One study for each book, with the studies of how the Bible came to us and how its writers wrote. This is the place to begin a book from end to end.

6 studies

These studies take a chapter, a song or a single teaching and read it line by line. Each stays inside one passage and follows its own movement.

The events themselves: what happened, where the retelling has drifted from the text, and what the scene was really like.

4 studies

Lives told from first mention to last, and the nations, families and parties around Israel and the church. The full roster of names stands on the people hub; these are the studies built around one life or one people.

Keep studying

Every study cites the chapters it stands on and the words it turns on. A study is a way into the text and the lexicon.

The roster is the site’s own build manifest, so no study can be missing from it. A study leads its kind when it carries a line of its own and more of the other studies link to it; a register row with no line of its own borrows the first sentence of the study’s own summary. The pictures are public domain: engravings by Gustave Doré from Doré’s English Bible(1866), and paintings held at Wikimedia Commons. Each is named in full on the study’s own page.
