CAROL STREAM, Ill. – Tyndale House Publishers (@tyndalehouse) has announced that October 9, 2018, will be the release date for the highly anticipated Filament Bible NLT, a cutting-edge print + digital Bible. Several years in development, the Filament Bible NLT (ISBN: 978-1-4964-3631-3, $59.99; 978-1-4964-3317-6, $79.99) introduces a patent-pending print + digital setup that provides opportunities never before featured in a single Bible.
Filament is unique in that the print Bible pairs seamlessly with smartphones or tablets through the Filament app, available free in the App Store and Google Play. The app uses the device’s camera to recognize the page and instantly connects to a rich set of curated content centered around that passage—study notes, profiles, devotionals, interactive maps, videos, and more.
“The concept is powerfully simple,” explains Keith Williams, senior editor for Bibles at Tyndale. “The print Bible features a carefully crafted page design, offering the best possible reading experience in a single-volume print Bible. A line-over-line single-column setting, generous font size and margins, and optimal line length create a strikingly beautiful presentation of God’s Word in a portable package.
“Filament is exciting because it allows us to do things we could never do in a print Bible, like including profiles for every person mentioned on a page or allowing the reader to tap and explore an interactive map,” says Williams. “At the same time, it also allows people to have a clean, uncluttered reading experience with the Bible when they want to engage directly with God’s Word.”
