Promising Online Bible
By Martin Spriggs:Bio on August 19, 2008
Last week at the Church Media conference in Dallas, TX, I was introduced to a new online Bible called YouVersion (www.youversion.com). I’ve used Bible Gateway for some time now, but YouVersion adds a social networking component to the concept. I’d definitely call it a Web 2.0 application. While it’s still in beta it’s worth a look. Many transations are available, including NIV. You can take notes on passages (and share them with others if you like). Within those comments you can post links, pictures and even YouTube videos. There is also a journaling function if you’d like to record your thoughts.
Future enhancements will include a “group” feature which I believe will allow Bible study groups to form and share thoughts, as well as contact lists. In short it looks live a viable way to do online Bible study with a small, or even larger groups.
