The Bible Project: (a non-religious perspective) farcical, fantastic, and fun!
Biblical literacy can be vital to survival in many cultures. Choose any book, subject, character, theme, genre, et cetera from the Judeo-Christian Bible (including the deuterocanonical books) and learn about it in an unparalleled fashion. Don't know where to begin? I'll help you start! Many begin with the book of Genesis. Let's chat about your interests and develop a personalized plan.
I teach from a non-religious and engaging perspective.
Here are some reviews that say it best:
John Thompson,
Corporate Executive
"Jimmy Curtis challenges students to step back and really think about items regarded as gospel. There were so many times I found myself saying, "Wait… there's no way it really says that in the Bible." But lo and behold, it's right there. This series is funny, enlightening, mordant, and (most importantly) thought-provoking. "
Bob Gibson
"This is not your grandma's bible study! Jimmy Curtis reads the biblical text with a reverence and virtue befitting his extensive education and years of professional speaking/storytelling. But it's his irreverent wit and insightful observations that bring these ancient texts alive. By transforming these religious narratives into the drama of the human experience, he places the imperfections of the characters front and center, magnifying each story's emotional content. If you are seeking an innovative and thought-provoking review of the bible, look no further."
Kimberly Tolson,
English Professor and host of YouTube's Tabletop Tolson
"Here's the thing, folks. I was raised Southern Baptist, now no longer practice, but I learned a whole heck of a lot in this Genesis series. There were stories and lessons that I never heard in my Sunday School classes and didn't even know were in the Bible. If you want to know what's really going on in the Bible, this is your chance."

About James B.
5.0
(2)
With college degrees in English Literature, Religion, and Storytelling and decades of community college instruction experience, I continue my passion for teaching online. Teaching Bible as Literature and Philosophy of Religion for over 20 years has inspired me to share what I taught to my students and what I learned from them. My goal is to change how Bible and religious studies are perceived and instruct all students, irrespective of religious beliefs. I welcome believers, agnostics, and atheists with no goals but to entertain and to educate. Religion is weird and wild, so we might as well get to know it!
