SourceView Bible

Introducing a fresh, innovative way to discover more about what's in the Bible.

Introducing a fresh, innovative way to discover more about what’s in the Bible. The SourceView Bible app is not just a digital version of the printed Bible. It is an entirely new experience. It takes a deeper look at God’s story: what’s been written, who said what, and how its words impact and shape our lives, our work, and our world.

READ THE BIBLE IN A FRESH NEW WAY

• Biblical text in four different colors reads dramatically like a script.

• Color defines source roles per book:

– Red letters when God speaks

– Green letters when the speaking source is a lead character

– Blue for supporting sources

– Narration is always black text

• See who is speaking by revealing source names with a simple swipe to the right.

• Scroll through an entire book without the disruption of turning pages or stepping through chapters.

• All books and chapters have a calculated read time so you can plan your study accordingly.

• We’re excited to launch SourceView in the New Living Translation, a version true to the original languages and easy to read out loud or privately.

• In groups, readers can pick a color to read aloud, like taking a part in a dramatic script.

START YOUR JOURNEY OF ENDLESS DISCOVERY

• Learn things you never knew about the Bible by observing data points that have never been available until now.

• See the relative word count of books and chapters and the amount each role played in them.

• Look closer at who speaks, the words they used, and to whom they were directed.

• Create pie charts, bar charts, and word clouds from information you’re curious about:

– Who speaks most in the Bible?

– Who said the word “peace” in the Bible?

– What professions spoke in the book of Genesis?

– Who spoke most in a given time period?

– What words does God say to women in the Old Testament?

• All visual discoveries point you right back to the Scripture that corresponds to your charts.

NAVIGATE THE BIBLE LIKE NEVER BEFORE

• Quickly jump to a passage by entering a variety of different reference searches, e.g. J3:16 (verse) or John Jesus 18 (occurrence)

• Step backward or forward through screens you have already seen, which is great for jumping around during a sermon or Bible lesson.

• View a history of the screens you have seen direct links to key areas in the app, and any personally bookmarked location in Scripture.

* Occurrence counts are the number of times a source spoke in a book. John Jesus 18 is the 18th time Jesus spoke in John—similar to lines of a script.

GET TO KNOW WHO SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE AND THE ROLE THEY PLAY

• See how much a source said and step through each speaking occurrence.

• Review who a source spoke to and who spoke to that source.

• Jump into any conversation by stepping through what one source says to another.

• Learn more about a source's background, like when they live, what they did for work, and what books they speak in.

• Gain a deeper understanding of a source's personal character by focusing on the words they used.

• Observe how a source's words connect to the seven spheres of society with SphereView unlocked.

OBSERVE HOW SCRIPTURE SHAPES A BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW*

Society is shaped by seven spheres of influence. With the SphereView in-app purchase unlocked, you'll be able to make personal observations about how scripture can be used to shape a Biblical Christian worldview.
