The way we communicate and understand information is constantly changing. With the increase in technology over the past few decades, we have seen this change drastically within a short timespan. The Bible Project team understands the shift to online, multi-media communication and recognizes its affects on people’s interactions with the Bible. Many people, especially younger generations, find it difficult to understand scripture or to find it relevant and relatable. Although this is sad, it is often a reality of our modern culture.
The Bible Project is a non-profit group that aims to present the entire Bible as “a unified story that leads to Jesus” in ways that encourage engagement and understanding. They do this by creating videos, podcasts, courses, and other Bible resources that communicate scripture in creative ways, while staying true to the holy Word of God. They do a great job of accurately summarizing books of the Bible and explaining complicated passages. They also have talented artists/designers on their team who create amazing animations that make stories to come to life. I have personally used The Bible Project resources and have seen them used in church services, youth group lessons, and even in my college courses! They are certainly not a substitute for the Bible, but they act as a great tool along side of scripture to foster deeper understanding.
This organization does a great job contextualizing the Bible for Christians (and even non-believers!) in today’s culture. If you have never been introduced to any of The Bible Project’s resources before, be sure to check them out… they are all free!
