What is .Bible?

On June 20, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) voted to expand generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) to include .anything. Prior to this, the online world was defined by 22 different Top-Level Domains (TLDs), including .com and .net, and approximately 250 country code TLDs (ccTLDs), such as .jp for Japan.

American Bible Society, along with a coalition of other interconfessional Bible-centric organizations and agencies are applying to win the .Bible top-level domain. We are pursuing this in order to:

  • Create new digital real estate in the online Bible space (The.Bible, Engage.Bible, Donate.Bible, Listen.Bible, Greek.Bible, etc.)
  • Empower the world to greater Bible engagement
  • Protect the Bible brand from inappropriate use

An infographic visualizing how the ICANN decision positively affects the future of web branding can be seen below:
