Und Gott chillte – Die Bibel in Kurznachrichten

“On the seventh day God had finished his creative project, thought the result was brilliant and decided to chill from now on.” Did you recognise the Bible quotation? This is how it would sound if Bible passages such as Genesis 1 2,1-3 were sent as text messages, tweets or WhatsApp messages! What began as a record attempt at the Kirchentag has grown into a viral movement: over 9,000 people have rewritten the texts of the Bible to fit the length of a tweet.

Tweeting the Bible – a playful way to God's word!

Messages handed down from Jesus are much shorter than Twitter messages. Other sections of Scripture are more complex and not so easy to interpret. At the Kirchentag in Bremen, the internet portal evangelisch.de called on visitors to rewrite the complete Bible. They actually succeeded in turning all the Bible texts into tweets within a single day! This was only possible because Christians of all denominations and all ages took part in this unique Bible project. The brevity of the tweets forced a concentration on the core of God's message. This created the slimmest Bible edition ever, entirely without thin-print paper – entertaining, concise and close to modern life!
