Using Obsidian for Religious Texts
One of the surprising things about the Obsidian community is that many of them come to Obsidian because they study religious texts, for example, the Bible, a large referenced religious resource. Of course, this isn’t limited to the Bible.
Obsidian has the advantage of linking, so people like to link into chapters and verses, make notes, and bring in other commentary.
Obsidian is one of the most ideal tools for this kind of work, especially when combined with its plug-in system, CSS customizations, and its core feature of backlinks.
In this video, Mike Schmitz discusses his reading plan and how he developed an Obsidian, a very nice workflow even if you’re not interested in reading the Bible.

Mike highlights a few useful plugins:
- Templating
- Tasks
- Custom Callouts
- Force view notes mode
