Bible Study Magazine Gets Interactive

Today’s guest post is from Brittany Rogers, copy editor for the Publications department at Logos Bible Software.

Are you always on the hunt for fresh ways to study the Bible? Do you wish that you could visualize the biblical text instead of just having it explained to you? If you’re a visual learner, you’ll be excited to hear about the interactive media page at BibleStudyMagazine.com. You will find some of the Bible’s most complex data presented in appealing and easy-to-understand infographics. And it’s all right at your fingertips.

Each infographic has been created from content originally published in Bible Study Magazine. Here are just a few examples:

• Does the Bible really disagree with a historian and an Assyrian king? “God’s Word through Multiple Voices” examines one of the most controversial events in the Bible: Sennacherib’s invasion of Judah during Hezekiah’s reign. Not familiar with the foreign landscape of the Old Testament? Don’t worry. Using the interactive map, you can easily examine 2 Kings and the opposing accounts of Sennacherib’s campaigns across Judah.
• Just how tall was Goliath? Was he taller than NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal? And who really killed the giant? All of these questions and more are addressed in “Clash of the Manuscripts: Goliath and the Hebrew Text of the Old Testament.” What’s more, the original Hebrew text is color-coded, making passage comparison quick and easy.
• The New Testament didn’t drop out of heaven: Early Christians were persecuted by the Romans for possessing New Testament manuscripts in ancient times, yet they continued to make copies. So which fifth-century manuscript was most commonly reproduced? This inforgraphic uses a hot air balloon to demonstrate the popularity of the New Testament, comparing it to other works of the time by Josephus and Homer. The stats might surprise you.
