About us
Virtually everyone has heard of the Bible and been introduced to it in some way. Many have a hard time believing some of what it says, but would agree that there is some truth to it. How do you determine what is true and what isn’t?
We hope to guide you through a process of exploring the Bible in a less intimidating way, so you can decide for yourself what you believe or don’t believe. Context is important, and it is easy to take the Bible out of context. There are 66 books in the Bible, and an aggressive reading plan could help you read it in a year — but that won’t give you time to digest what you have read. You don’t have to start at the beginning and read to the end; after all, the books aren’t even in order.
We have believers and non-believers here. Please be respectful of each other. You won’t all agree, and you don’t have to agree. Whichever side you fall on, who are we to judge? Give us a heads up if you see any kind of ugliness so we can take a look.
History, geography, chronology, authorship, literary structure. Sourced, and left open. Where the evidence is thin, the dating contested or a manuscript uncertain, the piece says so in the body rather than burying it in a footnote.
Michael’s argument, in the first person and openly marked: that the Bible is man-written and God-inspired, and why he finds the evidence substantiating. The serious counter-readings appear in the piece, characterised fairly.
The separation is the point. A context piece that quietly tilts toward a conclusion costs more credibility than a conviction piece ever gains.
