The digital culture works with music and image and interaction with the reader. Therefore, the eBible project prioritizes the combination of this two elements in the production of the eBible®.
Imagen
The text of the Bible is illustrated in an iconic and sequential language. Every Biblical book is parceled out in several pericope, i.e. a set of verses that forms a coherent unit based on a narrative sequence carrying both content and its theological lesson. Every pericope and its illustration have a background of Biblical analysis based on modern and traditional theology.
This is a creative process: the text is the point of departure and the image is the point of arrival. Therefore, image, music and God’s Word are merged in a whole full digital creation ready for an interactive digital communication. In addition, both image and text in the pericope have their intellectual effect thanks to its Biblical message.
However, the emotional and spiritual effect will be assured thanks to the artistic proposal of the illustration. In the end, the reader feels that he/she is listening to God’s Word speaking both intellectually and emotionally to him/her. Rationality and emotion are balanced in the eBible’s digital proposal.
Symbols
There are different symbols in every Biblical illustration. Those symbols came from the Christiam tradition of Biblical analysis developed from Middles Ages until the present days. These symbols go in depth in the exploration of the meaning of God’s Word, and also they allow the reader to encounter God. There are pop-up windows where the interpretation of these symbols is placed.
MUSIC
The unabridged text is recited with music background and sound effects illustrating psychological, narrative and theological states present in the pericope (Biblical fragmend + its image). This music in composed in purpose for every single fragment and is chosen for the stimulation of the reading and listening to the Word.
We can conclude that illustrators and composers are a crucial part of this Collective Work in the eBible project. They contribute to this complex process of digital creation.
The illustrator expresses the Collective Author’s ideas and dips his/her brush in his/her on creativity and personal style. These ideas come from the author’s directions based on his theological analysis of the Bible. The illustrators combine the own artistic creativity while they capture in the brush all of the theological and religious symbols.
During these last seven years many creative people have supported this collective work of illustration of the Bible by contributing with their artistic creations. In this place we will be listing the names of the persons who are about to finish their artistic works destined to the downloadable eBooks of the eBible. These are the illustrators who have contributed for the already published eBooks:

The composers create the background music made in purpose for every pericope (Biblical fragment) accompanied by its equivalent illustration. Most of the music background of the eBible project is made in purpose based on the theological and psychological context of every narrative scene that take place in every Biblical fragment or pericope. There are also musical creations composed by contributors who enliven general moods present in the Bible. Finally, there are some public domain compositions that reflect many moods of our illustrations.
During the last four years we have received many musical contributions created in purpose for this project.In this place we will be listing the names of the persons who are about to finish their musical compositions destined to the downloadable eBooks of the eBible full of illustrations accompanied with music. These are the composers who have contributed for the already published eBooks:
