Most churchgoers sit through years of sermons without learning how to read Scripture for themselves — how law differs from poetry, or how a narrative is meant to reshape the way they see the world. BibleDojo exists to close that gap.^1
Built by Basil Tech, a Christian technology nonprofit in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is a free web platform that teaches hermeneutics through a martial-arts belt system. Trainings ask you to look closely at a passage. The Law dojo is live, from an introduction through Green Belt; other genres remain on the way.^2 Curriculum comes from Dr. Dru Johnson of the Center for Hebraic Thought and Dr. Dominick Hernández of Talbot School of Theology, using the ESV.^3
Project lead Sang Tian, a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former Dropbox engineer, started after realizing he had grown up in church and still could not read the first page of the Bible.^4 Cofounders include Kevin Kim (MDiv, Missio Seminary) and Matthew Chan.^3 Basil Tech also built Read Scripture; BibleDojo itself is not affiliated with BibleProject.^1
A Discord community sits alongside the trainings for people who want to practice together.^5
