A £2-million online project has been launched this week in the hope of presenting the Bible afresh to a visual generation. The Visual Commentary on the Bible, which went live on Tuesday, matches three works of art with passages of scripture. At present, there are 50 completed triptychs — the organisers call them exhibitions — and another 50 await copyright permissions.

thevcs.org — has been built by Cogapp and is free to use. [
