Like You’ve Never Seen Before
In many Bible studies today, there's a strong emphasis on reading and memorizing Scripture, but very little focus on understanding what the words themselves actually meant to the original authors and audience. It is because of these inadequacies that I created this course; to introduce you to the ancient perspective of the Bible, a world where words were not just linguistic symbols but vivid, concrete expressions of life, culture, and belief. And soon you'll be reading your Bible with a renewed sense of purpose, grounded in the Bible’s original language and culture.
