Greetings, dear friends! I’m thrilled that you’ve been following my blog, where I explore a wide range of topics related to the Bible in its original ancient—often Jewish and Hebraic—context.

I don’t believe the Bible needs to be rewritten, but I’m convinced it desperately needs to be reread with fresh eyes.

In the Think & Interact section of my blog (accessible via the menu), I cover topics grouped into categories like Torah, Hebrew, Gospels, Paul, Mary, Prayer, and Hot Topics. However, I’ve noticed that some of you have questions that don’t neatly fit into these categories. To address this, I’m creating a dedicated space for those off-topic questions.

If you’ve been pondering something, this is your perfect opportunity to ask! Many of you appreciate my honest approach to theology—I’ll always admit when I don’t know something. Transparency is important to me, so you’ll know when I’m certain and when I’m not.

I invite you to submit your questions here. Are you ready to dive in? Simply leave your question in the comments section below.

Let’s explore and learn together!

Important: You can now help this ministry grow in the way that works best for you. Some provide a one-time gift as the Lord leads. Others choose a recurring gift that keeps on giving from month to month. Both types of gifts hold immense significance for us and contribute significantly, ensuring stability to continue this cutting-edge ministry. Click HERE or below.

Thanks, Michael! I like NASB but it is wooden enough when I am too lazy not to read something in Hebrew or Greek :-). But back in the day I went back and forth between NASB and NIV.

These are my preferences. I am sure there are good arguments for using others as well. For example, NOTHING beats KJV in trying and often succeeding to capture Hebrew rhythm and poetry in English (maybe Robert Alter's translation). KJV has other problems, though, but still, it's a great Bible to read!

I will soon be preparing an study on the Choosing the best translation for you.
