  1. Was it the Apostle John, the "beloved disciple," or a dedicated community of his followers? While tradition credits John the son of Zebedee, modern scholars often point to a "Johannine Community" that compiled these deep theological reflections. Regardless of the scribe, its unique style and profound focus on the divinity of Jesus make it a cornerstone of faith. 🖋️🕊️

  2. 3/10 Then there’s The Elohist (E), from the North around 850 BCE. E calls God "Elohim" and depicts Him as more distant—speaking through dreams and angels rather than face-to-face. E focuses on moral fear and proper behavior. After the North fell, J and E were likely blended, creating the layered stories we see today. It’s a fascinating mix of two different regional perspectives on the divine. ☁️🌩️ #Theology #BibleHistory

  4. Ancient records describe a thunderbolt striking Ephesus. Greek myth turned it into Artemis’ birth. Centuries later, Christianity rose in the same city, echoing imagery of fire and falling stars.

  5. A look at how the Book of Esther grew everything from extra prayers to love triangles to cloven-hoofed devils once Hollywood got involved. Fidelity vs. embellishment says a lot about the storytellers—and the eras reshaping the tale.

  7. as a #sacreligious armchair #biblehistory guy i can say with confidence and not much backing: i think jesus was probably a feet guy. i think feet would have been more taboo at that historical period and thus considered sexier in a fetish sense

  9. KOINE TYPEFACE: Last week I paid for my first typeface. One that changes biblical Greek text to look like handwritten Koine Greek of the period. The guy who sold it to me also gave me some pointers on how to make it more historically accurate but removing the spaces and getting all the lines fully justified by squishing the words in.

  10. MAPS 2: When maps are confusing it's time to call in the big guns! One helped me realise a Roman Province and a region are not the same. Some of the areas named in the Bible are just regions within a Province, a distraction most Bible cartographers have not realised.

  11. MAPS: Today I got caught up correcting and refining the map for Acts that I'd made. I noticed different sources put the Roman province borders in different places and some of the cities were a bit out of place. Lots and lots of overlapped maps. Because maps are 2D and the globe is round you have to weirdly distort the maps to get them together sometimes.

  12. WHERE DID GOD PART THE SEA FOR MOSES?: Today I was researching this and went straight to ABR, this video gives a lot of interesting info on the topic. What the Bible actually says, travel times, historical geography that's different today and more.

  13. Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross and Simon N* in the Antioch church are the same person?: Have you ever heard of this connection? On closer inspection, this theory actually has a lot going for it. Check out this blog for more info.

    *- I can't quote the Bible directly here or Insta will freak out.

  14. MAPS: This week I've been working on a map for the Book of Acts, in this version you can see the various Roman provinces in colour and the grey area is outside the Empire. The maps for the books are created by overlaying several maps, some with regions, others with cities, and others with just the topography visible.

  15. JOPPA: OT and NT: I was creating the page for Acts 9:36 and the scene was in Joppa. As I looked at the reference I released I'd already drawn Joppa in the Book of Jonah. It's always fun to draw the same place but with centuries of separation. The first is from Jonah then my new Acts one and then a photo of Tel Aviv (the same place) today using Google Street view to get the right perspective.

  16. INTERESTING DISCOVERY: "An archaeological expedition [...] recently discovered tombs outside the Bronze Age trading metropolis [...] the period 1500–1300 BCE."

    It's interesting as the Creteans of that time are basically the Philistines of the Bible, so it'll be great to get more evidence of their culture:
