I have a colleague not from my organization who is needing assistance with creating a Bible Module. I have directed him to the Helps for this but he is still struggling. My experience with them is from +10 years ago and my workload is very heavy so that I am unable to give any time to figuring it out myself before helping him. Is someone able to work with him on this? Email me and I will connect you.
Thanks very much,
Shegnada

Since we published some lectionaries here in Cameroon, I have a feeling I’m among the most advanced users of Bible Modules from start through publication, and chapter 3 of this paper was the result:

There are a LOT of caveats, and Bible Modules seem to be quickly becoming a legacy feature. I covered everything I had encountered in the paper. Unfortunately, I can’t promise any personal time to work with your user in the coming months.

I have been using Bible Modules regularly, but we have not officially “published” many. Since our NT has a lot of “revised but not consultant-checked” books I’ve been printing just a few copies of seasonal sections of the lectionaries.I have been expecting to be asked to help facilitate more Scripture portion publications in the not-too-distant future. It has become a good bit easier to bring module-extracted portions to publication status with PTX Print!

One advantage of a Module publication is that you can specify illustrations in the Module specification file without inserting them directly into a Bible book. For example, our Christmas book, extracted from Luke and Matthew_Lee in chronological order, contains 10 or so illustrations, which will not all be used when the full MAT and LUK are published. I could insert pics and then remove them, but this makes the history more messy than if I simply add them to a module file.
