About Scriptura

Scriptura started with a small group of Hebrew scholars and Bible translation experts who were passionate about making God’s Word accessible to the global church. Today, we are a team of more than twenty people who love studying Scripture, encountering God through it, and helping others do the same—so they too can see God in His Word.

We provide visual and accessible resources of scholarly quality that enable the global church to engage with Scripture. By equipping people to see God for themselves when they read Scripture, we believe we can help by making exegesis accessible and available to all. Therefore, Scriptura resources are trustworthy (Biblically based), well-researched and comprehensive (layered), and rigorously exegetical (reliable).
