About Alethea Forge

Read the classics of the Christian tradition and put them to work. Alethea Forge pairs a library of classical theological texts with a research assistant that answers only from the books themselves — every claim cited to the passage it came from. LIBRARY AND READER • A curated bookstore of classical works: Augustine, Calvin, Watson, Bavinck, and more • A fast, comfortable reader built for long-form study • Open any citation directly at the exact passage in the book THEOLOGICAL JOURNALS • Openly licensed academic journals (such as Themelios and HTS Teologiese Studies), rendered as their original typeset pages • Highlight, add notes, search, and listen with read-aloud — the same study tools as books RESEARCH • Ask questions across the whole corpus, or scope research to a single book • Answers are grounded in the texts and cited line by line • Counsel mode weighs pastoral questions against multiple voices from the tradition • X-ray a book: its central argument, chapter-by-chapter summaries, key figures and themes, and its most quotable passages STUDY PROJECTS • Turn research into saved studies: multi-week study guides with Scripture readings and discussion questions • Write and keep study notes with a clean typeset reading view • Export any document to PDF or Word and share it FORGE PREMIUM Reading is free.

What’s new

Version 1.1.1 · Updated August 13, 2026

Opening books from your research is now rock-solid: - "Open in book" from answers, citations, and highlights now waits for the exact passage to be located before jumping in - no more landing in the wrong place or nothing happening - Quoted passages with ellipses (...) are now found correctly inside the book - If a passage can't be pinpointed, the book still opens gracefully instead of failing silently Also in this update: - Research answers redesigned with book-page typography and elegant footnote-style citations - Illustrated book covers re-rendered edge-to-edge and properly centered - Reading time is now recorded accurately even if the app closes or your phone locks mid-session - A "Convening the traditions..." note appears while a roundtable answer is assembled - Polished spacing around the question box
