Oh, it is. Its actually not weird at all. You have to copyright a work to 
apply a license to it; also, public domain works can be turned around and 
re-copyrighted as apart of a new work.

So, if he wants to ensure his new bible remains free, then he has to copyright 
it so he can Creative Commons it.
