About BibleProject
BibleProject is a nonprofit that makes free teaching resources about the Bible: short animated videos summarising each book and major themes, long-form podcasts, guides, reading plans and full classes taught by Bible scholars. Everything is on its website and in a mobile app that gathers the whole library in one place, tracks your progress and adds reflection questions and annotated resources. The approach focuses on the Bible as one connected story and on literary design, which many small groups, students and new readers find easier to start with than traditional commentaries. Nothing is paywalled; the work is funded by donations. The trade-off is that it's a teaching library rather than a full study tool: there are no commentary sets, original-language tools or note-taking. The website offers translated videos in many languages, but the app itself is English-only and runs on iOS and Android.
Best for: New readers, students and small groups who learn better from video and podcasts than from commentaries.
