About Melanated Scripture

The Bible is BIPOC.

Melanated Scripture is an immersive audio project rooted in a simple premise: the people of the Bible looked like us.

Through multi-voice performances of the World English Bible, scripture is heard within the cultural, geographic, and historical world from which it emerged — voices that reflect the melanated reality of the ancient Near East and Africa.

The merchandise carries that work beyond the listening experience. Scripture, language, and identity you can wear and share — a daily reminder of who you are and whose you are.
