And if you are not (yet) a follower of Jesus, may this bring you closer to Him.

NEW CONTENT

BIBLE 101
The main units take a look at the Bible – what it is, what it says, and how to use it. The section also contains lists and tables relative to the study units, our course "INTERPRETING THE BIBLE - A Practical Guide for Followers of Jesus", and various other printable resources.

BIBLE READING
Perhaps you've wanted for a long time to read through the Bible, or perhaps you've never thought about it, but why not start? In this section you will find a personalised reading plan, with background notes on the various Bible Books. So why not accept the challenge and start today?
 
RAMBLINGS OF A STRANGER
Short textual doodles on life, love, and everything else. Each rambling is only two or three paragraphs, or less, intended to be a starting point for your own exploration of faith in daily living.
 
STORIES
Short stories about about life, love, and a lot in-between. The characters are fictional, the situations sometimes very familiar. Archangels, little boys, fugitives and rascals. Christmas stories, school days and a young man saying goodbye. Ordinary people, coming face to face with eternity. May their stories inspire you!
 
THE VOICES OF CHRISTMAS
What if the Christmas characters could tell us their experience of that night in their own words? What would they remember? What would they tell us?
 
THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD
The Biblical record of the birth of Jesus, arranged as one continuous narrative.
 

NEW CONTENT


A lot has happened during the last few weeks, mostly behind the scenes in the Bible101 section, but here it is now:


OUR SHOP IS NOW OPEN!

We are releasing e-books for sale, mostly containing content from the Bible101 section, for those who want a personal copy, or wish to use it in other settings.
It's also a good way to support our ministry and get something in return!
Currently available are two Bible reading guides (The Pentateuch and the Old Testament Historical Books) as well as an e-book of the "Voices of Christmas" section.
HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE - A Practical Guide for Followers of Jesus

A practical guide for non-academics, to learn how to interpret the Bible.
Detailed explanations of 10 different methods, with case studies, practical exercises, and self-tests for each chapter, as well as a final self-test covering the whole course.
Click HERE to go to the shop.


The Resources page in the Bible101 section has been updated to link to all the new content, and now includes a link to the Lists & Tables section. (Lists & Table are still available here — links in the Bible101 Study Units will also take you to this page.)

The most important is the addition of a substantial list of printable content (all links are on the resources page):

¤ Timelines, prophecies, etc., relating to Jesus Christ.

¤ Various essays about the Bible.

¤ Outlines of all Bible books, intended as companion guides for Bible reading.

¤ Biographies of Bible characters and authors.

¤ Write-ups on Bible translations.

¤ Biblical Greek cheat sheets.

¤ Various other items.

Note that extra content is no longer on different pages, but is included as a hidden pop-up text box, looking like this:  
X TEXT BOX

This is what a pop-up text box with extra content looks like.
 
Close it with the "X" in the top right corner of the box.
 
Beware: If you just click the "Back" button of your browser, you might end up on the page before the one you were reading, or another place in the current page - what happens depends on the quirks of various browsers. I'll try to fix it someday, but for now remember to use the "X"!
 Click on it to open the extra content in a pop-up box.

Please come back often, and journey along.
