Questions and answers
BibleFact is a website and mobile app with one new fact about the Bible every day. Each fact is checked against scholarly sources, cited, and explained in about a minute.
Our editors work from critical editions of the Hebrew and Greek text, standard lexicons and reference works, peer-reviewed biblical scholarship, and published archaeological reports. Every fact names what it rests on.
No. BibleFact covers the history, languages, manuscripts, geography, and culture of the Bible. It reports what the sources say and notes where scholars disagree, rather than telling you what to believe.
We give the chapter and verse so you can read it in the translation you already use, and we name the translation whenever the wording itself is the point. Where translations differ in a way that changes the meaning, we say so.
We publish a new fact every day and regularly add to our collections across more than 25 subjects, from manuscripts and archaeology to daily life in the ancient Near East.
BibleFact is free to read and free to start using. An optional premium plan unlocks unlimited collections, offline reading, and deeper background on each fact.
