At BibleTech 2010 I attended a presentation from Aaron Linne (from B&H Publishing) who presented the Bible Navigator X – a Bible reader for the X Box 360 – not only is it the first Bible for the XBox 360 – it’s also the first book……. 
Bible Navigator X includes a complete HCSB Bible, has search and bookmarking features and can be purchased for USD$5 or 400 Microsoft Points.
Aaron demoed the app on Saturday night and I liked how it looked. The highlighted verse changes as selected by the XBox controller, the theme can be changed to different colours, the font sizes easily changed, when shown on a widescreen HD television its a great resource for a small group looking at different passages. I can see our youth in front of an LCD TV Xbox plugged in, getting plastered with scripture. Cool.
Now that the text is on – who knows what we should be looking out for next:
- incorporated games – fighting battles alongside Joshua?
- movies, images and audio enhancements?
- virtual tours or interactive fly-overs across some of the locations mentioned in Scripture?
- shared online reading and discussing of scripture?
- game level styled Bible reading plans?
Great work by Aaron and his team!
