Character (Episode 6)

In Episode 6 of How to Read the Bible from The Bible Project Collection, we explore how biblical authors portray characters with surprising depth and realism.

Rather than presenting people as simply saints or sinners, good or bad, Scripture reveals individuals who are complex, flawed, faithful, fearful, courageous, and compromised—often all at once. This nuanced portrayal invites us to see ourselves in the story and to recognize God’s grace at work through imperfect people.

This episode will help you read biblical characters more thoughtfully and discover how their stories contribute to the larger narrative of redemption.
