ABOUT US
FOUR PILLARS
The Centre for the Study of Biblical Research (CSBR) relies on four pillars for New Testament studies: FIRST: Kingdom Centric SECOND: Jesus (Yeshua) Centric THIRD: Culture Centric FOURTH: Language Centric
“Comparing the resulting Semitic back-translation with the epigraphical and literary remains from the Second Temple period is an essential feature of Jerusalem School’s methodology” (Quoted from Jerusalem Perspective). From the establishment of CSBR twenty-five years ago, I felt it was our responsibility to distribute this material to the Church. We have continued to do the same with the Jerusalem Perspective (On-line).
