Since the twentieth century, I have adventurously navigated the Hebrew Bible and Hebrew currents within the New Testament. My journeys have been far-ranging, ongoing and existential.
My journey toward Homeland (echoing Hebrews 11:14) has been one of discovering and nourishing a "Hebraic" consciousness. It was deepened by trips to Israel, university and seminary studies, and especially by sitting under an elderly, wise, non-Jewish, Hebrew tutor.
One fruit of my explorations was a study paper I published (1986-92) with my early discoveries: Yashar. Later, more focused work was my graduate thesis on the Heavenly Council in the Hebrew Bible, Judaism, and New Testament. The goal of this website is not original: it is to illustrate how the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament form a unified message (Luke 24:44, 2 Timothy 3:16), focused on the God of Israel and his Messiah-Son (Yeshua of Nazareth), who share a common Hebrew Name that conveys God's unwavering purpose to save humankind from sin and death.
My observations about Jewish and Christian orthodoxies come from Biblical Theology (the internal contents and meanings of the Bible), not from Rabbinic talmudic tradition or Christian systematic theology. My studies start from 2 Timothy 3:16: "All Scripture is inspired by God"; in Hebrew, Kol hakatuv nichtav beruach elohim (Franz Delitzsch translation).
