What a session can look like
- Choose a text, from a reading plan, a topic or a passage you are going through.
- Make the outline with one click: text, questions and a prayer, ready to print.
- Read together. Use two translations side by side if someone finds the language difficult.
- Look at the background when needed: maps, timeline, people and the original text.
- End with prayer, and send a link home so everyone can read on.

Common questions
Do participants need an account?
No. Everything on this page works without an account. An account is only needed to save your own bookmarks, notes and reading-plan progress.
Can we print and copy?
Yes. Use the Print button, or the Aa menu at the top of a Bible page. The Bible texts have open licences, and we ask that you credit the source.
Which translations can we use?
Norwegian: Open Teksten Bibel, Åpen Bibel and Bibel 1930. English: BSB, KJV, WEB, ASV and Darby. Newer Norwegian translations need agreements with the rights holders, and we are working on that.
Who is behind the content?
The texts and data are open sources, and the conversation outlines are templates we have written. Answers from Ask the Bible are AI-assisted and always show the actual Bible text. See Sources for details.
Is this adapted to our church or tradition?
The tools are neutral and tell what the texts say, naming different Christian views where they exist. Adapt the outline to your tradition.
Simple and open
You do not need an account to use this in the congregation, in the group or in teaching. Bible texts and data are openly licensed, and you can print and share. We ask that you link to the source.
