    People who have done work on Biblical corpora for language engineering
    purposes and who would be best qualified to answer your question are:

    Mark Olsen, ARTFL Project, University of Chicago
    mark@gide.uchicago.edu
    http://estragon.uchicago.edu/Bibles/

    Please note that on the ARTFL project site indicated above, there is the
    following statement:
    "The Humanities Text Initative no longer distributes the the SGML version of
    the Luther Bible, on request of the copyright holder."

    This implies that someone has already developed a DTD. Hopefully Mark Olsen
    can be of assistance.

    Also note that several Bible corpora language engineering reference articles
    were indicated in the Corpora list messages dated:
