Hebrew History

Dr. John Roskoski has been studying the Samson narratives for decades. In the process he has acquired a BA, 2 MA’s, an MPHIL, and a Doctorate in Biblical and theological studies, with every degree focusing on Samson and the narratives attached to the name of this Judge of Israel. During his years of studying, he noticed that while ancient and Biblical authors held Samson in high regard, modern scholarship seemed to hold Samson in disdain and view the narratives as a low-quality history. Therefore, John decided to follow the lead of the ancient authors and the readings of the Roman Church ...

אבל גם שם היא משיגה את עושי מעשי העוול והאכזריות, ושם בחגווי הסלע, היא קוטלת אותם אחד לאחד. אחרי יום שכזה, מספר אבו חרב, תהיה הארץ מכוסה גוויות, הסלעים יהיו מלובנים מרוב החום, וההרים יתפוררו לאבקה שתרבץ על הארץ ככותנה צהובה.

In a classroom built on silence, one student dares to question everything. Why Don’t I See Me? A Son of Zion Speaks is a powerful, truth-telling novel that follows Jah Daniels, a high school junior in Columbus, Georgia, whose quiet frustration turns into a courageous journey to uncover his true identity. When Jah notices the school curriculum skips over Black history beyond slavery—and erases African Americans from the biblical narrative—he begins to feel invisible. But one spark changes everything. A gift from a wise teacher—The Autobiography of Malcolm X—opens Jah’s eyes to ...

Marriage in the Bible is a fundamental theme that reflects the relationship between humanity and the divine, serving as a cornerstone of societal structure and spiritual symbolism. Throughout the scriptures, marriage is portrayed not merely as a social contract but as a sacred covenant established by God. This divine ordinance is evident from the very beginning, with the creation of Adam and Eve, where the union of man and woman is presented as a foundational aspect of human existence. This early biblical narrative establishes marriage as an institution designed for companionship, ...

From a basket in the Nile to the courts of Pharaoh—Moses was born to lead. Before his name echoed through history, Moses was a child marked for death, born under a brutal regime bent on erasing his destiny. Yet, God had other plans. Adopted into Egyptian royalty and raised in the palace of his people’s oppressor, Moses’ life was a divine paradox—royalty on the outside, deliverer on the inside. This compelling biography explores: The miracle of Moses’ survival in a time of genocide His dual identity as both prince and Hebrew The shaping of a leader caught between two worlds God’s...

Brennan W. Breed claims that biblical interpretation should focus on the shifting capacities of the text, viewing it as a dynamic process rather than a static product. Rather than seeking to determine the original text and its meaning, Breed proposes that scholars approach the production, transmission, and interpretation of the biblical text as interwoven elements of its overarching reception history.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

On the edge of the Isleta Indian Reservation in the foothills of New Mexico lies the Decalogue Stone, a giant boulder inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Phoenician Hebrew characters. The Indians, Spanish and Americans knew of its existence, and the nearby Crypto-Jewish community of Los Quelites venerated it, building a secret altar that the Spanish Inquisition smashed and destroyed.

A short essay by Hugh Schonfield which tries to clarify the question of whether there is any evidence of the existence of a Gospel written in Hebrew.

The Hebrew People are the apple of God's eye. He loves them. He made promises to them and has protected them through amazing struggles and extreme trials. No other people group on earth has sustained such consistent persecution with such resilience and courage. From the time of Abraham until this moment God has been telling his special story through His earthly people - the Jews. He will never abandon them nor forsake them. Understanding the story of the Jewish people gives us keen insight into God's character and plan. It is the hope that this very short introduction to the History of the ...

אמר שיחכה בתשע מתחת לעץ החרוב. אולי טעיתי בשעה. אולי טעיתי בחרוב. בהוראות שקיבלתי בטלפון נאמר שביער יש דרך אל הכפר. וכבר כמעט שעה אני סובב ותועה כאן, ואי-שם בלב היער יש כפר שאיננו, ובכפר אנשים שאני הולך לבקרם משום שהם אינם. ואל הכפר הנעלם מוליכות דרכים הרבה, והפז'ו שלי, שכבר איננו עול-דרכים, מיטלטל ונזרק מבור למהמורה, מכף לקלע...

קו השבר ברור: מצד אחד ניצבת אליטה בעלת כושר ניידות ואוריינטציה בינלאומית, שחבריה יכולים להרגיש בבית כמעט בכל פינה ברחבי העולם; מצד שני ניצבים המוני האזרחים הנייחים האחוזים בשורשיהם: קשורים בכבלי רגש לנוף מולדתם ולמסורת עמם, תלויים לפרנסתם בשוק מקומי, ומנהלים את חייהם בשפה מקומית. מעל הכול, כוחם הפוליטי תלוי במנגנון הדמוקרטי של מדינת הלאום.

Today weapons exist powerful enough to annihilate whole nations. And violence has become commonplace, often in disregard of human life. Why has there been such a lessening of moral responsibility and, most important, what can be done about it? In providing the answers to these questions, Ron explores the history of Man’s research and investigation in the field of the human spirit.

“The following day Moses sat to settle disputes for the people, while the people stood around Moses from morning till evening” (Ex 18:13). Moses the judge? In today’s society injustice is much more than a reoccurring theme. Judges sit in the seat of judgment daily making decisions over people’s lives while they stand in front of them awaiting the outcome. We can clearly see similarities to ancient Israel and the modern judicial system, however we can also see similarities to another governing system. African kings, queen mothers and chiefs are the authority of a tribal government! ...
