12 Non-trivial Facts about the Bible
55,123
Published 2021-01-12
NOTE: Looking back, saying that the Bible is written from a "mostly Jewish perspective" is a bit reductive. If I were to redo this video, I'd say it was written from a "Mostly from ancient Israelite and first-century Jewish perspectives." Not as snappy, but more accurate.
If you understand these facts about Scripture, you'll be better prepared to read, study, and understand the Bible on your own.
If you want to know a LOT more about the Bible in a short amount of time, you should check out my book, The Beginner's Guide to the Bible: overviewbible.com/product/beginners-guide-bible/

Jeffrey, As a bar mitvahed confused Jew I've been baptized twice and am involved with a Men's Church Group. You have shown a bright light on scripture and I wish to thank you. I'll keep watching!!

I just discovered this channel and so far your channel appears to provide v exactly what I was looking for in a Bible study guide.

I miss ya, Jeffrey. Come back 💔 Dying for more content of yours!

Jeffrey, thank you for taking the time to explain the many important facts, information and nuances of the Bible. I have read your Beginners Guide To The Bible several times and will continue to read it until it’s well established in my heart and mind. I am actually an ordained minister but I have served on the administrative/business/finance side of the church most of my life. But I did study the Bible in undergraduate and graduate school including seminary. But the way you break it all down and package the information is so incredibly helpful even in these later stages of my life and ministry. I wish I had you for a professor or a bible study leader when I was first saved and learning about the Bible. So thank you again for taking the time to make this information available to the general public. I just recently looked you up to learn more about the fella who wrote TBGTTB and that’s how I discovered your videos. Now I will watch them all and soak up as much as this 65 year old mind and heart can absorb. Blessings!

Glad to see you are back Jeffrey! Ty

Amazing video, Jeffrey. This is really helpful to show atheists who treat the Bible like one book...they think we use circular reasoning when we're not. I have a suggestion for the next video: 12 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

Jeff, you don't know what you have done for me! Thank you x millions! Watching you from South Africa and feeling very blessed by your work!. Where can one get your book " the beginner's guide to the Bible"? Your response will be highly appreciated.

This would be a perfect video for Timestamps (and or chapters), putting the icing on the cake for a good reference material. Thank you for making these video's! Cheers mate.

Please do a video of Dead Sea Scrolls!

I knew most of these but it was still very helpfull and interesting to see how you presented it! I think it'll be helpfull for me to be able to tell people facts in a more accomodating way and be mindfull of what is not so obvious to people who didn't grow up Christian, but important to know.

Looking forward to your next video!
