📖 Introducing Biblicana v1.4 — Your Ultimate Bible Study Companion! 🙌

Biblicana

User Install is here. Add Biblicana to your personal Discord account and use it in DMs, private channels, or any server you're in — even servers where Biblicana isn't installed. Visit the bot's profile → Add App → Install to my account.

What's new

📖 Adam Clarke is now the default commentator — fuller and more verse-focused than the previous default. Use /commentary or tap the Commentary button after any /bible lookup. Swap commentators anytime from the dropdown.

⛪ Browse all 334 Church Fathers with /fathers list:true — from Clement to Augustine to Chrysostom.

⚡ Faster lookups — database indexing cut /topicalindex, /crossref, and other query-heavy commands from several seconds to milliseconds.

🧭 Sharper UX
• Multi-ref prophecy fulfillments now open each verse independently
• /places search prioritizes exact matches
• Audio narration plays inline again on desktop
• Plus a pile of smaller polish across the bot

🛡️ Abuse protection — /find and /web now cap at 10 calls per user per hour to keep API costs sustainable.

🔧 Under the hood — hardened SQL handling, per-user rate limits, and lightweight usage analytics (command names and user IDs only — no message content is ever read).

Questions? Run /help.
