“One of the things that we have seen recently amid this [pandemic] is that reading the Bible by yourself can be lonely. You’re there alone to wrestle with questions. So we want to bring people together,” explains Paul Caminiti, senior director of mobilisation for IFBR.

The book publisher and an active think tank have worked together for the last few years to offer the increasingly popular “Immerse Bible Reading Experience“. 

The six-volume Bible was created to provide faith communities with the “best reading experience possible” by laying out the Scripture in a “single-column setting” with each chapter displayed “according to its literary genre” without notations, chapter and verse numbers, section headings, and footnotes.

The new initiative provides free copies of its book Immerse Messiah (narrating the books of Luke and Acts in novel form) along with a plethora of digital resources allowing users to hold their own “book club” sessions with members of their churches.

While at home, the initiative calls on users to host video conference studies so that they can discuss the text with others in their community. The free resources include prompts for open-ended questions that users can discuss and instructions on how to set up an account for Zoom video conferencing.
