The RHEMA Project
The RHEMA Project is the name I’ve chosen for my journey to compile, read, and learn from the many witnesses to Christ who have come before us. My family’s faith background includes Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, and Evangelical churches, and I think because of that I have a deep desire to know our Savior better through the stories and struggles of Christians who have come before. The books here represent what I have learned while on this journey, I pray that as fellow sojourners in the wilderness of this world you would find encouragement in the resources on this site.
Ebook Study Bible
Reclaim Your Focus. Deepen your understanding. Experience the Bible without the noise.
Have you ever been reading the Bible and wondered what a specific word means in Hebrew? Do you wish your study notes provided more information? Are you daunted by seminary-level texts? Do you think that DRM in a digital age is antiquated and that ideas and information should be freely available?
If you said “yes” to any of those you might be interested in this project. I’ve taken the most essential Bible study resources that I use on a regular basis and combined them together into one meticulously hyperlinked file. The result is a study Bible that you can take on your e-reading device of choice. If, like me, you have an e-ink reader and would like to use it to spend time studying the Bible, this book just may be for you.

It’s two things. On the one hand, it represents my commitment to walking with the Church through the ages, collecting the writings of the saints and sitting at their feet to learn from them. Currently I’m finishing up my time with the Early Church (before the Edict of Milan) and hope soon to continue journeying to the present.
On the other hand, The RHEMA Project is a series of homemade python scripts that I have used to organize, analyze, and distribute a Repository of Historical, Ecclesiastical MAnuscripts (RHEMA).

For two reasons. First, it corresponds to a greek word meaning “utterance,” and is intended to recognize that the most I can provide are words; it is God, working through His Spirit that makes those words have meaning.
It is also a riff on the Logos software; Logos is powerful, but also complicated and protected by copyright.

God willing, coming in late 2026-2028. Aside from the Ebook Study Bible already available I have two other works drafted.
The first is similar to the study bible, in that it uses the same cross-reference technique to identify connections between Early Church writings and the Berean Standard Bible text. The goal is to provide a book that lets you read Early Church documents and connect their thoughts back to the Bible. I don’t have a solid timeline on when this will be complete, but I’m hoping to have it done in the 2026-2028 time frame.
The second is a book that introduces the struggles, stories, and Savior of the Early Church. The first draft is complete, and I hope it will be published in early 2028.

Yes… eventually. Right now it’s “engineering code,” which is to say I didn’t comment anything. I’m working on migrating it to Git so that anyone can access it, and using this website to host the data files themselves.
That being said, if you’re tech-savvy and willing to get your hands dirty with scripting reach out and we can figure out a way to get you access.
