ESCANABA — Reading the entire Bible is a goal many start but not all finish. Christopher Hintsala decided to teach the entire Bible one chapter at a time on video for anyone in the world who wants to learn.

Hintsala, an Escanaba native and published author, has launched Bible Chapter by Chapter, a systematic audio and video Bible study series that will cover all 1,189 chapters of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. At his current production pace, the complete 1,189-episode library is projected for completion by 2029. He has already released more than 170 episodes.

“There is an enormous, underserved audience sitting between the casual Sunday-morning Bible reader and the seminary graduate,” Hintsala said. “Most people have never been taught how to read the Bible as a coherent text. That is the gap this series is designed to fill.”

Hintsala is not a pastor or a television preacher. He is a career educator — 16 years in classrooms and curriculum design, specializing in STEM, science and language instruction — and the author of 17 published books. He also holds an MBA.

Bible Chapter by Chapter series reflects his background directly, as each episode is built around an instructional framework of contextual introduction, sequential text engagement and theological reflection — the same scaffolding Hintsala applied throughout his teaching career.

In an era when AI-generated and algorithmically automated content has flooded religious media platforms, Hintsala has taken a deliberate stand in the opposite direction. Every word across the entire 170-plus episode library has been personally researched, written and recorded by him — no artificial intelligence, no outsourced scripts, no shortcuts.

“This is a long-term commitment,” he said. “The project demands that standard. Anything less would undermine what it’s trying to do.”

Bible Chapter by Chapter is currently in its sixth season, working through the New Testament letters of the Apostle Paul. The series is free to access on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with companion study materials available at his website, biblechapterbychapter.com.
