MANY HELPFUL VIDEOS ABOUT THE BIBLE

I was pleasantly surprised to find a video, the other day, that summarized both the secular and Scriptural background of Philippi, the whereabouts of the apostle who wrote the epistle to the Philippians and the situation in which they then found themselves, along with a short description of the teaching within it -- all with visuals!  I was browsing YouTube in search of another item about Philippians and ran into this Bible Project video.  I'll put a link to it here:  Philippians so that you will be able to see why I was so surprised!
This site definitely has some interesting projects going!   How all of this started is quoted, below:

Timothy Mackie and Jonathan Collins (long-time friends and one-time roommates at Multnomah Bible College) were tossing around ideas on how to help people read through Scripture while avoiding these common pitfalls and misunderstandings. How could complex themes of the Bible be presented in a way that was real and unapologetic, but approachable?
Combining Tim’s deep biblical understanding and Jon’s passion for visual story-telling, they created their first two videos in 2014 and put them online for free.

Every book of the Bible has been the topic of a video on this site.  However, there is more on this site, as well:  many biblical themes have videos, and one video that impressed me was the one on "Bad Words."  It turns out that this video explicates the various words for "sin" in terms of their meanings in the original languages.  Fascinating and instructive, too1

It might be worth your while to take a look at this site!

Here is a link to some of their very interesting Bible videos:
