CBNNews.com  - Need to look up some Bible scripture in a hurry? But you can't get to your Bible or to your computer? Just look up the passage on your iPhone.

Apple and other companies are offering several Bible software applications for iPhone users. Many of these programs allow you to take the Bible with you whereever you go. Some of the programs are free. Others have a download charge.

The amount of Bible programs that are available has truly amazed online bloggers. A blogger on the Web site Gizmodo.com wrote "we underestimated was the sheer amount of Bible software that would be available at launch."

While several Christian software firms have packaged the Bible in electronic form, other software firms have yet to produce iPhone applications for other faiths.
