Why this is listed

Confirmed on readscripture.org: built by a volunteer team at Basil Technologies in the San Francisco Bay Area, not affiliated with any denomination, on iOS and Android. The App Store listing shows it as free; the videos come from BibleProject, which Grain already lists separately.

How to start

  1. Open readscripture.org (opens an external site) and read what Basil Technologies says about itself before you read anything else.
  2. Confirm the cost and level fit: free, introductory, over months.
  3. Note the tradition — Non-denominational. It will shape what you are taught, and that is worth knowing going in.
  4. Put the first session in your calendar now. The gap between reading about study and doing it is a calendar entry.
