Ecclesia Bible is an AI-enhanced Bible that gives you access to deep understanding and insights in scripture, like never before. • Source Language Mode — this mode allows you to view the original Hebrew or Greek alongside every verse, you can tap any word to get a complete dictionary entry. Unlike other concordance-based bibles, our dictionary is ai-based, which means we have a dictionary entry for EVERY SINGLE source word, not just a smaller portion of them (eg Strong's). Source language is presented in its original form, so you can view every single source word and tap through dictionary entries one by one. In-app audible pronunciation of every word is available as well. • Correlation Mode — this mode allows you to see a 'rainbow chart' of how all of the verses are connected to each other—through allegory, parallel, reference, foreshadowing, etc. This mode allows you to navigate the bible through logical connections rather than traditional arrangement. Almost 50,000 logical correlations have been made via Artificial Intelligence. • Illumination Mode — this mode highlights key words in various colors indicating that additional information is available. Upon tapping a color coated phrase, you will be able to access information about the Symbolism (General or Typological) or Exegesis (Historical Context, Cultural Context, or Theological Context). These various insights were organized and produced with state of the art AI systems trained on large amounts of historical Christian literature. • Translational Variations Mode — this mode shows verses with the various translational variations of phrases displayed in-line, so you can naturally read all of the various native interpretations of a verse, in English, real-time. These variations have been produced via A.I. trained extensively on Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Greek. Ecclesia Bible is a Dynamic Equivalence translation of the Protestant Bible, based on WEB, based on ASV, based on RV, based on KJV; with ai-powered translation from the source Hebrew and Greek.
