BibleProject is a non-profit that explains the Bible through animation rather than commentary, and the app is where its whole library lives.
The videos are the draw. Each book of the Bible gets a short animated overview laying out its structure and argument, and separate series trace themes — covenant, exile, the temple, justice — across the whole of Scripture. They are unusually well made, and for someone who finds a book impenetrable on the page, seeing its shape first changes how it reads.
Alongside the videos are podcasts working through the same material in far more depth, guided reading plans pairing a passage with the video that covers it, and short audio guides for individual chapters.
Classes go further still, for anyone who wants structured study rather than an overview.
Everything is free and there is no advertising — the organisation is crowdfunded, and its material is also released under terms that allow churches and teachers to use it.
Free on Android and iOS.
