Journal, Sentinel, and Herald readers continue to embrace the new design, launched this year. The goal was a fresh and contemporary look, but more than that, a desire to give a sense of sacredness, accessibility, and elegance.
We think the recent release of Concord 2.0 aligns with those same goals. It’s contemporary and accessible, and enhances one’s spiritual study. You can search for words or phrases, make lists of citations on a study topic, mark the text with a function that works like a highlighter pen—and add private notes (encrypted—visible only to you) in the margin, just as you would with a pen or pencil. Available offline (in a desktop product) or online, you can access it on your smartphone or iPad. It’s fast and easy to use.
The main purpose of Concord is simple: It’s to help readers delve into the books—the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings. It’s not a tool exclusively for Readers at branch churches or Christian Science practitioners and teachers. Its reach is wide—a research and study tool for everyone. These books are filled with healing ideas about God and man, ideas that are beautifully interlaced and mutually supportive.
