Hermeneutics

Hermeneutics simply means the interpretation of the text.  Hermeneutics can apply to any text.  On this site we will focus our attention to the interpretation of Biblical texts.  I have written three Bible courses on Hermeneutics. 

The first Hermeneutic course is written on a fundamental level.   “Hermeneutics for beginners.”

The second course is a more advanced look at Hermeneutics.  This course is focused for those who are on the graduate (Masters) level.

The final course is “Advanced Hermeneutics.”  This course is offered to those on the Graduate level of Doctorate.

I offer all three courses for $30 each.

Messiah in the Feasts

This course book covers the seven major biblical Feasts and Shabbat. This study follows an allegorical approach looking at each of these Feasts. Within each Feast Mashiach appears in some beautiful way that can only be seen through the allegorical lens of focus. The Torah mandated these Feasts as a means for learning about Messiah, the Messianic Kingdom and the Olam haba (world to come). This course book offers a fundamental look at Messiah in each of the feasts.
