You can read The Word on our website, or using apps or computer software. Sample: The Word for 2024-12-31.
]]>Since 2019, the authors of our apps for The Word have also been providing specialized devotional calendar apps called Una Parola per Oggi for the Italian ministry Edizioni CEM:
The Una Parola per Oggi printed calendar and new apps have been published by Edizioni GBU.
Edizioni GBU wants to replace the previous "old apps" by their new ones.
The new apps are not related with the authors of our apps for The Word.
Please direct all questions about Una Parola per Oggi to the new publisher Edizioni GBU: unaparolaperoggi@edizionigbu.it.
We regret any inconvenience for the readers of the "old" apps.
At the team of Bible 2.0, we are grateful that we could be part of this ministry for 2019 through 2024.
We put it all back to the Lord, HE knows all things, HE knows us, and from His grace we all are living. To HIM be the glory.
For comfort of previous app users, the existing "old" apps will still display the new calendar text from Edizioni GBU in 2024, but without the audio functionality, and with a clear hint to switch to the new apps. Edizioni GBU urges you to use their new apps.
Within few weeks, the calendar text will no more be available for the old apps - if you've already installed an old app but not yet opened it to retrieve the 2024 text, you won't get it any more.
Update 2024-02-16: the calendar text is no more available.
Please head over to the Edizioni GBU app.

Our initial announcement from 2019 (note: links now broken!):
]]>For more about the NeÜ, see the German page derbibelvertrauen.de by Karl-Heinz Vanheiden.
]]>Here's how to do this:
Some applications for The Word will prompt you to install the 2024 update, or update automatically on the 1st of January 2024.
]]>A button "Bible Context" shows some additional verses from the Bible, directly below The Word.
An additional button "Other Bible Editions" lets you select from the ca. 30 available Bible editions. For each of them, you can also show the Bible context below The Word.
On a mobile device, all portions are shown in one column you can scroll through.
On a larger screen, other Bible editions may be shown side by side, as well as the two chapters of the Bible context.
I like to open the page in the mobile browser and read the chapter around The Word, and also inspect The Word in some other German or English Bible editions.
]]>Now the link targets the start page in the language of the Bible edition used, not the English start page.
]]>Now the link targets the start page in the language of the Bible edition used, not the English start page.
As an example, the output of the URL https://bible2.net/service/today/inline/HoffnungFuerAlle with the German Bible edition "Hoffnung für Alle" links to the German start page https://bible2.net/de.
]]>Example:
Up to today, the HTML returned contained two links (copyright / startpage) with a 16x16 icon, each. On our mobile Facebook page, the copyright icon was shown scaled up, in bad quality.
Therefore now the links are returned
In case you need to style the two hyperlinks on your site, they contain CSS classes, see below.
The change in detail:

]]>The Word:
The new pages consume fewer transfer bandwidth. The look nice also on mobile and make use of space on large screens.
