Lumin Translation 2.0
A confirmation review compared every verse with its Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek. Twelve verses were corrected, including Zechariah 8:23, which had lost its opening line. All twelve are listed with each verse as it now reads.

How these tools are written, checked, and corrected.
These free tools are made by Lumin, and they point to Lumin. That makes accuracy matter more, not less. These are the rules we follow, the places we have fallen short, and how to hold us to them.

Seven rules
The standards.
Primary sources first.
Church statements link to the church’s own document. Research links to the researcher. When we rely on a news report instead, we name the outlet.
No invented numbers.
We do not publish ratings, review counts, testimonials, or scores we have not measured or cannot source. Empty is better than made up.
Other apps, described fairly.
When we mention another app, we use its own public claims and link to where we read them. Our comparison pages say plainly when another app is the better fit.
Our interest is labeled.
We make Lumin, and these tools exist partly to introduce it. We say so on every page rather than dressing Lumin up as an independent recommendation.
Scripture you can check.
Scripture on this site is quoted from the Lumin Translation: Lumin’s own translation, drafted with AI from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, checked verse by verse against them, and approved by Lumin. The reader and verse checker use the same text, and every reference is named so you can open it.
AI helps draft; a person answers for it.
We use AI tools to help research and draft, the same way we suggest churches might. A person checks every source and fact, and approves every page. Mistakes are ours, not the tool’s.
Dated and correctable.
Every page shows when it was last updated. Statement entries show when they were checked. Corrections are logged below with a date, and the page each entry links to carries the same dated note.
Theological review
Outside reviewers wanted.
Today these tools are written and checked by Andrew Kittridge. They have not yet been reviewed by outside pastors or theologians, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We are looking for reviewers from several traditions to read pages in their area and tell us where we are wrong. Reviewers are named on the pages they review, only with their permission.
Pastor, theologian, or ethicist? Write tosupport@lumin.faithwith your tradition and the pages you would review. Reviewing does not mean endorsing Lumin.

Can AI translate the Bible?
The guide answered “No” when asked whether Lumin publishes an AI translation of the Bible. That was wrong: the Lumin Translation was drafted with AI from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek and checked verse by verse against them. The guide now says so, and explains how a checked, published translation differs from a verse a chatbot writes on request.
Christianity and AI source lists
The Brentwood Statement was listed as a 2024 statement from several evangelical organizations. It was released in June 2026 by Lifeway with Southern Baptist leaders. The date and signers were corrected.
Kept by Lumin, a Bible AI that names the verse beside every answer. What Lumin is
Common questions
Plain answers.
Who writes these tools?
Andrew Kittridge, the founder of Lumin, maintains them and is accountable for every page. AI tools help with research and drafting; a person checks the sources and approves the words.
Are these tools just marketing for Lumin?
They are made by Lumin and they point to Lumin, and we say so. They are also meant to be useful on their own: the verse checker works on any AI’s answer, and every fact about churches, research, and other apps links to its source.
How do I report a mistake?
Email support@lumin.faith with the page and what is wrong. If we agree, we fix it and add a dated note to the corrections log.
