The Aetherlight Bible helps to reinforce the connection between the game and the Scriptures. Created by Scarlet City and Tyndale House Publishers, this one-of-a-kind resource invites readers to dig deeper into the biblical story. Tweens learn to connect the dots between the game’s characters and prominent figures and storylines of the Bible.
“For some of our players, it may be their first encounter with Scripture,” Cleary says. “For others, it could be just what they need to help them want to truly engage with the text.”
Blaine A. Smith, associate publisher at Tyndale House, says this new Bible will help parents engage with their children in an environment they understand. “Tyndale House grew out of the efforts of Dr. Kenneth Taylor as he worked to make God’s Word accessible to his children. For over 50 years, Tyndale has been focused on providing innovative ways for people to connect to God’s Word. This new partnership with Scarlet City Studios enables us to engage children in a game environment with the truth of Scripture.”
Given the crisis in Bible literacy, the game The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance and the companion resource The Aetherlight Bible could not have come at a more important time.
“There is a battle for the hearts and minds of young people,” says Roy Peterson, president and CEO of the American Bible Society. “That’s why I’m excited about The Aetherlight. Through this gaming experience, we have a mechanism to get young people to engage with Scripture.”
“Ultimately, we have a set story to tell,” Cleary says. “And it’s a retelling of the most important story you’re ever going to hear!”
