The Study Bible for All
Illuminating the Jewishness of God's Word
Rediscover the Bible through its original Hebrew context — the language, culture, and covenant framework that unlocks the full meaning of both Testaments.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Psalm 119:105
Why a Hebraic Study Bible?
The Bible was written by Jewish authors, in a Jewish culture, about a Jewish Messiah — and yet most Christians read it through a Western, Greek philosophical lens that was foreign to its original authors. The result is a faith that is often disconnected from the very foundations that give it meaning.
The Study Bible for All is a resource designed to bridge that gap. Drawing on the rich heritage of Hebraic scholarship, it restores the Jewish context of Scripture — the feasts, the covenants, the Hebrew names, the rabbinic background, and the prophetic framework — so that believers can understand the Word of God the way its authors intended.
Hosted by Jim and Maria Long and taught by Dr. Richard Booker of the Institute for Hebraic Christian Studies, these teachings can be presented in a classroom, home, or church Bible study setting using a purchased syllabus workbook. Contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Key themes illuminated through a Hebraic lens.
The Hebrew Names of God
Discover the profound meaning behind God's names in Scripture — Elohim, YHWH, Adonai, El Shaddai — and how each name reveals a different facet of His character and covenant relationship with His people.
The Biblical Feasts
The seven feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23) are not merely Jewish holidays — they are prophetic rehearsals of God's redemptive plan. Learn how each feast points to Yeshua Jesus and His first and second coming.
The Covenants of Scripture
Trace the thread of God's covenants from Adam through Abraham, Moses, David, and the New Covenant — understanding how each builds on the last and finds its fulfillment in Messiah Yeshua.
The Jewish Background of the New Testament
The words of Jesus, the letters of Paul, and the book of Revelation are saturated with Hebrew idiom, rabbinic method, and Old Testament allusion. Reading them in their Jewish context transforms your understanding.
Israel and the Church
Understand the biblical relationship between Israel and the church — not as replacement but as grafting (Romans 11). Discover why God's covenant with Israel is eternal and what that means for believers today.
Messianic Prophecy
Explore the hundreds of prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures that point to Yeshua Jesus — His birth, life, death, resurrection, and return — and how their fulfillment confirms the unity of the entire Bible.
