A Hebrew Perspective...
Biblical truth has suffered much under the impact of the Jewish-Christian drama. Historically, within Christianity, Biblical truth has often been read and interpreted from an anti-Semitic bias which in turn triggers a negative response within the Jewish mindset.
The unique perspective of this course is to embrace the Jewish-Christian drama in order to unfold the truths of the Bible, free from any foreign influence or cultural tradition. Since Biblical truth has been channeled through the Hebrew culture and language, it will be traced and shaped from a specific Hebrew perspective, taking into account not only the Hebrew text but also the heritage of ancient Jewish sources.
