Frequently asked questions

What is Bible Atlas?

Bible Atlas is a free online Bible reader that keeps the context beside the text. As you read, names, places, journeys and themes are highlighted — tap one and a panel opens with an interactive map, a short profile, a family line, a timeline and the passages where it appears. The Scripture itself never leaves the screen.

Which Bible translations can I read?

The default is the King James Version. You can also switch to the World English Bible, American Standard Version, Young's Literal Translation, Darby, Bible in Basic English, Douay-Rheims and several non-English public-domain texts including Luther 1912, Segond 1910, Almeida, Statenvertaling, the Russian Synodal Bible, the Chinese Union Version and the Latin Vulgate.

Does Bible Atlas work offline?

Yes. You can download the complete King James Version to your device in a few megabytes and keep reading, searching and using highlights with no connection. Chapters you have already opened are also cached automatically.

Is Bible Atlas free?

Yes. Reading, maps, journeys, the concordance, offline download and verse sharing are all free, and there is no account required to start reading.

Where do the maps and place information come from?

Routes and places are drawn from the biblical text itself, with each stop tied to the passage that records it, plus widely accepted historical geography for locations and approximate distances. Every journey stop links straight back to the Scripture it comes from so you can check it as you go.

How does the concordance work?

The concordance indexes the full King James text, so searching a word returns every occurrence grouped by how it is used and where it appears — for example 'faith' in the Torah compared with Paul's letters — with a chart of occurrences by book and links back into the chapter you are reading.

Can I share a verse?

Yes. Any verse can be shared as a link that opens directly on that verse, with a branded preview card showing the reference and the verse text on WhatsApp, iMessage, X, Telegram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Discord.
