A Cultural and Linguistic Excavation of the Bible

It all began in 1999, when my wife and I founded the Ancient Hebrew Research Center—a place to record and share my studies on the language and culture of the Bible.

Over the next twenty-five years, I immersed myself in the world of the ancient Hebrews, exploring how their worldview shaped the words and ideas found in Scripture. After more than thirty years of research, I brought together everything I had learned into this single volume.

A Cultural and Linguistic Excavation of the Bible digs deep into the history of the Bible, its people, and their language to uncover truths long buried under centuries of translation and interpretation.
