Glo brings the Bible to life with HD video and documentaries, high-resolution images, zoom-able maps, 360-degree virtual tours and more.

In addition to the NIV Bible text and its study notes, the content in Glo includes more than 500 virtual tours with 360-degree views, 7,500 encyclopedia articles, 2,300 high-resolution photos, 700 pieces of artwork, 3.5 hours of HD video, nearly 150 maps and much more.

With a few clicks, it's possible to create a custom Bible reading plan, explore the biblical world, and become immersed in breathtaking 360-degree tours to experience biblical stories coming to life.
