NEW RELEASE! We are living in an era where the Bible is not just read regularly by Christians, but with the advent of social media, it seems almost everyone nowadays is sharing their own interpretation of it. However, despite the considerable time many individuals spend reading the scriptures, a significant number overlook or are unaware of the fundamental rules or principles of interpreting ancient texts correctly. This oversight can lead to misinterpretations of the biblical text with far-reaching consequences. On the other side of the spectrum, scholars, including Christian scholars, dedicate a lifetime to learning how to read and interpret ancient texts like the Bible before daring to present their ideas and insights publicly. Similarly, the Jewish people, religious and non-religious alike, have been studying the Bible for thousands of years, sometimes beginning as early as age three, and have developed unique interpretative methods distinctive to Jewish people. Dr. Eitan Bar, a Jewish-Christian scholar with advanced degrees in Bible, apologetics, and theology, is a unique combination. As a native Hebrew speaker and Bible scholar, he combines his Jewish background with his Christian education and faith to offer an accessible guide to understanding the Bible "like a Jew."

He presents these principles in an easy-to-understand language enriched with relevant examples. - Relevant to ALL Christians - Contrary to widespread perception, understanding the Bible is not an exclusive privilege of a select few pastors, gifted individuals, or scholarly elites. The Bible is intended to be read and comprehended by everyone - from casual readers to seminary students. This small book offers unique insights into the Bible and can dispel many misconceptions, enabling you to grasp the meaning of Scripture and its application to your life in the twenty-first century without getting lost in the text. By applying these eight rules, you will acquire the ability to evaluate any teaching, whether in written form, video, or a church sermon and determine whether the interpretation aligns with proper boundaries or not.--- Scroll Down for a Sample ---
