The day started off with a story in the Northern Echo and has ended with articles on the Guardian, Telegraph and Daily Mail websites, radio interviews for Premier and the BBC, and coverage from as far afield as AOL News in the US, the National Post in Canada and Australia's news.com.au.

I hardly know what to say!

A big thank you to Mark Tallentire at the Northern Echo. And Genesis 7 tomorrow...

Mark Tallentire from the Northern Echo interviewed me about Bible Summary this morning.

There's already an article up on the Northern Echo website, which should also be in the print version and the Durham Times tomorrow!

It's quite hard to know what to say in the beginning.

If all goes to plan, I'll be summarising the Bible for the next three-and-a-half years: one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day. That's an intimidating amount of time to commit to doing something pretty much every day! But here we go...

I'll keep within Twitter's 140 character limit (including an abbreviated chapter reference at the beginning e.g. "Gen1:"), and try to convey a summary of each chapter in something like the style of the chapter itself.

Will I really be able to do justice to all 176 verses of Psalm 119 in 140 characters? Probably not. But the challenge of being so brief will force me to engage with the text and understand the key themes. And that's partly the point in the first place - I want to be an active rather than a passive reader of Scripture!

The Twitter account is @biblesummary, and I've built this website to keep track of my progress. I'm only going to post chapter summaries at the Twitter account - no commentary or replies - but I'll be reflecting on the project here.

The commenting system for this site has the option to synch with your own Twitter account, so get involved! Maybe you could read along with me and post your own summary as a comment to each chapter...?

Will I even make it to Exodus? Stay tuned and we'll find out...
