People of the Bible

Every name in Scripture sits inside a story God is telling. Start with a person; we will open you straight to their anchor passage in the original Hebrew or Greek.

A Doorway, Not a Biography

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1. This index is a navigator, not a retelling. Each figure links to a single anchor passage, the verse where Scripture most plainly introduces or defines them, which you can then read word-by-word, cross-referenced, in the Apologetics Bible. For the deeper journeys of these figures, the Sanctum walks their stories; here, the goal is simply to put you in front of the text. Greek: Τοιγαροῦν καὶ ἡμεῖς, τοσοῦτον ἔχοντες περικείμενον ἡμῖν νέφος μαρτύρων, ὄγκον ἀποθέμενοι πάντα καὶ τὴν εὐπερίστατον ἁμαρτίαν, διʼ ὑπομονῆς τρέχωμεν τὸν προκείμενον ἡμῖν ἀγῶνα,

Amaziah the priest of Bethel

Priest who ordered Amos to leave Bethel and stop prophesying

Then Amaziah the priest of Beth–el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words., KJV, Amos 7:10

Ask Dave About Any Figure

This index opens the passage; Dave opens the figure. Ask him about the Hebrew or Greek behind a name, the chronological placement of a figure's life, their theological significance, or how their story connects to the arc of redemption. The Sanctum people archive goes deeper still for figures in the game.
