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.

Joshua, Judges, and Ruth Class

I am teaching a new in-depth class on the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth on Monday nights from September 10 to December 17, 2018. These books tell of how Yahweh faithfully brought Israel into the Promised Land just as He promised, but they began to fall into apostasy as a result of failed national leadership. Register now!
