About SourceView 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.
• Read through Scripture with various SphereView highlights turned on
• Explore key passages for each sphere
• Meditate on how a source's words relate to and impact society

* SphereView will be available for free for a limited preview period. In the future it will require an in-app purchase.

It took a lot of work to get this app filled with this rich data. And now after a few months the Android version seems stable. Good job! Looking forward to many hours of reading, studying and discovering!

Q70%
by Q####:

It seems slow to find verses. It seems to occupy and consume too many device resources. For one used to other Bible apps this seems confusing and too millennial, maybe it will appeal to them!

P70%
by P####:

Why isn't this built to sit on my SD card? Why does it have to sit on my internal memory & consume precious space? That's my only grouse.

Enjoy this app a lot. It searches the Bible way differently than other apps and is a powerful tool in conversational Bible studies, Witnessing and person Bible study. App is growing in strength and they are working out bugs. Highly recommended.

Despite all the last 2 updates, I don't see any improvement so far. Can't still copy and share verse and still takes forever to load books. It has a long way to go

Z70%
by Z####:

I've always wanted a Bible app like this! Love the description about the books and how to read it.

Z70%
by Z####:

It took a while to get it but now! Please make available for tablet though, it doesn't even work on my little 7"...

Z70%
by Z####:

I love the layout, the content and the way the app shows the interconnectedness of God's amazing plan for human history through His Word. This is going to stimulate a lot of people in their ministry thinking and outworking as they consider the impact of their lives from this fresh perspective. The absence of a 'home' button knocks off half a star as does the fact that I am not driven to the help screen on first run, which is one of the best I've seen. This must be the first screen a fresh user sees.

Z70%
by Z####:

I use this great resource almost every day. However, it is 100MB in size and I'm not able to move it to an SD card. This action would be incredibly helpful especially for Android users or else your phone storage will fill up fast.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a Bible app unlike any I've used before. The depth available here is unbelievable. Rather than a digital copy of a physical book, the Sourceview team has taken advantage of 21st century technology and made it applicable to the Bible. Just like a normal Bible app, I can look things up by chapter and verse. But I can also look things up based on who is speaking, who they're speaking to, the profession of the speaker, the time period, and so many other things. So amazing.

Z70%
by Z####:

(3.5 stars) I liked this app, really interesting way to breakdown the bible. However the UI needs a bit of thinking through, it is not easily apparent how to get back to the home screen (it is ironically called 'discover') most apps have a simple visual way to get to a home screen - this you have to first learn a new terminology ('discover') and then find it in a drop down list. Great app, love it, just maybe needs a few tweeks to be more intuitive.

V70%
by V####:

This app is incredible! 200+ purple from over 50 nations spent 40,000+ hours researching and developing this app. Never before has the body of Christ had a tool like this to study Biblical truths specifically related to their calling! This brings the Bible alive in all new ways! I love it!

Z70%
by Z####:

Seems like a powerful tool once all the bugs are worked out. It continually crashed on my Samsung Edge. And the cutesy names should be abandoned and go with standards such as "Home", etc.

B70%
by B####:

This is an excellent bible app with a great wealth of ways to study the bible, not just for finding the verse and a simple concordance, but also for sorting by theme, speaker, application of the bible to different areas in society etc. etc. Greatly enriching for studying Gods Word and finding truth! Highly recommended...

Z70%
by Z####:

But it crashed, and I'm sure of the future development and improvement of this app.

B70%
by B####:

Never managed to this app launched successfully; it crashed every single time. Feelin' an uninstall coming on...

R70%
by R####:

Just released, so has some bugs to work out, but an incredible app nonetheless. I look forward to seeing future additions (other translations, dictionaries and study tools), revisions and polish which will most likely make this my go-to Bible app.

Z70%
by Z####:

A totally new way to engage with the scriptures that has never been available. This will transform Bible study for generations.

S70%
by S####:

Been an Olive Bible user for some years, but this app stands apart for its devotional and creative study features. The NLT keeps the freshness for the one looking for a conversational relationship with God.

Z70%
by Z####:

A great app allowing you to join the conversation and have an understanding if what is happening and who/whom is talking/listening. Well done guys with the development.

H70%
by H####:

I have been through a lot of bible apps and this is the best one yet. Doesn't need to always been online. Incredible search tools!
