A complete, interactive Bible for your WordPress site. Scripture Atlas, cross-references, reading plans, and search, all on your own domain.

Derek Ziemer

BibleBridge puts a complete, interactive Bible on your own WordPress site: your domain, your name, your readers. Whether you run a church, a ministry, or a Bible blog, visitors read and explore Scripture directly on your site instead of being sent off to an outside app.
No YouVersion links. No BibleGateway iframes. Just Scripture, fully on your site.
What makes it different
Most Bible tools feel stitched together from separate parts. BibleBridge is one consistent Bible from start to finish.
<ul>
<li>One unified Bible experience, not a collection of disconnected tools</li>
<li>Switch translation once and everything follows: reading, search, cross-references, topics</li>
<li>Cross-references built for real study: connections that fit the passage, not just shared words</li>
<li>Everything stays on your domain, under your name. No accounts, no ads, no tracking for your visitors</li>
</ul>
What’s included
<ul>
<li>Scripture Atlas: 96 Bible topics connected by shared verses, from core doctrine to everyday Christian life</li>
<li>Cross-references: tap any verse to see related passages</li>
<li>KJV and Berean Standard Bible (BSB), both public domain, on every plan</li>
<li>Five reading plans: Bible in a Year, NT in 90 Days, NT in a Year, Gospel of John, Psalms & Proverbs</li>
<li>Full-text search with book filtering</li>
<li>Verse sharing, highlighting, and notes, with cloud sync across devices using a simple code (no account required)</li>
<li>Dark mode and a mobile layout</li>
<li>Shortcodes to embed Scripture anywhere on your site:
<ul>
<li>Verse: <code>[biblebridge_verse ref="John 3:16"]</code></li>
<li>Verse of the day: <code>[biblebridge_verse_of_the_day]</code></li>
<li>Reading plan: <code>[biblebridge_reading_plan slug="gospel-of-john" start="2026-06-01"]</code> (auto-updates daily)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
How it works
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to Settings → BibleBridge</li>
<li>Set your name (for example, “Grace Church Bible”)</li>
<li>Your Bible is live at yoursite.com/bible</li>
</ol>

External Services
This plugin relies on the BibleBridge API to serve Bible text, cross-references, search results, topic data, and reading plans. No Bible data is stored locally – all scripture content is fetched on demand from the API.
The plugin connects to the following services hosted at holybible.dev:
<ul>
<li>BibleBridge API (holybible.dev/api) – serves all Bible content including scripture text, search, cross-references, topics, and reading plan data. On plugin activation, the plugin sends your site URL and site name to automatically provision a free API key. During normal use, visitor search queries and page navigation result in API calls that include the API key and requested scripture references. No visitor personal data is collected or transmitted.</li>
<li>BibleBridge Sync (holybible.dev/reader/sync.php) – provides optional cross-device sync for visitor highlights, notes, and reading progress. Sync is initiated by visitors using an anonymous code (no email or account required). No personally identifiable information is collected.</li>
</ul>
