Sources & Credits

Every date, summary, and artifact on BibleTimescape carries its citations with it. Nothing appears here that has not first been read in its source. This page gathers the sources cited on the timeline and the open datasets the site is built on.

Scripture

Scripture quotations are from the Berean Standard Bible, which has been dedicated to the public domain. The complete BSB text is generated into BibleTimescape and served through the site's own Scripture reader.
