bible-study

A repository for performing analysis on scripture with LLMs. This is a work-in-progress and code will be improved over time.

Requirements

• .NET 8
• Docker Desktop
• An NVIDIA GPU with minimum 12GB RAM
  • Alternatively, you can use a smaller model than R1:14b and then you need less V/RAM

How to run

• Run docker-compose up in the root folder of the project. This will spin up the ollama container with DeepSeek-R1:14b for the console app to call via API.
• Set up the books you want to analyze in output/config.json as a JSON array
  • Alternatively, you can disable the code that checks which books are enabled and it will run against the entire dataset
• Run the Console app to begin analysis
• Update prompt engineering and return fields as necessary to create your own research plan.

Resources

• JSON version of the KJV Bible courtesy of the MIT licensed repo at kenyonbowers/BibleJSON
• DeepSeek-R1, MS phi4 used under MIT license as detailed at ollama here and here
• This repository uses the Crossway ESV API to compare that translation with the KJV. A valid application registration there and API token is required to use this functionality, as the ESV is not an openly licensed text. This repository also has a request limiting feature in to comply with Crossway's terms of service.
