An ever-growing database of cross-referenced biblical people, places and events.
Who they were, when and where they lived, the journeys they travelled, the books they appear in, and what we actually know about them — every person cross-referenced by time, place and family, and graded from scripture to archaeology to scholarship.
What makes this different: we show our evidence
Most Bible sites blend scripture, tradition and guesswork into one voice. We don't. Every claim on a person's page is colour-graded by how we know it — and we cross-link people, places and passages so you can follow the threads.
ScriptureStated in the Bible, with the verse.
ArchaeologyPhysical evidence — inscriptions, steles, seals, sites.
Ancient writersNon-biblical testimony — Josephus, Tacitus, the Talmud.
ScholarlySupported scholarly belief, flagged as interpretation.
Evidence-graded claims so far cover 1981 of the most-studied figures, and growing.
