You want to read the Bible the way its original audience did — not filtered through layers of translation. "Read the Bible Like David," as Biblingo's tagline puts it: a complete biblical language curriculum in your pocket, making Greek, Hebrew, and Latin feel less like homework and more like an adventure.^1
Rooted in modern linguistics and second language acquisition research, Biblingo teaches vocabulary through images and short videos rather than English translations, grammar through immersive context, and reading through graded exercises set in the biblical world before graduating to actual Scripture. The curriculum covers four semesters of university-level content across interactive lessons, grammar videos, paradigm drills, a built-in textbook, and a Greek/Hebrew Bible arranged from easiest to hardest.^2
Co-founded by Kevin Grasso (PhD, Hebrew University) and Nick Messmer (MA, Wheaton College), Biblingo was born from Grasso's 2017 Bible translation experience in Mexico, where he watched a team translate the Old Testament from Spanish into Nahuatl — a translation of a translation — because no one knew Hebrew.^3 The team includes Chris Date (Head of Engineering), Joseph Justiss (Head of Live Courses, Oxford doctorate), Austin Curtin (Head of Homeschool), Colton Honeycutt (Head of Community), Isaac Hinchman (Curriculum Development), and Joah Pearson (Head of Marketing).
Biblingo 2.0 introduced a revamped learning system with multi-tiered grammar introduction and Scripture Fragments — collectible text pieces discovered as students journey through the biblical story.^4 The Accelerator plan offers live weekly courses, guided reading through real biblical texts, quarterly scholar Q&As, and an active learning community.^6 A Lifetime plan grants one-time access to every feature across Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, plus all future languages on the roadmap (Aramaic, Syriac, Akkadian).^6 A Classical Conversations partnership provides dedicated homeschool curriculum and family pricing for students as young as three.^7 Biblingo is now an approved ESA (education savings account) vendor in 13 states.^8 College credit is available through partner institutions, and a dedicated Teachers page supports classroom adoption.^9
