Scripture
This part of the publishing process is where you define the canon and division structure for each publication. (A content bundle may have multiple publications; read this article to learn more.) This screenshot shows what is displayed on this page:
Content order
The files of the content bundle may be arranged in one of two ways:
- Canonical - This is a traditional order of books in the Bible. This is most commonly used for text content.
- Other - This allows the content to be listed in other arrangements: chronological, narrative, theme, or something else you define. This option is recommended for story-based content and sign-language video.
Canon type
What is included in your content bundle and in what order? The canon type selected will determine the options for canon components in the next section.
Select the portions of the Bible that your files include: OT (Old Testament), NT (New Testament), and/or DC (Deuterocanonical). The drop-down list looks like this:
Canon components
This drop-down list will be automatically populated by the names of different traditions and how they arrange the order of the Bible books.
For example, the Canon type of OT could be ordered in one of four traditions, as shown:
Divisions
Divisions are set up based on the content order selected in the first section above, either Canonical or Other. Each division will become a subfolder into which files will be uploaded in the Files part of the publishing process.
Content order: Canonical
When the content order is set to Canonical, a division corresponds to each Bible book based on the Canon type and tradition component selected above. For a quick setup, click on the ‘Generate structure’ button to automatically create the list of book divisions.
Content order: Other
When the content order is set to Other, add one division at a time that corresponds with each chronological or narrative arrangement.
Click on the ‘Add division’ button, and fill in the division info for Short name, Long name, and Abbreviation.
Under the section titled Scripture reference, you may optionally add reference(s) to associate this division to other Bible passages.
When you’re done adding divisions in sequential order to organize your content bundle, click ‘Save and continue’ in the footer to proceed to 'Files.'
