The Bible, Sumarized

A devout Christian has pledged to spread the word of the Lord - by telling every chapter of the Bible on Twitter.Chris Juby, 30, plans to condense one chapter a day into less than 140 characters - the maximum allowed for a single entry on the website. 

Mr Juby, director of worship at King's Church, Durham City, began with the first chapter of Genesis on Sunday and intends to work his way through all 1,189 chapters. 
His task of truly Biblical proportions will take more than three years to complete, with the last entry due on November 8, 2013. He is working on the twitter account biblesummary
His first entry on Twitter read: "God created the heavens, the earth and everything that lives. He made humankind in his image, and gave them charge over the earth."
Mr Juby said: "It is my normal habit to read a chapter of the Bible each morning and I always read through from Genesis to Revelation.
"As I was coming to the end last time, I thought I needed a way of focussing my mind a little bit more on what I was reading. I thought a summary would be a good way of doing this. I already use Twitter, so I thought I'd share my summaries."
Mr Juby's Twitter Bible follows the publication of versions such as the 100 minute Bible, the SMS text message Bible and the Geordie Bible.
