The Collective Author produces the iconographic and theological ideas reflected in every illustration. This production of ideas is the result of the interpretation of the Biblical text based on modern and traditional theology (Fathers of the Church and Protestant masters). Neira decides which characters and scenery must be reflected in the illustration. He suggests shapes, colors and Biblical costumes. He reconstructs the historical background of very painted scene; and finally puts together different illustrations, which are organized in sequences based on the narrative order of the Biblical text. Finally, he offers in a pop-up window a detailed interpretation of both every Biblical fragment and its equivalent illustration.

As a Collective Author he gathers the contributions made by the different collaborators who contribute from their digital, communicative, artistic and technological skills. In other words he coordinates painters, music composers, digital and Internet experts. The Digital Bible Foundation has been created for the preservation of this artistic Work (We have more than 40.000 illustrations).

The Digital Bible Foundation strives to reinforce the access to the Bible in this new digital world. This new digital culture allows a much bigger presence of the Bible all over the World. Finally this new digital understanding enriches the contact with the Bible thanks to the much more interaction of digital creations.

The key element of the entire project is the language used, which is characteristic of digital culture: images, music, audiovisuals, and digital creation techniques. These languages are used to communicate the Bible in digital format (through eBooks, Bible stories, audiovisual lectures, and interactive teaching units), connecting with the digital age audience (digital natives and digital natives) through the language of this culture of sensory hyperstimulation that multiplies visual and auditory stimuli. Faced with a society that is incapable of living without sound stimulation, eBible presents this sensory language that addresses the Bible directly and invites the listener of the Word to find spaces for reflection that lead them to meditate on the Word.
