BibleTime is a Bible study application built with Qt4, using the Sword programming library to work with Bible texts, commentaries, dictionaries and books provided by the Crosswire Bible Society.

Back in June of 1999 Thomas Hagedorn, Thorsten Uhlmann and Joachim Ansorg started to work on a Bible study application for KDE 1.0.

The first version was released two months later as version 0.1. This version was very simple and supported only the most basic things.

After three months of hard work version 0.2 was released to the public. This version was usable, it supported basic printing, searching and offered a simple editor for personal notes.

BibleTime 0.2 was later ported to KDE 2 and totally redesigned with a more powerful interface, better printing and a lot of internal changes. This version was called BibleTime 0.3

BibleTime 1.0, which was released almost one year after version 0.3 and was the first version we considered as stable.

BibleTime 1.1 and 1.2 followed later on. BibleTime 1.2 is the first version of BibleTime for version 3.0 of KDE.

BibleTime version 1.5 was released in July 2005 after a long time of development.

BibleTime version 1.6 was released in September 2006, and utilized CLucene as its search engine.

BibleTime version 1.7 was released in January 2008, it is the first version developed with Qt4 for use with KDE4.
