Bible Study Tools

Interactive tools built for the way I actually study, then cleaned up so anyone else can use them. Most are timelines: the Old Testament from Creation to Malachi, the life of Jesus harmonized across the four Gospels, Luke traced by its own architecture, Paul’s life with all thirteen letters set at the point they were written, and the Twelve Apostles with every post-biblical tradition tiered by how much weight it can carry. The Psalter Command Center is the outlier, a control panel for all 150 psalms with commentary, video exposition, and Hebrew interlinear behind each card. Each one is a full page you can filter, search, and click through rather than a blog post, so you can sit with it.

How We Got the New Testament — Canon Timeline

The New Testament canon was not decreed in a smoke-filled room, and it was not a free-for-all either. The paper trail runs 223 years, from Marcion forcing the question in 144 to Athanasius naming all 27 books in 367, with the councils ratifying what the churches already read.

The Ante-Nicene Age — Timeline (AD 100–325)

From the death of the last apostle to the first ecumenical council: the heresies, the orthodox response, the persecutions, and the empire, AD 100 to 325. Every claim tiered, every dispute named, from Marcion's break with Rome to the bishops at Nicaea who still carried the scars of Diocletian.

The Apostle Paul — Timeline and Letters

From persecutor to apostle to martyr, with every journey and every letter placed where it was written. Eight eras, Acts and the epistles interleaved, the chronology anchored to the Gallio inscription of AD 51-52, and the post-biblical traditions marked as strong, contested, or unresolved rather than smoothed into the story.

The Gospel of Luke — Timeline

The third Gospel traced by its own architecture — it opens in the Temple and closes in the Temple, with ten chapters of road to Jerusalem at its heart. Every era mapped, every Lukan exclusive marked, from the Magnificat to Emmaus: the Gospel of the great reversal, chapter and verse throughout.

The Life of Jesus — Timeline

From Gabriel in the Temple to the throne at the Father's right hand — the whole life of Jesus laid out era by era, harmonized across the four Gospels with Luke as the chronological anchor, chapter and verse at every step.

The Twelve Apostles — Timeline and Traditions
