The WithYou Bible
Experience Scripture in community where words open in new ways and Pathways connect reading to living.
Rediscovering the Ancient Ways
For the first three hundred years, the early church thrived. They were like God's family, eating together and encouraging each other in the Spirit daily. Modern life can keep us apart. We work, we commute, we gather once in a while, and the result can be a quiet sense of isolation.
The WithYou Bible invites us to rediscover living in community and abiding in Jesus. When we read and respond together, we begin to see the same kind of multiplication of disciples that marked the early church.
Rediscovering the Ancient Meanings
The WithYou Bible helps us understand what the original readers were hearing, and how the words and meanings traveled through time and culture before reaching us today.
The Five Lenses
Each key word opens up five lenses starting from how we hear it today and going all the way back to what it originally meant.
Tap the word to see how its meaning changed as it passed through the various cultural lenses and read the related verses with new (old) perspective.
Words that aren't highlighted are taken straight from the public domain World English Bible (WEB).
Tap any word to see its meaning through five lenses
Connect through Pathways
When a glossary word connects to WithYou Pathways, you can step directly from Scripture into practice.
Pathways help you and a friend walk through the implications of what you learned together, so that it becomes something you do together.
Connected Pathways guide you from reading into practice
It's a working draft
The WithYou Bible is in active development.
Watch it unfold in beta and help shape its future by clicking 'feedback' in the glossary. You can comment on the work that's been done or do your own research and submit suggestions.
This is an invitation to participate in helping people who don't have a church background to understand the scriptures for themselves, and people familiar with the Bible to see things differently.
