History
[edit | edit source]BibleProject was started by friends Timothy Mackie and Jonathan Collins in 2014.[5] They wanted to create free online teaching videos combining Mackie's academic background with Collins' professional experience writing explainer videos for technology companies. The organization's model is to be crowdfunded.[6]
