What Is the Year of Biblical Literacy? The Year of Biblical Literacy is a collaborative project between Reality San Francisco, Bridgetown Church , The Bible Project , and the Read Scripture App . The project launched in 2016 at Reality SF and Bridgetown in an effort to provide a comprehensive resource for people to be deeply immersed and thoughtfully engaged in the Scriptures in both individual and communal settings. If you are a pastor, you can use these resources to lead your church through your own version of The Year of Biblical Literacy. To learn how to do that and to read about our experiences, click here . If you’re new to the Reality SF community, we highly recommend exploring these resources to enrich your understanding and experience of the Bible. Get Started There are several resources you will use throughout the year. On a weekly basis, you’ll need to access the daily reading plan, Read Scripture videos, and small group material. We also have topical sermons, themed lectures, and recommended books to help guide your year. Reading Plan The Bible Project and Read Scripture have created a unique and powerful daily reading experience called Read Scripture to help you engage with the Bible. We encourage you to download the Read Scripture App below, as it cleanly presents each day’s reading along with the beautiful Read Scripture videos. You can also download the PDF guide. Read Scripture App Reading Plan PDF Read Scripture Videos The Bible Project has created some amazing animated videos that provide context for every book in the Bible.
