Beginner Topics¶
If you are really new to the Bible, here are some helpful articles to get you started.
Jargon Buster¶
The Jargon Buster is there to help with the terminology and technicalities that come up in discussions about the Bible. You don't necessarily need to know about all of this just to read the Bible, but you probably will if you want to read any books on the subject or read the more detailed Topics pages.
All the Bibles¶
This is a brief introduction to the varied and confusing universe of biblical literature. Beyond the canon, and the second canon, we explore the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, the martyr tales, the apocalyptic visions, and more.
Or if you just like to jump in and read it, but don't find it easy to get into? If so, you might be better-off looking at the Reading Guide. You can always refer back to here if there is something you want to learn more about, or follow the explainer links.
