BIBLE LANGUAGES

 

The Hebrew language is one of the oldest surviving languages known today, and is the official language of Israel – which explicitly connects its modern significance to its ancient biblical origins. Since the Israelites are God’s chosen people, it could be said that Hebrew is God’s chosen language. It was the language in which most of the Bible was originally written, and Bible scholars study Hebrew specifically to illuminate original linguistic meanings, contexts, and obtain a more in-depth Scriptural understanding. By studying Hebrew, a Bible reader can absorb Scripture like the best biblical scholars and break down any modern translational discrepancies for him/herself.

 
 
This course delves deeply into prayer as it appears in Scripture and in the traditions of Hebraic culture.

Gleaning from his lifetime of experience in prayer and in studying Hebraic culture, Perry Stone gives a comprehensive look at biblical prayer and the practices believers can still use today.
