About the author

Brad has been teaching the Scriptures since 1971. Raised in Missouri, he began in the Lutheran system and was taught traditional Christian theology. In 1978, he began his studies in the Greek language and soon discovered that the well-defined Greek structure was not so well-defined. He soon began to learn the Hebrew language, and sat at the feet of Rabbinical scholars -- much the same way Sha'ul (Paul) may have done. He has been teaching the Hebrew language and culture since 1983. He has been featured on television and radio programs all over the world including just recently on the History Channel. Brad is an ordained minister through a non-denominational pastoralship. For more of Brad's teachings, visit his website: www.WildBranch.org

But is that the background of what Sha’ul is teaching? The first four and a
