Written and compiled across centuries, the Bible stands as a remarkable piece of divine work. Despite the broad span of dates and geography, a consistent narrative emerges from its pages; a gripping story of rebellion, reconciliation and renewal.

Join Ridge U hosts Julie Wiemann and Will Herron as they explore the backstories to the authors of the Bible.
