About Spectrum Bible

This Bible app is simple, simple, simple to use. I kept simplifying the design of this app until my talented, but computer-challenged, wife could use it without guidance. She is the one to thank for how easy Spectrum Bible™ is to use and my time as AOL Chief Architect taught me to listen to her.

A quick swipe left or right shows you the same passage in another translation. The left-most column shows the whole passage in the original Greek or Hebrew. You can quickly tell you how literal a version is by its color: sky blues and purples are word-for-word translations, transitional greens are for the phrase-for-phrase translations, and earth tones are for the thought-for-thought translations.

The study helps that come with Spectrum Bible™ include a book and study guides that spring out of our Dallas Theological Seminary training that and take you through a simple four step approach to reading the Bible and address how to stay motivated while you do it.

The Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament is included and is presented so simply that you can touch a word and get its meaning and parsing without knowing anything about Greek or Hebrew. The Original Language Nuggets Tool is also included so that, with in-app additions from the store, you can easily track any word back to the Greek or Hebrew word it translates. Even if you can not pronounce it, in seconds Spectrum Bible™ enables you to find all the places the word is used and narrow down your understanding of its meaning.

The Internet is NOT required to use this Bible. That's because each Bible is stored on your Phone or Pad. That is also why the app is so fast. If you are wondering about how much space it takes up on your Phone or Pad, if you upgrade to the Fully Loaded bulk purchase option and download everything to your device, that takes up less space than one 15 second video.

The resources that come with the free download and the bulk purchasing options in the store give you a simple way to get fully setup. The study helps give you a tool that is integrated into the app so you can increase your Bible reading skill anywhere on your phone.

The app has always had the ability to pinch to change the font size and to pinch to change the number of columns that are showing. Now you can also pinch to change the number of rows that are visible. Each row presents a different passage and scrolls independently.

Without changing the core of the app, the name has been changed from WAVE Parallel Bible to Spectrum Bible. All the usernames and services remain the same.

1.2.0
Oct 26, 2018
This version makes available a new visual way to connect the English words of each Bible with the corresponding Greek or Hebrew words. This new tool is called WAVELinks to the Greek/Hebrew and is available from the In-app Store by the Bible book. You can select a phrase of interest in a Bible book that has WAVELinks (or one of the three sample verses from the book) and get a literal translation and see how each English Bible translates the phrase. Then you can look into the Original and find the contribution of each Greek or Hebrew word to the phrase's literal translation. The tool works by touch. You just touch a word of interest and its phrase is highlighted in all of the parallel columns. Once you find the word of interest you can launch a word search with the touch of a button to conduct your very own 60 second Greek or Hebrew word study. All of this is made usable for people that do not know anything about Greek or Hebrew.
1.1.5
Jul 13, 2018
This version installs ubs3 as the Original Panel Greek text and introduces the Manuscripts Panel to the left of the Original Panel. A new Mini-book is also added to the Store to explain this new Panel. Additional Flicker Video courses, WAVE101 & WAVE102, are Free additions to the Store. Also, two new Flicker study guides have been added to the Store.

This version also fixes a launch crash that has been reported by a few users and has additional stability improvements. If you have any difficulty with this version, send email to support@wavestudybible.com and we will help.
1.1.4
Jan 23, 2018

If anyone experiences difficulty with this version, send email to support@wavestudybible.com and we will help.
