THE HOLY STORY THROUGH IMAGES

It is possible to read Bible essential episodes, from Creation to Apocalypse, from Moses to Christ, with the help of more than 600 images. They are equipped with versets to offer an effective summary of the tale. This summary has been realized from the original text.

 

THE BIBLE WORLD IN THE ATLAS AND 3D CHRONOLOGY

Places and events of the Bible world are presented in two virtual branches: the atlas and the chronology. Computer graphics reconstructions and satellite maps are illustrated by photos that show the archeological sites and the most important finds in Bible history and geography.

SYMBOLS

Symbols are gathered in 6 theme sections: universe, everyday life, animals and plants, human body, colours and numbers. The users can click on a section, so that it opens and the symbol icons arrange all around the users themselves. Then every symbol presents a verset list to disclose its Bible meaning.

VIRTUAL CATHEDRAL

BibleWorld includes a 3D reconstruction of a virtual cathedral that becomes the synthesis of the whole Bible. The most significant Holy Scripture passages can be found exploring it like a videogame: the Genesis tale illustrated on the floor, the Apocalypse painted on the ceiling, prophets’ and apostles’ figures in the side naves. The whole Bible becomes a 3D book in BibleWorld cathedral.
