Decanon vs Vivid Awakening

The canon, deconstructed. Decanon is a critical reading guide to all 66 books of the Protestant Bible. It breaks each book into concise, approachable sections and highlights passages that raise questions about violence, misogyny, slavery, anti-LGBTQ teaching, harm to children, science, history, internal consistency, racism, morality, and logic. EXPLORE THE CANON • Browse all 66 books by testament and category • Search book names, section titles, passage references, summaries, and annotations • Filter the catalog by any of 11 issue types • Expand each flag to read the full critical annotation • Use the passage reference to check the text in any Bible • Share sections or copy references CONTEXT, NOT MOCKERY Decanon is written for people examining or deconstructing claims of biblical inerrancy. Its goal is direct, respectful criticism—not mockery of religious people or the many ways people understand these texts. SOURCES AND SCOPE A general bibliography identifies works that informed the app’s editorial approach, including biblical scholarship and critical reference works. These are not item-level citations for every annotation. Decanon is a guide, not a Bible translation. It contains summaries, annotations, and passage references rather than the complete text of scripture. ACCESS Genesis and Exodus guides are included free.
