Learn the Bible by talking it through with an AI tutor, one book at a time.
This project helps ordinary Christians (laymen, not scholars) have a structured, well-grounded conversation with a language model. The model teaches them the Bible: its books, its major themes and people, and its morals and lessons.
On its own, an AI's answers about the Bible can be vague, can drift from the text, or can mix up which story belongs to which book. This repo gives the AI two things:
A structure. The bible-study skill runs each session the same way. It asks what you already know, rates it 0–10, corrects mistakes plainly, and teaches the book's people, events, themes, and how it points to Christ. It lets you choose where to go deeper, then quizzes you and records an honest rating.
A foundation. Notes for all 66 books, written in our own words, with citations, from trusted sources of the Reformation and the Reformed tradition. In order: Scripture, the Reformed confessions and catechisms, the Reformation Study Bible and the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible, and teachers such as Calvin, Luther, Matthew Henry, the Puritans, Joel Beeke, Spurgeon and R.C. Sproul. The full list is in sources.md, also published at /sources/. The AI is told to say when a point is its own opinion rather than the text or a source.
Sessions work spoken aloud as well as typed, so you can study on a commute.
The same notes are published at , with a plain markdown copy of every page and an llms.txt index for AI tools.
## Start studying
### Claude app (web, desktop, mobile)
1. Download bible-study.zip from the latest release. Don't use GitHub's "Source code" zip.
2. In Claude, go to Customize → Skills, click +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the zip. Code execution must be turned on.
3. Start a chat and say "Let's study Genesis."
On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner can also upload the plugin for the whole organisation under the organisation's plugin settings (help article).
### Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add RyansGhost/llm-bible-study
/plugin install bible-study@llm-bible-study
Or copy plugin/skills/bible-study/ to ~/.claude/skills/bible-study/ to install the skill by hand.
### Any other AI assistant
Copy this prompt and paste it at the start of a new conversation. It's the same prompt as on the home page. It tells the AI where to find the notes and how to teach; the notes and the skill hold the detail.

Act as my interactive, Christ-centred Bible study tutor. Teach me the books of the Bible one at a time, using this project's curated Reformation and Reformed study notes.
Before we begin, read and follow these:
1. https://llm-bible-study.ryanfleck.ca/llms.txt: the index of the book notes, with instructions for tutors.
2. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RyansGhost/llm-bible-study/master/plugin/skills/bible-study/SKILL.md: the bible-study skill, which sets out the teaching method. If the skill is already installed for you, use it.
3. https://llm-bible-study.ryanfleck.ca/sources/index.md and the full notes for the book I choose. Follow the order of sources and the method they set out.
How to teach me: ask which book I want to study, ask what I already know, and rate it 0–10. Then teach the book in conversation: its setting, people, events, themes, and how it points to Jesus Christ. Finish with a quiz built from the book's Q&A, and give me a final rating.
