This website was founded by Dean Brown, a Christadelphian, in July 2025.
It is currently under construction, with an initial goal of becoming at least somewhat operational within a few months.
As an interim description, I currently aim to have four somewhat-related tools available on the website for others to use.
Bible Verse Recognition
First, a “Bible Verse Recognition” portion whereby users can view from among thousands of Bible quotes and then push themselves to answer as many questions as they can about the quote before viewing the answers to common questions. Who is speaking to who? What book, chapter, and/or verse(s) is the quote from? When in history did the event(s) take place? Where did the event take place? Is this quoted somewhere else in the Bible, is it quoting something earlier, or what other Scriptures does this remind you of?
Even “basic students” of the Bible can get some value by just thinking through basic questions about each quote, and for many, just knowing or figuring out whether the quote is from the Old or New Testament is a step in the right direction. Better students of the Bible will know that a given quote is from somewhere in the Pentateuch or the Psalms or from one of Paul’s epistles. The point is that everyone can benefit and improve their knowledge over time.
Daily Bible Chapter Learning & Study System
Second, a “Daily Bible Chapter Learning & Study System”. This will be explained later as I begin to roll it out, but in essence it is a chapter-based system whereby each user selects a pre-existing or custom created “title” and “summary” for each chapter of the Bible along with other pertinent facts about each chapter, and then regularly review these on a daily basis. Over time, with repeated interaction with each chapter’s “title”, “summary” and “other pertinent facts”, each user should develop a much better understanding of the whole Bible.
A PowerPoint file for Every Chapter in the Bible with maps, charts, summaries, and other tools
Third, I plan to have a PowerPoint file for each chapter of the Bible with a variety of slides that can be used for quick reference, personal study, or adapted for teaching purposes. I’m using prototypes myself on a daily basis and hope to get these up to the website as soon as possible.
Bible Reading Plans including one that presents the Bible in the order in which it was written
Fourth, I realize that there are lots of different Bible reading plans out there, and I hope to soon have some on this website. I suppose any reading plan is just another way to read all or parts of the Bible in some different order, and since there are thousands of plans out there already, what’s the point of me making some new ones? What I am excited about is the prototypes I’ve already built that can be used as normal reading plans or paired with my chapter-based system of summaries described above.
The first and somewhat-unique plan is actually a set of related plans that introduce new readers of the Bible to an increasingly-detailed version of the full Bible. In principle, it is similar to the four main plans published by Tyndale House Publishers in their Wayfinding Bible. In that Bible, they publish four plans that they respectively call “Flyover”, “Direct”, “Scenic”, and “Thru-Hike.”
Tyndale’s “Flyover” Plan is a set of 46 readings each about one or two chapters (plus some introductory articles) that collectively introduce a new reader to what Tyndale thinks are the most basic of basic chapters in the Bible. I would pick a slightly different set of roughly 50 chapters for my most basic plan, but in principle I love what Tyndale did here and I want to independently build something similar.
Tyndale’s “Direct” and “Scenic” plans expand the number of readings and thereby introduce new readers to even more of the Scriptures, using roughly 207 and then 378 readings respectively if I counted correctly.
Tyndale’s “Thru-Hike” plan reads through the entire Bible in a chronological format. This isn’t the place to talk in detail about how these chronological plans are built by Tyndale and others, but essentially they present the Bible in the order in which the events occur. Anyone making such a plan is faced with dozens (or hundreds!) of choices about when some events occurred in relation to one another, and so these plans differ in detail.
My version of such a chronological plan will allow the user to see these kinds of decisions and guide them into making their own plan based on how they see these issues, though I will have some suggestions for those who are generally inclined to see these chronological relationships the way I do. But I won’t be insistent that I’m right.
But what I’m most excited about is a different kind of chronological plan that I’ve never seen anyone else make, and that to me makes a lot of sense.
I won’t explain it here in detail, but in essence, it will present the Bible in the order in which it was written, which is different than presenting it in the order in which events occurred. Think about it…
The 66 books of the Bible weren’t all written at once. They were written at different times, and so the Bible grew over time. Why not read it in the order in which it was written?
As with a regular chronological plan, there will be dozens of decisions to be made, with some books being more complex than others. For example, how to deal with the Book of Psalms, which is actually 150 separate psalms that were each written at different times, initially collected into different groups, and then finally arranged in their current order probably around the time of Ezra (circa 430 BC). But with allowance for these decisions, I think it would be wonderful to read the Bible in the order in which it was written — or at least as close to that order as we can figure out today.
If somebody else has ever built a plan like this I’ve never seen it even though I’ve searched. There is a “Historical Reading Plan” published at the BlueLetterBible website that might appear similar, but that plan cannot possibly be in the order in which the Bible was written in some major ways.
So stay tuned for some Bible reading plans including a truly unique one that as far as I can tell no one has ever published and that has a lot of value.
