Join us on June 18 at Upper House for an evening with Tim Mackie, co-founder of BibleProject, as he shares the story behind the project and the core biblical convictions that shape its work.
In this lecture, Tim will explore how the Bible is not simply a collection of ideas to be learned, but an invitation into a journey of character formation—one that leads to wisdom and a deeper way of living.
Tim Mackie is co-founder and lead scholar of BibleProject. He holds a PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a degree in theology from Western Seminary in Portland. His research has focused on the manuscript history of the Bible and the formation of the biblical canon, including his dissertation on the book of Ezekiel, with particular attention to the Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls. After years of ministry as a local church pastor and professor at Western Seminary, Tim now serves as lead scholar and creative director at BibleProject. He lives in Portland with his wife, Jessica, and their two sons.
