Overview of the Entire Bible in 17 Minutes!
Overview of the Entire Bible in 17 Minutes!
The Bible is comprised of 66 different books written by about 40 authors over a period of about 1,500 years. It has nearly 1,200 chapters and over 30,000 verses. If you were to read a chapter each day, it would take over 3 years to read the entire Bible!
In our newest video release, Christianity Engaged founder, David Erhart, provides an overview of the entire Bible in 17 minutes to help you better understand its story from beginning to end. The video includes a summary of both the Old and New Testaments as well as a short gospel message (the “good news” of Jesus Christ). You may also want to watch our previous video, The Secret Combination to Unlock Understanding the Bible, where we provide an easy-to-memorize numerical combination to help you navigate through the Bible and understand its structure. We hope these two videos are a blessing to you, increase your understanding of the Bible, and encourage you to read the Word of God for yourself. Please share them with your family and friends. God bless!

Thank you for making this easy to understand.
Biggest bullshit i ever heard! So why does ‘god’ only have one son?? Why not more? Such a human way of thinking…just to make Jesus more important..because if there were more sons/daughters than it would’nt make such a impact! All people who believe are just stupid!
Lord i love you forever ❤❤❤
Thank you for this video
Dude I wish this was true, “the bible in 17 minutes “ I just spent 30 minutes reading John chapter 1-4 and it took my 30-40 mins lol. I feel I have to read it, go back and re say it to myself so I understand the Thee’s Thou’s and other random words. Thanks for the video though
slow it down brother
First time I saw any WNBA- Clarke seems cool
Thanks brother God bless you. Please pray for me I felt in Sin.
AWESOME! This is exactly what I was looking for to share to people an overview of Christianity!
What an amazing video!!!! Thank you ❤
I have been an atheist all my life. I am now in my forties and I am starting to feel like I may have been wrong. There are just too many amazing coincidences to ignore. I feel like I am on the back foot and have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you for this video, I’m going to have to watch it a few times to wrap my head around it. Thanks again

Don’t forget Christ came to cause division. 51 Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;
Thank you so much for this. I still need to read the Bible, but I find the way the text is written a little daunting. It’s nice to hear it. Explain in a straightforward fashion. Also the way you tell stories is very engaging. Thanks so much.
Hallelujah. Glory be to Jesus. I was so tremendously blessed. Thank you brother. In here in May 2025 and is still fresh like ever.
Christianity makes no sense at all.
A god created a universe with trillians of galaxies each with trillians of stars and planets.
Just to make this tiny blue/green marble for a spicific form of life.
Billions of years go by until this life form evolves from greater apes.
The god that could have made any universe and knows what happens to each of us before we are born.
That god built this specific universe where he knew his creation would stuff up with the fruit.
He knew it would go wrong but still lined everything up to go wrong.
The tree right there in fruit in the garden, why just why put it there?
Why not put it under a people proof dome on Jupiter?
Then why leave your knew borns alone knowing about the serpent.
Not building a serpent proof fence and leaving them to do what play golf or go down to the local bar/pub?
Knowing they will stuff up then you have original sin. Which is part of the plan.
So now you send yourself down to earth to sacrifice yourself to yourself for a weekend.
As a loop hole to your own perfect plan.
Not much of a sacrifice because at the end of that nothig changed.
Throw in a global flood that didn’t happen oh, and the Exodus that also didn’t happend and you have an old book.
Make it so messed up that people invent over 4500 different denominations as people will not know to love, hate or k$ll the LGBTQ+ commuity. Offer no good and sufficient evidence other than a book says a thing. Unknown authors and nothig external and that is your plan.
Christianity makes absolutely no sense at all.
Thank you ❤
May jesus bless you bro❤❤
Wait if everyone was at the Tower of Babel, how do we reconcile with civilization in the americas?
So dumb how many people still believe this shit
god is coming, and even if it seems far away it really isnt. you have time to repent and prepare for this day, please dont let it go to waste.
I have never felt this light before. May the devil be beneath our feet.
So helpful,God bless you!!!!❤
The Bible a collection written diarea
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video, you are a wonderful man, be blessed! this video should be subtitled in many many languages.
love it, keeping faithful, learned so much in one short video
Is the Truth a Story I think not.
I want to know you better, God. Please walk closely with me, I seek you. Amen.
First love churcch
Very well done video glory to God
Excellent summary!
Thanks
The beginning makes no sense at all, what made humans so filled of sin?
If god was almighty all knowing why let civilization get this bad and filled with evil ???!!!!!
Very interesting and enjoyable history of the old testament. Well done.
Excellent breakdown of the Bible. I was only listening to this video as I was driving, so apologies if you’ve already covered this but, you should make it very clear when you’re talking about extra Biblical source information like the fact that Ishmael is the father of Arabs, not necessarily a specific Arab, or about Alexander the great which is not discussed within the Bible. Also, it would be helpful to some to not gloss over the judgement and punishment for those who don’t except the incredible sacrifice Jesus made.
love you
Thank You
Just started my journey not too long ago and I must say, this helps me so much, thank you.
In 70 AD the temple was destroyed again as Jesus prophesied. The sacrificial system was ended and one cannot physically sacrifice an animal as Jesus became the onetime sacrifice for us all, and we are no longer bound to worship Him in the temple but can do so all over the world in Spirit and in Truth.
