Posted on March 16, 2016 by .BIBLE Registry Categories: Examples, Online Presence

One of the easiest and fastest ways to add the Bible is the free Bible widget provided by American Bible Society (Registry Operator of the .BIBLE top-level domain). The Bible widget quickly embedded into your site enables your website visitors to search the entire Bible. The Bible widget can search for a Bible passage or keyword—and your users will never leave the comfort of your site. 

     Update November 2019: This post is kept online for archival purposes, even though its content has been changed with a recent update. The new URL for the free Bible widget is https://bibles.org/widget—add free tools to your blog or website like search, passage, and auto-linker. Read more about the free Bible Widget.
