Abbreviations for the books of the Bible

The entire collection of CATP tools have been designed to recognize a standard set of abbreviations for the various books of the Bible. These 3-letter abbreviations are listed in Tables

and

below. The importance of these abbreviations cannot be over emphasized as each CATP software program will check each text file of a Bible manuscript for the identity of the book of the Bible by the notation in the identification line. The abbreviations should always be typed in all upper case letters. In addition, the Bible book abbreviations used in file names are also taken from this list. In keeping with the total and consistent CATP support for these abbreviations, all references in this manual use these abbreviation.
