Bibledex

Bibledex is ‘a project run by the University of Nottingham…in conjunction with video journalist Brady Haran’. It involves an expert speaking about about every book in the Bible, as well as individual verses, passages and topics. The website adds: ‘The videos are by no means comprehensive – rather they’re a curious assortment of academic insights into what is probably the most famous collection of books in history.’
