Scripture & Stone
Read full descriptionHide full description
Walk into the story. Scripture & Stone connects your Bible reading with the places where the story unfolds. Explore interactive maps, follow guided journeys, and read scripture alongside historical context and archaeological research—all in an app made for iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE THE BIBLICAL WORLD Follow ten journeys from Abraham to Revelation, with 158 mapped locations. Switch between satellite imagery and a standard map, explore nearby groups of places, and filter a journey by period. Numbered stops and dotted lines help you follow the story's sequence. READ A PASSAGE. FIND ITS PLACES. Start with a reference such as John 4 or Matthew 5:1–12 to find places connected to the app's selected scripture passages. You can also search across place names, events, scripture text, and archaeological topics. Passage coverage is a curated selection, not a complete Bible index. FOLLOW A GUIDED EXPLORATION Take a short tour through Holy Week, explore the Sea of Galilee, or visit the Seven Churches. Move from stop to stop, consider a reflection question, and return to your saved progress when you're ready to continue. Holy Week and Galilee are included free; Seven Churches requires the All Maps unlock. LOOK BENEATH THE SURFACE Each location pairs its biblical narrative with scripture references, historical context, and research. Read about inscriptions, buildings, artifacts, and excavations. Enlarge archaeological images and follow source links to learn more. SEE PLACES THROUGH TIME Discover where a place appears across different journeys. Compare the modern landscape with historical overlays for the Persian Empire, Herod's kingdom, and the Roman Empire in AD 117. Reconstructed boundaries and site locations are approximate; dotted routes show story order, not exact ancient roads. MAKE IT PART OF YOUR STUDY Save places to revisit and share passages, location notes, or a study map. On iPhone, choose Map, Split, or Read to suit the moment. On iPad, explore the map and read the details side by side. Choose Light, Dark, or your device's appearance setting. TEN JOURNEYS • The Life & Ministry of Jesus • The Exodus • The Patriarchs • The Conquest of Canaan • The Judges • Kings & Prophets • The Divided Kingdom • The Exile & Return • The Journeys of Paul • The Seven Churches START WITH TWO FREE MAPS The Life & Ministry of Jesus and The Exodus are included free.
