OUR MISSION
inContext is a ministry that produces free videos, written resources and other study tools designed to help make the Bible accessible to everyone. While we believe the Bible overflows with wisdom for our modern world, it is a diverse collection of ancient books that requires responsible interpretation. It is not merely a collection of inspirational quotes or a codebook outlining rules to live by.
​
We believe biblical theology at its best involves discovering the intended message of the biblical writers to their original audience. Because of the cultural and linguistic gap that exists between the Bible and us, context is crucial.
​
Bible study is difficult, but its meaning is not limited to biblical scholars. Good interpretation requires sweat [effort] and skill [hermeneutical tools], not just sincere devotion. Our goal is to provide you with some of these tools, while also making the Bible so appealing that you will be motivated to put forth the effort.
