About The Christian Bible Reference Site

The Christian Bible Reference Site is a noncommercial, nonsectarian Christian Bible study site devoted to better understanding the Bible and its messages for the modern world. The site began in January, 1996, with the publication of Wisdom of the Bible at members.aol.com.

In 1999, we registered the TwoPaths.com domain name which alludes to the two roads we can choose in life (Matthew 7:13-14). The broad, easy way leads to destruction, but the narrow, more demanding way leads to eternal life. The two paths we can choose, righteousness or wickedness, are also a major theme of Old Testament writings (Psalms 1:1, 16:8-11, 23:1-3, 139:23-24, Proverbs 3:13-18, 4:14-18, 12:28, 15:9, Isaiah 35:8-9, Jeremiah 6:16).

In 2006, we changed the name of our Website to The Christian Bible Reference Site to better reflect our content and services. We have not changed ownership, management or contents, and everything here is still free. Now you can find us on the Internet at either www.ChristianBibleReference.org or www.TwoPaths.com.

General Editor Cliff Leitch, M.Sc., is the son of a Baptist mother and a Presbyterian father, and husband of his Catholic wife, Helen. However, the Bible study and reference materials here are not his own interpretation, nor do they represent any particular denomination or tradition. Instead, he relies on a number of reference materials (see References) and often visits a library for additional research. His goal is to use the insight of the best Christian minds of two thousand years to prayerfully, honestly and humbly interpret the book that all Christians revere as the core of their faith. He has been publishing Bible study articles on the Web since 1996.

Helen Leitch, B.Sc., serves as Copy Editor and uses her writing and proofreading skills to correct problems with spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, and completeness. She is also a Program Director of self-esteem and mentoring programs for school children.

Cliff and Helen live in Coral Springs, Florida, United States of America. They have two sons in college.

The Bible FAQ section, in particular, consists of questions sent in by site visitors and the answers gathered from various reference materials. Some visitors have contributed ideas for Bible Quizzes and Bible Word Search Puzzles. The TwoPaths Bible Studies series was added in response to a number of requests for free Bible study materials suitable for personal or group use. The copyright owners of several Bibles have given us permission to quote beyond their normal fair use limits. Some of our illustrations were supplied courtesy of ChristiansUnite.com. Many Web indexes, Web search services, Christian Websites, churches and individuals have posted Web links to our site without charge. Of course, our Website would have no reason for existence except for those of you who visit here for information, inspiration or entertainment. In an average week, about 18,000 visitors view about 60,000 Web pages here. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed in many ways!
