Feature Friday: The Bible Project

I want to share a resource with you that has been SO helpful in my study of the Bible. It's called The Bible Project (as you've probably figured out).

TBP views the Bible as an over-arching story (which it is), but they are trying to help you see how the books fit into that big story. They have a variety of resources to help you learn more about the Bible as you study.

I will start off by saying, I have by no means watched every video or listened to every podcast episode. However, I have not found anything so far that I've thought, "that's clearly anti-Biblical". I'm sure somewhere there is something I would slightly disagree with, and you might too, since we all come from different theological backgrounds, but we can still learn even if there are some differences. Just be discerning!

What I've utilized the most are their YouTube videos, particularly the ones that summarize the books of the Bible. I like getting the overview of the book because it helps me keep the context in mind as I am going through it (especially in the longer books where you can kind of get bogged down). They also have videos on certain themes or topics that are in the Bible. I was talking to a friend about holiness because I was trying to figure out how best to teach it to my group of girls, and she said, "oh, the Bible Project has an amazing video on that!". And they do! It was really good.

They have downloads available of the charts and things they draw and they started a podcast at some point. I haven't listened to it (podcasts are something I aspire to listen to more but don't actually follow through on), but I feel pretty confident that it's excellent based on their videos.

Have you ever heard of or used The Bible Project? Do you have a favorite video?
