Comedian Tim Allen Reads Through Old Testament, Begins New Testament: ‘What a Treasure’

Award-winning actor Tim Allen has shared more about his Bible reading journey, revealing he recently read through and re-read the Old Testament and has started on the New Testament — an experience he described as a “treasure.”

“After nearly a year I have finished entire Old Testament and the experience of re reading, dedicated focus and no drifting has made this a humbling overwhelming experience. What a treasure,” the 71-year-old “Home Improvement” actor wrote in a Saturday post on X, previously known as Twitter. “Three days into New Testament.” . . .

In August, the television star shared that he had almost finished reading the Old Testament in the Jerusalem Bible, a Roman Catholic translation.

“Never took the time in all my years to ever read and really read the Bible,” Allen wrote. “Currently almost through the Jerusalem Bible Old Testament and almost done with the Prophets. Next up to New Testament. So far, amazing and not at all what I was expecting.”

Allen, who currently stars in the sitcom “Shifting Gears,” has spoken in interviews about his belief in God and his growing appreciation for Christianity despite maintaining skepticism about organized religion.
