Krakowian: what programs for the iPhone/iPad are available for Bible memorization and comprehension?

2011-08-24T13:58:46Z

what programs for the iPhone/iPad are available for Bible memorization and comprehension?

New page

Recently, on the Mac-Ministry mailing list, the question was asked:

"Are there any good Bible verse memory apps for MacOS? iOS?

Are there any sites with good techniques that would help with Bible verse memorization? Not just memorization but also understanding." (Glen L.)

Below are some of the better suggestions:

The Navigators have an app called VerseMinder which takes you through their Bible memory verses but also I believe allows you to enter more.

Then there is also one called MemVerses which is worth checking out -- might be found by searching Memory Verses.

A cool evangelism app by The Mobile Jesus Project is called Jesus. You might have to search for it under the developer's name however. (Christi Milligan)

Fighter Verses ($2.99)

I was just doing my daily Bible reading/studying in MantisBible, and
noticed its little "Memorize" button. I had forgotten that it has this
feature! In any case, I did a quick look, and it seems to implement
the memorize function in an interesting way. You tap on the "Memorize"
button to add a verse, and then, go to the "Notes" section of the app,
and tap on the verse to view it. You can then tap on words to make
them disappear as you go. Later, you can take a "test", which either
scrambles the words and you tap them in the proper order, or you tap
the first letter of the words in the proper order--your choice.

The one thing Mantis doesn't give you is verses to memorize. You have
to come up with those on your own. But if you are willing to take the
time to set it up, it could meet your needs for both of your specific
requests--I say "both" because Mantis is primarily a Bible study app,
with all the commentaries, etc. you will probably want.

Now, as to help with understanding, if I could humbly suggest one
commentary that I consider to be indispensable, and which should be in
everybody's biblical toolbox, I would suggest the following. Treasury
of Scripture Knowledge is typically listed as a commentary in Bible
software, but what it is is a thorough--and probably the most
exhaustive--system of cross references in existence. It breaks the
verse down by sections, and lists cross references that touch on that
part of the verse. Most verses in the Bible have numerous cross
references, frequently numbering in the tens of cross references per
verse. By doing this, the Bible becomes its own commentary, comparing
Scripture with Scripture, rather than man's interpretation of
Scripture (granted, men compiled the cross references, but they are so
deep and broad and carefully considered that it is hard to fault their
choices). If you used this tool alone, you would quickly find yourself
grasping the depth of what God's Word has to tell us.

As to MantisBible (and you can read about how much I like it on the
catug.org wiki page I wrote) and the TSK (the short name for Treasury
of Scripture Knowledge), it seems to be costing about $10. (Jon Glass)

BIBLE MEMORIZATION

Memorize Topically -

1) Choose your topic.
2) List all your references in Biblical Order. (On a single sheet of paper.)
3) Memorize all references FIRST.
4) Make 3x5 cards with verses on one side and refs. and topic on the other.
5) Walk as you work (if possible).
6) Review regularly.

How To Actually Memorize -

READ the verse 20 times a day Sun. - Sat.
(Don’t try to memorize the verse, just read it. You will usually have it memorized by Wed. or Thurs.)
After this - Recite it once a day for 49 days
After this - Recite it once a week for 7 weeks.
After this - Recite it once a month for life!

 REVIEW IS THE KEY FOR RECALLING WHAT YOU HAVE MEMORIZED! 

Make a “MEMORY BOX” to keep your cards in for easy review -

Number 49 tabbed file cards 1 through 49 for daily review.
Number 7 tabbed file cards 1 through 7 for weekly review.
Number 30 tabbed file cards 1 through 30 for monthly review.
Divide each section with a card that is a little higher than the tabs and goes the length of the card (3 1/2 X 5)
