“Through the Lens of An Ancient Yisra’elite Bible Study takes a historically responsible approach to Scripture, emphasizing linguistic, cultural, and social context as essential tools for interpretation. Benjamin Carrasquillo succeeds in bridging academic rigor with accessibility, making the work equally valuable for lay readers, ministry leaders, and students. The book offers a compelling corrective to de-contextualized readings of Scripture, illuminating meaning often lost in translation and guiding readers back into the cultural world that shaped the biblical text.”
Literary Global Book Awards — 4 Silver Star Review
“Through the Lens of an Ancient Yisra’elite Bible Study offers a refreshing, context-rich perspective on Scripture, grounding each discussion in the real lives, language, and customs of ancient Yisra’el. By illuminating details often lost in translation, the book opens new shades of meaning and makes familiar biblical narratives feel newly alive. Clear in organization and thoughtful in approach, it provides an accessible path into historical inquiry for personal study, group discussion, and classroom use.”
