The Chiastic Bible Project
Description: The Chiastic Bible Project is an attempt at organizing
the entire Bible in its natural chiastic forms. It will be implemented
as a web application targeted primarily for tablet and smartphone usage.
Business model: The web application will be a two-tiered subscription
service—both a free and paid subscription service. The free
version will allow users to view the top-level chiastic structures of
the entire Bible but only the details of one book—the Book of Genesis.
The subscription-based version offers full access to all features
of the web application. Pricing for subscribers will be at a magazine
price of $10 to $20 per year. With proper advertising it is hoped that
a target audience of 100,000 subscribers (comparable to Christianity
Today) can be reached within 5 years of launch. Alternatively, an ad-based
model like BibleGateway could be considered—see Freewebsitereport
on BibleGateway (last updated 5/20/2013).
Development Phases
- Phase I. Gather and consolidate all available studies on
chiastic structures of the Bible onto one website in basic html format.
- Phase II. Develop a web application with basic Bible reader features which also allows dynamic
grouping and expansion of chiastic sections for easy reading and comparison.
- Phase III. Develop advanced features such as social networking, Hebrew/Greek lexicons, etc.
