Bizarre Bible: Unfiltered Stories has everything from ghost stories and witches to possessed pigs and a wheel covered in eyeballs. And it all comes from the Bible. But what do these stories mean, and why are they in there?
This series explores stories from the Old and New Testament that are rarely discussed and sometimes considered “strange” — each one designed as an interactive detective-style experience. Take notes, weigh the evidence, and form your own conclusions. If you think the Bible is boring, get a load of this series.
Basic printer-friendly versions of the discussion material are also available in PDF format.
