I am glad you sent me this invite – you know my heart and my passion for study. Perspective is so very important when studying the Bible. So much of the beauty and sheer genius within the scriptures can easily be misunderstood or missed entirely without having the proper frame of mind. I am so looking forward to this study of the may facets of scripture and the fundamental perspectives necessary to truly enjoy and understand the wealth and importance. It looks as if it will be a historian’s key to the candy store.
It is a good Idea, please give me more information when available.
I hope that you will show the parallism of the Talmud (Mishna an Gemara) as Christians often think that Jesus has taught new things.
Sounds great!! I would love to have more information when it is available. Thanks.
