What is the Bible? Was it written by human beings, or by God? Can we trust it? And what difference does that make to us? In this session we look at why the Bible is so important to understand.
Three books for beginners to help beginners understand the Bible.
Interview with Andy Brown about Bible reading.

The Understand the Bible Christmas message for 2021!
I’ll be taking a break from Understand the Bible over the Christmas period, and will return in the New Year. I am planning to start a new series on the Ten Commandments, to follow on from the Apostle’s Creed which finished last month.
I feel that this year has been a good year for Understand the Bible, thank you to everyone who has helped by watching, subscribing, commenting, sending encouraging messages, and so on. I pray that 2022 will be a good year and that the Word of God may continue to spread and flourish (Acts 12:24).
Last year’s Christmas message is still available to watch, Whose fault is 2020?
All Christmas content on Understand the Bible is under the Christmas category. This includes the recent series on being ready for the return of Christ (which is also available on a YouTube playlist).
In the final part of the ‘Return of Christ’ series we look at 2 Thessalonians 1, which shows us how to endure suffering and persecution while we await Christ’s return.
Last week’s session was A life fit for the new creation (2 Peter 3).
In this video we think about two questions: why is it Jesus’ coming is taking so long, and how do we live knowing that he’s going to return?
Last week’s session was How to be Ready (Luke 12:35-48).
How can we be ready for Jesus’ return? In this video we study what Jesus taught his disciples about his return. When should we expect it? And how do we get ready for it?

Last week’s session was Life in the Messy Middle.
In this video we look into what Song of Songs has to do with Jesus and the rest of the Bible more generally.
This is a follow-up to last week’s video – what Song of Songs teaches us about love.
A short video from a Biblical perspective about how to cope with change. It’s the start of a new academic year, and there have been so many other changes lately – how do we cope? In this video we think about how we can take comfort from God in these times.
Bible verses I talk about:
Verses such as Psalm 37:4 say that God fulfils our desires. But what does that mean? Why is it that so much of the time it seems like we don’t have everything that we want?
The series on Ecclesiastes is on the YouTube playlist.
This is part of the Your questions answered feature. See that page for more videos in the series.
