His Name Is One
His Name Is One by Jeff A. Benner, published by Virtualbookworm Publishing in 2003, is a 132-page exploration of the biblical names of God through the lens of ancient Hebrew culture and language. This edition delves into how modern interpretations can obscure the original meanings and significance of these names, emphasizing the importance of understanding the text from the perspective of its original authors.
Readers will find a detailed examination of the implications of defining God’s names within contemporary vocabulary, which can lead to a loss of their true Hebraic meanings. The book focuses on the phrase “sh’mo ehhad,” as described by the prophet Zechariah, to illustrate how the character of God is perceived differently when viewed through the ancient Hebrew context. By engaging with the material, readers can gain insights into the nature and character of God that may be overlooked in standard translations.
Official synopsis Publisher
When we read an English translation of the Bible we define the words within it according to our modern vocabulary allowing our culture and language to influence how we read and interpret the Bible. The Bible was written by ancient Hebrews whose culture and language was very different from our own and must be read and interpreted through their eyes. When we define the names of God using our culture and language we lose the Hebraic meanings behind the original Hebrew names of God. Consequently the true nature and character of God is hidden behind the veil of time and culture. By understanding the various names of God through the vocabulary and language of the ancient Hebrews, the nature and character of God is revealed to us in a new light. The prophet Zechariah described the character of God with the words “sh’mo ehhad” translated as His Name is One (Zechariah 14:9). This phrase beautifully describes the character of God from a Hebraic perspective that is lost to us through translation and unfamiliarity with ancient Hebrew culture.
