EDMOND, Okla. \u2014 More than 500 years after Gutenberg, the Bible is having its i-moment.<\/p>\n

For millions of readers around the world, a wildly successful free Bible app, YouVersion, is changing how, where and when they read the Bible.<\/p>\n

Built by LifeChurch.tv<\/a>, one of the nation\u2019s largest and most technologically advanced evangelical churches, YouVersion is part of what the church calls its \u201cdigital missions.\u201d They include a platform for online church services and prepackaged worship videos that the church distributes free. A digital tithing system and an interactive children\u2019s Bible are in the works.<\/p>\n

This month, the app reached 100 million downloads, placing it in the company of technology start-ups like Instagram and Dropbox.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
