both of which have spell checking and search functionality. Xiphos has a built-in facility to browse and install freely-distributed content from CrossWire repositories.
