A virtual tsunami
of biblical art has been
rolling out of BibleProject
since it began in
2014
.
That was the year
Dr. Tim Mackie & Jon Collins
teamed up to start making
short animated videos
of bible books
.
Combining Tim’s deep
biblical understanding and
Jon’s passion for visual storytelling,
they have now completed the entire
Read Scripture series of videos
,
one for each book
in the Bible and two
overview videos
(OT & NT)
.

All of the videos in
the Read Scripture series
have a similar format:
We watch an artist
draw a poster as
the narrator
summarizes
the book
.
By the time
the story ends,
the poster is finished
.
Here they are with
a fancy slider frame
:

These
videos are
a wonderful
introduction
to The Bible
and they are
given freely
to the world.
Every word
of the narration
is thoughtfully chosen,
with a beautifully executed
visual aid
unfolding
in tandem
with the
reading
.
The Bible Project
rebranded as BibleProject,
is creating an extremely valuable
library of accessible video content
(plus reading plans & study notes)
desperately needed in the world,
delivered to anyone who wishes
to have them, and growing in
new directions with the help
of many volunteers and
financial contributions
.
The result is
a complete collection of
introductory, explanatory
summaries of scripture
and its biblical
themes
.

I
believe in
this project so much
I wished that I could have
worked with them on it!
(but a wish is all it was)

We started supporting them
with a small monthly donation,
and as an appreciation gift
they let donors choose
a poster print
.
I chose
“The Gospel
According to John”
.

I know
the image above
is too small to see, but
I wanted to give you
an idea of what the
posters look like
.
Here’s a portion
of a different poster
that is easier to read
.
This poster is from their
Introduction to the
New Testament
video
:

Truly,
you should hear
the narration and watch
the graphic image develop
as the story unfolds to
really appreciate it
.
I’ll try to link one
that matches the
poster above
:
(hope it works,
fingers crossed)

Regardless,
here’s a link to the
YouTube Channel
:
Try it yourself,
and SUBSCRIBE

Now that the
Read Scripture series
is complete, BibleProject
is moving on to other
biblical themes and
animation styles
.
Here’s
a still from
the “Holiness” video
:

Here’s
one more.
This is from
“The New Humanity”
