LIT Bible

A Liberation & Inclusion Bible

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

2,000 years of harmful translations choices have piled up. LIT Bible starts with a refusal to launder that harm, and the joy to celebrate a fully Christlike God. 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 — Add highlights in four colors, write personal notes in the margins, use iCloud to sync across your devices — Revised Common Lectionary through 2028, home screen widget — 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.
