Using Reader's Mode in the New ESV Bible App

A New Reading Experience . . .

Last year, Crossway’s innovative ESV Reader’s Bible made waves as a beautiful new edition designed to help Bible readers engage with the biblical text as it was originally written: a single, unbroken narrative. To this end, we removed verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes so as to declutter each page and help readers focus their attention on the biblical text itself.

Check out the ESV Reader’s Bible for yourself. You can also take a look at the forthcoming ESV Reader’s Gospels (September 2015).

. . . Now on Your Phone

Did you know that Crossway’s free ESV Bible app for iPhone and iPad features it’s own Reader’s Mode, allowing you to read the biblical text without verse numbers, section headings, cross-references, or translation footnotes?

What’s more, everything from the way the text is displayed on the screen to the available font options has been carefully designed to make the experience of reading God’s Word on your mobile device as distraction-free as possible.
