An Australian group has translated the entire Bible into SMS format, enabling verses to be sent direct to mobile phones. In the latest twist on the scripture, the Bible Society in Australia is offering all 31,171 verses in the abbreviated text style. True believers can now encourage each other with lines such as "4 God so luvd da world" and "In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth". The service claims to be "100% faithful" to the original. But receiving the entire Bible by SMS would take more than 30,000 messages and cost almost A$8,000 (£3,432). Source: Guardian News & Media 2008. Published: 10/7/2005
