Read Scripture

Read Scripture brings the Bible to life with videos and a clear plan

Read Scripture is a thoughtfully crafted tool for anyone who wants to engage with the Bible in a deeper, more structured way. Rather than simply presenting the text, it guides you through a curated year-long reading plan, helping you move from Genesis to Revelation with clarity and purpose.

The standout feature is its integration of videos from the Bible Project. These short, visually rich animations introduce each book of the Bible, unpack key themes, and offer practical tips on how to read different genres of Scripture. For newcomers, this makes intimidating passages far more approachable; for seasoned readers, it adds fresh insight and context.

The interface is clean, modern and distraction-free, letting the biblical text (in the English Standard Version) take center stage. Navigation between today’s readings, past sessions and upcoming passages is intuitive, so it’s easy to pick up where you left off or jump to a specific book.

Read Scripture also respects different ways of engaging with faith. You can follow the plan on your own for personal devotion or use it in a group setting, where everyone tracks the same readings and videos together. This flexibility makes it suitable for individuals, small groups or even entire congregations.

On the downside, the focus on a single translation may disappoint users who like to compare versions, and those looking for in-depth study tools (commentaries, original language tools, extensive notes) may find the feature set intentionally streamlined.

Overall, Read Scripture excels as a guided reading companion: visually engaging, well organized, and firmly centered on helping users experience the Bible’s “truth and beauty” for themselves.
