Bibledex is back with a new series.
We've already done a video about every book in the Bible (plus the extra 'Apocrypha' books).
Now we're going to make more focused videos, concentrating on individual verses.
We'll be discussing the history, theology and mystery behind some of the most famous verses, plus looking at some obscure ones.
But to start the series, we've discussed where the verses come from.
As you'll see, they were devised many years after the original texts were written!

Bibledex nears completion
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write: I've devoted most of this week to the Bible!
That's because I'm trying to finish a major video project I've been working on called Bibledex, making videos about every book of the Bible (well, the 66 most Bibles contain).
They aren't religious films, they're just supposed to be an academic yet curious look at what be the world's most famous collection of texts.
I still have four videos to go, but this week I finished all four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).
Here's the last one I edited (which ironically was probably the first one written - Mark).
The thing I found most interesting in this video is that the supposed last words of Jesus ("My God, My God, why have you forsaken me") may have a totally different meaning to what most people think... I love finding out stuff like that!
As someone who does so much work on science films, some people thought it strange I'd tackle a project about the Bible.
But I hope anyone who watches will realise this is not about God or religion... It is about curiosity and sharing knowledge.
I also like to think I ask some challenging questions of the theologians.
Check out the videos at www.bibledex.com or youtube.com/bibledex
Many of them include some great footage we filmed in Israel.
By the way, all this work does not mean I've neglected my science duties... This week's science videos have included videos on Benzene, Terbium and Electrical Conductivity. Check them out too!
