The Scripture Witness
Gospel Grain Publishing · Rev. Brett James
The whole Bible, verse by verse. Every person and every place of Scripture, set down with their kindred, their lands and their years. And every claim carrying its witness and its grade, so that you can see what is written, what is reasoned, and what is still being sought.
For the Berean Who Must Teach to Others
They “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” — and this library was built for that man. Not to be admired, but to be taught and preached from. A lesson, a sermon or a study begins here with three choices.
Anyone who stands up to teach ought to know the difference between what can be taught as written and what can only be offered as a reading. That is the whole reason this library grades itself, and it is the thing no commentary on your shelf will do for you. See all eleven grades →
Next: the builder that gathers what you chose into a lesson or sermon outline you can keep, print and preach from. Today, Begin opens your text under the books you chose, with every note open and the three moves beside it. See the plans, Helps and prices →
Three Works, One Library
Written over years for the pulpit and the class, and joined here so that each one answers the others.
In the Beauty of Holiness
The Expository StudyThe Scriptures opened verse by verse — observation, interpretation, correlation and application — with the Greek and the Hebrew of the keywords, the history, the Qumran witness, and the author’s own position always given and always graded.
Open the Bible →The Book of Names
The Register of PersonsEvery person of the Bible: their lives, their lines and their kindred, with family trees, the years of the world, and “which is which” charts where two men share a name.
Walk the register →The Book of Places
The Register of LandsEvery land, city, mountain, river and people of the Bible, region by region, with maps drawn to the text and the sites of the Dead Sea scrolls among them.

The Foundation
Where every reader begins: the King James Bible, the three works of this library, and the ground the faith stands on. These twelve are not put to a vote.
The Gospel Grain Publishing Library
Rev. Brett James’s books, opened beside the reading: The Sacred Clock Collection (The Sacred Clock, Wandering Stars, Original Sin, The Elder Witness with The Essenes at Qumran), El Elyon and The Oil and the Wine. Switched on, his books speak under every verse they name and in every search, and his own answers stand under the questions of the Doctrinal Questionnaire. Switch it off and you are back on The Foundation. The switch is at the top of every page.
Every Claim Carries Its Grade
This is the thing that makes the library what it is. Nothing is asserted without saying on what ground it stands.
Written is what the Bible says. Reasoned is this house’s own inference from it. Sought is searched out and not settled. Elder Witness is 1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Apocrypha of 1611 and the scrolls, read beside the Bible and marked as such, so that a reader whose canon differs can see exactly where a claim leans on them. A reader may weigh every one of them and go another way, and the grade is there so that they can.
