EVIDENCE-FIRST BIBLE RESEARCH

Ask a Bible Question

Start with the text. Then compare translations, original-language words, surrounding context, historical reference works and major interpretive views. The research tools do not hide disagreement behind a one-line answer.

Is being gay mentioned in the Bible?What does the Bible mean by hell?What does “born again” mean in Greek?Why do Bible translations differ?What does the Bible say about divorce?What does “repent” mean in Greek?

How this is different from a quick answer

1

Read the passage

Words are interpreted inside sentences, paragraphs, books and historical settings.

2

Compare translations

Differences often reveal where translators had to make a judgment.

3

Inspect Hebrew or Greek

Lemma, morphology and semantic range matter more than an English slogan about the “literal meaning.”

4

Separate evidence from interpretation

Responsible study says when Christians and scholars reach different conclusions from the same evidence.
