How Greek Thought Shaped Our Understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures 

Christian Faith by Greek Design

Introduction

The Scriptures were born in the soil of Hebrew—not in the marble halls of Athens. Yet somewhere along the way, the lens through which we read them changed. Greek philosophy, with its abstract ideals, dualism, and obsession with form over function, crept into the interpretation of sacred Hebrew texts. Slowly, subtly, the living, Covenantal, earthy language of Torah was replaced with lofty concepts, metaphysical speculations, and theological systems foreign to its original voice. This teaching peels back the layers of Hellenistic influence that reshaped the meaning of sin, soul, salvation, and even God Himself. It will challenge what we thought we knew—and invite us to return to the Hebraic roots that speak in action, relationship, and Covenant. Until we strip away the Greco-Roman glasses, we will never see the Word as it truly is—alive, concrete, and deeply bound to this world and its Creator.
