The New Testament was written by the oppressed, for the oppressed. Most translations buried that. Welcome to the Liberation & Inclusion Translation — a New Testament translated directly from the Greek by Brandon Vélez Johnson, a therapist and theologian who reads scripture from the perspective of those it was written to liberate. No jargon where the Greek didn't use jargon. No shame where Jesus didn't deal in shame. A God who looks like Jesus, throughout. It's free. It's offline-first. It requires no account. And it's built to be read. THE TRANSLATION — The New Testament, translated with faithfulness to the Greek and the people it speaks to most — Footnotes from the translator, inline as you read — Glossary of the biggest word changes and a guide to the Translation Commitments THE APP — Read entire books in a continuous scroll, not tapping through chapter by chapter — Hide verse & chapter numbers and footnotes to focus on the literature — Share your hot take on a passage with cards hand-rolled for social media — Highlight passages, take notes in the margins, sync both between iPhone and iPad — Easily follow lectionary readings for the upcoming Saturday & select feast days. — Accent color changes with the church calendar, or pick your own Supported by voluntary donations to the Liberating Scripture Collective. Every word stays free, and ad-free.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Holy Version Bible App at 4.6 against LIT Bible's 3.0. Holy Version Bible App also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 12) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). LIT Bible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Holy Version Bible App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Holy Version Bible App has 1.8K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Holy Version Bible App's written reviews are positive against 50% of LIT Bible's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
