Smith's Interlinear and Commentary

Smith's Interlinear and Commentary is the most famous Lovian theological work. It contains the Bible in Greek and Hebrew, the KJV, and an interlinear translation, as well as detailed commentary from the author, Theodore Smith, sr. It is one of the longest books ever published in Lovia.

Volume I
Book 1 talks about the many different denominations of Christianity. Although Smith mainly discusses Western Christianity (and has been criticised for this), he also devotes a number of chapters to the eastern church and various heresies. He discusses the many ways in which the Bible can be interpreted, and gives a lengthy description of Christian history. He acknowledges that irreligion is growing around the world and attempts to answer several criticisms of religion and Christianity in particular. Other religions are also briefly discussed.

Book 1 can stand alone without the other books and is often sold separately. When Edik Breyev published his Short History of Religion, it was essentially a abridgement of Smith's Volume 1.

Volumes II to VI
Volumes 2 to 6 provide detailed biblical analysis. They include the complete text of the King James Bible, as well as a interlinear translation written entirely by Smith. Smith provides detailed commentary in a separate column, where he discusses contraversial issues, as well as the difficulty of translating certain passages. The effect different have had on Western thought and famous Christian thinkers is also mentioned.

Volumes VIII to X
The final three volumes are texts from famous theological works. They are discussed in detail by Smith, who shows what he believes to be their good parts and faults. He also describes their effect on Christian belief. Among the texts included are The Imitation of Christ and the Apocrypha.

Trivia
Smith claimed the book had been begun by his grandfather and had been worked on by both his father and grandfather as well as him. Many historians disbelieve this, though others point out how hard it would have been for Smith to write the entire book in his lifetime. Each of 10 volumes has over a thousand pages, and the print is rather small.
