Study series
Sons of Noah
Trace every son of Shem, Ham, and Japheth from Genesis 10 through history — to the nations they founded, the languages they spread, and the civilizations archaeology keeps confirming.
Early Church
How a small group of Galileans became a global movement. Persecution, martyrdom, the Roman road network, and the pagan culture God used to spread the Gospel to every nation.
Women of the Bible
In-depth studies of the women who shaped salvation history — from the overlooked servants who gave Israel two tribes to the businesswoman who hosted the first European church.
Angels
What cherubim, seraphim, and the four living creatures actually look like according to Ezekiel 1, Isaiah 6, and Revelation 4 — not the art, but the text.
Most studied
Asshur / Assyria
From Shem's son to the cruelest empire of antiquity to one of the oldest continuously persecuted Christian communities on earth.

How God Used the Greco-Roman World to Spread the Gospel
Roman roads, Greek language, the synagogue system, and an altar to an unknown god. God used all of it.
How the Topics Are Organized
Each series on this page is built around a set of Scripture passages and a set of questions the text raises. The articles give the written summary of each study, and most link to the full video on the Ekklesia YouTube channel. Passages are quoted from the Berean Standard Bible, and the articles point to the chapter and verse so you can read the context in your own Bible.
Where to Begin
If you like history and geography, start with Sons of Noah, which traces the nations of Genesis 10 and is the largest series on the site. If you want stories of people, begin with Women of the Bible or the Early Church studies on Aquila and Priscilla and Perpetua. If you want to read the text itself, the Angels study works from three passages: Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1, and Revelation 4. The Hebrew Word Studies series begins with the three words behind our English word worship, and Perseverance and Suffering takes the book of Habakkuk one chapter at a time.
How the Series Connect
The series are meant to be read across, not only down. The Sons of Noah articles on Javan and the Greek language explain part of the setting for the Early Church studies. Women of the Bible touches the same Genesis households that Sons of Noah describes. Perseverance and Suffering connects naturally with the persecution studies in the Early Church series. Every study ends with links to related articles, so you can follow whichever thread interests you.
Each article is a starting point rather than the final word. The summaries are written to help you read the passage more closely, so when a study raises a question, open the text and read the surrounding chapter. Note where an article says that scholars differ or that a point is a tradition rather than established history, and weigh those points accordingly.
If you are not sure where to begin, the Most Studied list above shows which articles other readers open most, and the series pages group related studies together so you can move from one to the next without searching.
New studies are added as videos are released on the channel. Subscribing on YouTube is the simplest way to see them as they come out.
