Religion / Bible Translated Into Emojis 'for Millennials' by AjayiWrites2: 7:50pm On Jun 01, 2016 |
A new translation of the Bible updates the religious text with modern technology, replacing several words with emojis. The digital text titled "Bible Emoji: Scripture 4 Millenials" uses Apple's vast library of emoticons to retell all 66 books of the Bible in a way intended to relate to young people. In addition to the ebook, the "Bible Emoji" website also allows users to produce their own translations by typing a Bible verse into a text box and having it converted to emoji. The translator behind the project, who would only identify him- or herself with the cool-dude-with-sunglasses emoji, told the Guardian that the inspiration for the project came from the idea of a futuristic Bible written within the constraints of social media outlets like Twitter. "I thought if we fast-forwarded 100 years in the future, an emoji Bible would exist," the translator said. "I wanted to make it similar to how you might text or tweet a Bible verse, by shrinking the total character count." The translator said he began tweeting the verses as a "public proofread" to gauge people's interest in the emoji Bible. Bible Emoji is available on iTunes for $2.99, but the translator stated he was not able to develop versions for Android and Amazon ebook platforms as they do not recognize Apple's emojis.
