Yes. The Bible Project is a great resource. It also happens to be one of the two significant influences that has led me to understand and explain the Bible the way that I currently do. I've pretty much watched and listened to everything they've made. You'll see that incorporate a lot of their work into my Medium posts.

Their main resources are the videos that they make which can be found on their youtube channel. They also have a podcast series which goes more in-depth to the ideas behind the videos. Those podcasts are structured like this conversation bonus episode rather than like the main dissect episodes. So they are really informative but don't really go walk through an entire in the way that Dissect walks through an entire album. Also they're videos tend to be focused on the overarching structure of each book or theme and don't really dig as much into individual stories. That being said the Bible Project is working on this new resource called classrooms, which is supposed to be a set of online lecture-style courses that will dive into specific books. I think they're currently alpha testing classrooms with a study on the book of Ephesians.

The other thing that has been really influential for me in these last few years has been the Eastern Orthodox tradition of spiritual practice and biblical interpretation. There is a podcast called The Whole Counsel of God which is by an Orthodox priest who walks through entire books similar to how Dissect walks through albums. He hasn't done them all yet but has series for Luke, John, Acts, and is currently going through Romans. He also has a blog where he posts some additional thoughts every few weeks.

Lastly, I should point out that most of these resources are themselves built on written books called commentaries, which has been the traditional way for Christians to organize explanations on Biblical texts. On the Orthodox side, there is a great series on each of the New Testament books by a priest named Lawrence Farley. On the Protestant side, I do really like Pentateuch as Narrative by John Sailhammer. That book happened to also be one of the early inspirations behind The Bible Project.

Hope those are helpful.
