So what are my concerns? The main thing is that I don’t think The Bible Project does justice to the biblical doctrine of the atonement. The main video in which The Bible Project explains the atonement is “Sacrifice and Atonement”. In this video Tim Mackie (chief narrator and theological mind behind the project) explains that Jesus’ death had two fu...
I wanted to see if perhaps The Bible Project taught propitiation in other videos but this isn’t the case. In the video “Romans 1-4”, the narrator explains that Jesus came … … as Israel’s Messiah to die on behalf of all people as a sacrifice for sins. As our representative, Jesus took into himself all of the just consequences of the pain, the sin an...
Now, I suspect there are a couple of false dichotomies here. First, there’s a dichotomy between judgment and consequence: our problem is with sin and its consequences, not with God himself.

He is wrathful towards us in our sin but also demonstrates his love for us by sending Christ to die for us, save us and reconcile us to him (Rom 5:6-11). We don’t have to choose between a God who is angry...
Now, does this matter? How important is it to teach the wrath of God and propitiation? Is this a minor issue that we could overlook given the benefits of other aspects of The Bible Project? I think this does matter, for several reasons. First, the atonement and God’s response to sin are fundamental doctrines in the Bible. This is why theologians wo...
So how should we respond to the concerns I’ve raised? Many responses are possible but I’ll just mention three. Firstly, we should be careful and discerning as we watch these videos. We should make sure we read the Bible ourselves and check to see if what the video says fits with the Bible. We should also think carefully about what the videos teach ...

Unlike podcasts like “ the Bible for Normal People” where each episode is essentially a stand alone, the Bible project is a ladder style series. You can still learn a lot hoping in but they cover specific paradigms as you follow through it allowing you to better understand the next episode.
