For all their usefulness, they’re taking a toll. I downloaded Glo Bible on my iPad and have been using it daily for the last two months.īut - and you knew there was a but - I’ve come to think digital Bibles are hurting us. Sentimental as I am about hardcopies, the feel of paper and book bindings, I figured I should give a Bible app a try. Now the Bible can be shared more easily, reproduced more cheaply, and accessed, possibly, more conveniently. I think that’s really good news - wordplay intended. Over the last decade, Bible apps and digital scripture have taken off.

In our minds, and, probably, on our bookshelves. We trust it differently than we trust Mere Christianity.Īnd while we don’t worship the Bible, we give it a special place.

We are captivated by it differently than we are captivated by Lord of the Flies. We believe it differently than we believe in Divergent. It is the Word of God.Īnd because there’s a spirit and a strength to this book, we treat it differently than the rest of the things we read.
