Bible prophecy checked against the historical record

Authorship

  • Bible Trivia: The Dead Sea Scrolls

    Twelve questions on the manuscripts that pushed the Hebrew Bible’s textual evidence back a thousand years — what they contain, what they settled, and what they did not.

  • Bible Trivia: How a Text Is Dated

    Twelve questions on the methods behind every date you have read for a biblical book — manuscripts, internal limits, and the circular argument almost everybody makes.

  • Bible Trivia: The General Letters

    Twelve questions on Hebrews, James, Peter, John and Jude: which are anonymous, which reuses which, and which entered the canon latest and most reluctantly.

  • Bible Trivia: Manuscripts and Translations

    Twelve questions on how the Bible reached us: the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the great codices, P46, and the passage whose insertion can be traced document by document.

  • Bible Trivia: The Letters of Paul

    Twelve questions on the Pauline letters, at three levels: the earliest surviving Christian document, the missing address in Ephesians, and the inscription that dates the whole chronology.

  • Isaiah: when it was written, when it happened

    One book, two hundred years of history, and an authorship dispute this chart is built to display rather than to settle — including the Qumran scroll that is constantly cited for something it cannot show.

  • Who wrote Daniel, and when

    Two dates four centuries apart, and almost everything anyone believes about biblical prophecy depends on which is right. Both cases at their strongest, and the two external facts that cut in opposite directions.

  • Bible Trivia: Which Prophet Wrote What

    Twelve questions on the prophets — which of them left a book and which did not, what each was told to do, and which vision belongs to whom.
