Since launching in July 2024, Bible Gateway: News & Knowledge has had one central purpose: to help readers better understand, study, and live out the Bible.
Over the past two years, we have been grateful to publish stories on a variety of topics by a wide range of voices, from bestselling authors, top biblical scholars, and influential pastors to emerging writers and content creators — all in service to the glory of God.
That work is not changing.
But today, we are excited to share that we are expanding our editorial work into a new and important area: fresh, original reporting on Bible-related news from around the world.

German Foundation Adapts Bible for People With Dementia — May 16: The Marburger Medien Foundation in Germany released “Encountering Jesus,” a simplified Bible designed for people with dementia. It features plain language and illustrations drawn from the Gospel of Luke to evoke faith-based memories, provide comfort, and foster conversations for those with dementia and their caregivers. It’s intended for use in care homes, senior groups, and pastoral services. The downside? It’s currently only available in German. (Christian Daily)

How Psalm 122 Blends Memory and Hope of Renewed Jerusalem — May 17: A new closeup of Psalm 122 shows how it reflects on the glory of ancient Jerusalem, blending memory, longing, and hope from a postexilic vantage. The psalm envisions a bustling city filled with pilgrims, justice, and divine presence, portraying Jerusalem as both a past reality and a future ideal. Urging readers to “seek the peace of Jerusalem,” it movingly recalls the city during its First Temple era while expressing hope for its restoration. (The Torah)

Many folks are pretty surprised to find out that I am a pretty skeptical individual. I have to admit that I need to see and corroborate the evidence before coming to a conclusion because I don’t want to be hoodwinked.
As a skeptic, I take a similar approach to the New Testament. If I’m going to believe what the Gospels say, I need to first determine whether I can trust what they say. I need to test whether they are historically reliable.
So how can we know the New Testament Gospels are historically accurate? What sort of questions do we need to ask? Over the years, we have found four particular tests to be especially helpful when it comes to addressing skepticism and guiding Christians through their doubts about the Bible.

What happens at the intersection of religious belief and AI?
That’s the question on many of our minds as we watch the seemingly strange merger of the spiritual and the machine. There’s a give-and-take relationship between faith and AI, and it’s worth considering who (or what) is influencing whom.
How can Christians use AI responsibly, and what can AI learn from people of faith?

Have you ever wondered who the Holy Spirit really is and how He works in your life? Maybe you didn’t grow up in a faith tradition that engaged with the Holy Spirit beyond words on a page, or perhaps the Spirit has been an active part of your faith experience. Either way, it’s never too late to deepen your understanding of the third member of the Trinity.
The Holy Spirit is God’s personal presence with us. On the day of Pentecost, God gave us the Spirit to guide, comfort, and empower us every day (Acts 2:1-4). It's for this reason we can't avoid or downplay His importance — in fact, understanding and engaging with the Holy Spirit deepens our understanding of God Himself!
As Pentecost approaches, now is the perfect time to prepare your heart and mind. These Bible studies are designed to help you understand the Holy Spirit, experience His presence, and live a Spirit-filled life.

This year on Easter Sunday, after months of guiding the church school through the life, miracles, and teachings of Jesus, a children’s minister I know finally got to tell them about the glory of the Resurrection. She explained how everything led up to that moment, its incredible significance for Jesus’ followers, and its enduring power for us today. And then a little boy raised his hand and said, “So, when can we go and visit him?”
For many Christians, like that boy, there’s a bit of a mysterious gap between Easter and Pentecost. Jesus is risen, then poof, he’s gone, sending the Holy Spirit in his stead.
But the Bible does not present the Ascension as Jesus simply “leaving the story.” Instead, it is a major event inaugurating the enthronement of the risen Christ, the beginning of his heavenly ministry for us, the launch of the Church’s mission to the world — and the enacting of an eternal promise.
