Founder of Coins from the Bible
Greg Magee is the founder of Coins from the Bible, an educational ministry and resource dedicated to connecting the Bible with the historical world in which its events took place. His passion for ancient biblical coins has grown into more than 25 years of collecting and research, using these tangible pieces of history to help others explore Scripture through archaeology, numismatics, historical research, and biblical context.
Through Coins from the Bible, Greg shares ancient coins connected to biblical people, places, and events, along with research, educational resources, articles, presentations, and media. His goal is to make biblical history accessible to collectors, Christians, and anyone interested in exploring the historical context and evidence surrounding Scripture.
