Oh, for crying out loud. You need an invite for the Bible. Congratulations, Web 2.0, you are now entering counter-reformation.com, we are just going to build a little time machine and go beat up Gutenberg (there is a nice analogy here with Steve Gillmor's really rather strange anti-link crusade) and make sure them common people without invites don't get access. 
This shit happens with all the 2.0 projects, but this one just takes the biscuit.
Here's what will get me interested: if they add a tag option, so I can go through and tag all the cool bits of the Bible with tags like "evil", "insane divine jealousy", "irresponsible behaviour for the creator of the universe" and "mistranslation of a mistranslation of a dumb idea". (No offence, folks.)
Seriously, there is a great use here which is compiling a cross-reference for academic theologians - so if you're reading a theological text, you can go on to the site and it'd give you the ability to print out a sheet with all the relevant verses on there for quick-reference. That means that theological texts aren't chained to the table. Similarly, if one is researching a particular chapter, you could get a list of all the theological texts that have discussed that verse, passage, chapter or book with user comments and categorisation.
Hook it up to All Consuming. That's got a nice big book database with some precursory attention data on those books (namely, who's read 'em and what they think of them).
I'm guessing it's some serious hard-arse Catholics who are building a Bible you need an invitation to read.
