A Bible without verses or chapters

This blog covers a whole range of topics from running to geocaching to shoe boxes to understanding and applying the Bible. Earlier this week I went to a great presentation by Stephen Cage from an organisation called Biblica.

As you will see from the following couple of clips, one of their concerns is how people are engaging with the Bible - or how they are not engaging with it to be more specific. In many countries we have more access to the Bible then ever before. We have multiple translations at home, we have it on our computers, we can access it on our phones, we get it emailed in daily chunks...but are we really engaging with it? Are we getting into it and is it getting into us? And if not, why not?







The observant among you will have noticed that I wrote a blog a few days ago about Motivation (part 1) and you're probably wondering when part 2 is coming. It's in the pipeline! But I'm sure most of us are motivated by doing something with others - which is what makes the community aspect of this project so exciting.

At the moment I'm thinking about how we might use this resource in the new year as a whole church. Let me know what you think...
