Click on any name on the left to discover more information about that person.

The Filters

Use the filters to select groups of people.

• Search for any word - a name, a role, a sex or any of the themes.

  • Be aware that the search will find any wording containing those letters e.g. type in "king" and it will also allow disciple-making.

• Sex will filter out males or females.

• Select a role, for example to filter out the prophets or kings.

• Period allows you to select all of the Old Testament characters, or New Testament characters, or break it down even further into specific historical periods.

• The location filter should reveal the people who lived and worked  in a particular place.

• The themes filter contains many items. They will be listed when you click on it. For example, click on "martyr" to find those biblical characters who were killed because of their faith.

Note that selecting two or more items in the same filter (or different filters) will produce those characters for whom all of those are true. For example, selecting "male", "Apostle" and "martyrdom" will produce a list of the apostles who were martyred. Or, selecting "interacted with Jesus" and "Gentile" will produce a list of the non-Jews with whom Jesus had some sort of relationship.
