Course Info

This course invites people steeped in Western theological tradition to reread the Holy Bible through the perspective of Jews who lived in the biblical past. These insights into the Scriptures are gleaned by looking deeper into the cultural context, original languages, traditions, and history connected with these ancient texts. Be ready to have some traditional interpretations of familiar biblical passages challenged to their core. The suggested alternative interpretations will be more consistent with the historical background and will result in a more natural reading of the text. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised as you uncover previously unseen gems in God's Word.

    very good presentation of the subject
  • Danny R Brock

    In describing the coming and/or past destruction of Yerushalem, nobody seems to teach about the BarKochba rebellion, and the Y'hudim being driven out of the land for the children of Amman Bar Lot to take, then say it was always theirs. This relates to the Book of Esther, as well as Ezekiel 35, where the Sons of Amman took possession of the Land after they were driven out. It is ALL related.
