Description

To read the Bible always and only in translation is like listening to Bach always and only played on harmonica. You can get the tune, but you will miss much of everything else. Same is the case about reading the Bible without understanding in Jewish context and culture.

As Dr. Eli often says: "The Bible does not need to be rewritten, but it needs to be reread". This is your chance to do exactly that!

The Jewish Gospel of John Online Course is not, by any standard, another study on Jesus of Nazareth. It is an invitation to the listener to put aside their traditional understanding of the Gospel of John and to replace it with another one more faithful to the original text perspective. The Jesus (or Yeshua if you prefer) that will emerge will provoke you to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel.

Other than challenging the long-held interpretations of well-known stories, the author, with the skill of an experienced tour guide, puts us in the place of those who most probably heard this gospel read in the late first century. Such exploration of a variety of important contexts allows us to recover for our generation the true riches of this marvelous Judean gospel.


Who this course is for:

  • For people that believe that the Bible does not need to be rewritten, but it needs to be reread.
  • People that know that something (or perhaps a lot) is missing in what they have been taught.
