Knowing the Bible is dedicated to expanding your understanding of the Bible by explaining concepts in their biblical, literary, and cultural contexts. The core of this website is twofold. In the Bible Studies section of the website you will find commentaries I have written on different books of the Bible and audio recordings of the Bible studies I lead. In the Bible Timeline section you will find an overview of the entire Bible with maps and diagrams. The goal of this section is to help readers see the major themes of the Bible and how they are developed to tell the story of Yahweh’s plan of redemption.

Exodus

I am teaching a new class on Exodus and Leviticus on Monday nights from September 4 to December 18, 2017. Exodus and Leviticus takes a look at the history and culture of the events and people of Israel from the exodus out of Egypt to the giving of the Law and the establishment of the nation of Israel. This is worth 4 Bible CEUs.

Genesis

This is an in-depth study on Genesis, which was written in order to reveal the character of Yahweh to the family of Abraham whom He had chosen to restore back to the image of God so that He could bless them in a covenant relationship with Himself and that they would be blessing to the world.
