The Bible doesn't start and end on the page. Every chapter tells the tale of a real world of kings, prophets, empires, and battles. The Story Behind Scripture digs into the history behind God's Word — the moments that shaped Israel, the events that fulfilled prophecy, and the stories of the Jewish people that connect the Old and New Testaments. From the Ark of the Covenant to the Maccabean Revolt, each episode brings you closer to the real history that most people never learn in church. New episodes weekly
