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.
