He’s moving onto the New Testament.
Actor Tim Allen recently shared insights into his Bible reading journey, revealing that he has completed the Old Testament and started reading the New Testament. Describing the experience as a “treasure,” Allen expressed the deep impact of his focused, uninterrupted study. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the 71-year-old actor wrote about the transformative nature of re-reading the Old Testament and announced he was three days into reading the New Testament.
In previous updates, Allen has discussed his progress through various books of the Bible. In October, he mentioned reading Ezekiel and moving on to Daniel, sharing how challenging it was to interpret eternal concepts through a temporary human perspective. In August, he noted nearing the end of the Old Testament, reading from the Jerusalem Bible, a Roman Catholic translation, and expressed surprise at how different the experience was from his expectations.
Allen, known for his roles in “Home Improvement” and “Toy Story,” has spoken openly about his belief in God and his evolving appreciation for Christianity, despite remaining skeptical about organized religion. He has shared that his faith journey began after personal challenges, including questioning God following the tragic death of his father and his time in prison after being arrested for drug trafficking. These experiences led him to reevaluate his relationship with God, whom he refers to as “The Builder.”
In 2022, while discussing his Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses,” Allen emphasized the importance of keeping Christ central to the holiday, advocating for the acknowledgment of Christmas as a religious celebration. His previous show, “Last Man Standing,” also highlighted religious and conservative values, with faith being a recurring theme in the show’s episodes. The cancellation of the series by ABC led to public statements from figures like former Governor Mike Huckabee, who suggested the decision was influenced by a liberal agenda due to the show’s conservative themes.
