Think Hebrew.
The language of the Bible comes from a culture, time and place much different from our own.
This conference seeks to present God’s Word in its Jewish context in order to make the Bible intensely relevant and our calling to be Jesus’ disciples more urgent.
Walk as Jesus Walked
Exploring the Bible Conference
with Ray Vanderlaan
February 16, 17 & 18, 2007
Ray Vanderlaan, best known as the host of the seven-part video series “That the World May Know,” has been intrigued with the meaning and message of Jesus Christ since childhood. Since he received his Master of Divinity from Westminster Seminary in 1976, he has been actively involved with studying and teaching Jewish culture using the methods of Jewish education. “My life goal is to be of unique service in the kingdom of Jesus Christ,” he states, “by sharing my knowledge of the Jewish context of the Bible. I have a special interest in using my teaching ability and background to encourage young people to confront our culture with the message of God. That message is most clearly seen in its original Jewish context.” Vanderlaan received his Bachelors’ degree from Dordt College and his Masters from Westminster Seminary. He has been a teacher for 26 years and is currently a religion instructor at Holland Christian Schools in Michigan. He is also an ordained minister in the Christian Reformed Church.
