A chapter-by-chapter commentary on the Bible in the post-evangelical, Eastern-context, narrative-theology tradition. Drawing on N.T. Wright, John Walton, Tim Mackie, Scot McKnight, Brian Zahnd, and others.
This isn’t progressive theology, and it isn’t traditional American evangelicalism. It’s the long, slow work of recovering the text in its story — the ancient Near East where Genesis was written, the Second-Temple Judaism Jesus inhabited, the apocalyptic imagination of the prophets — and letting it speak again.

The opening chapter of the Bible isn’t a science textbook, and it isn’t myth. It’s the inaugural ceremony of the cosmos.
What’s here
- Verse-by-verse commentary, working through the Pentateuch first and the whole Bible eventually
- Reusable theological frameworks — the lenses the readings depend on (cosmic temple, image of God, divine council, exile and return, cruciform hermeneutic)
- Hebrew and Greek word studies where they unlock the text
- Reflection prompts for personal study or small groups
