Welcome! Our
goal is to help Christians grow in their understanding of
the Bible and their Messiah, Jesus, by providing resources to study
them within their Jewish culture and historical context. Like the spring of
En-Gedi that provides refreshment
in the parched desert of Israel, we seek to be a source of living
water for those who thirst
for deeper understanding of the scriptures.
We have established the En-Gedi Resource Center to provide articles, books and learning experiences that teach about the Hebraic context of the scriptures. We are an ecumenical educational ministry which holds to the beliefs of the historic Christian faith (see our Statement of Faith). We believe that a knowledge of Jesus within the Jewish context of first century Israel can deepen our relationship with him and help us bear fruit as his disciples.
The En-Gedi Resource Center is active in the following ways:
Website database: This website is a major focus of our ministry, providing an extensive, free information base that is accessible world-wide. It contains thousands of words of searchable Bible commentary and devotionals. It also links to hundreds of other related articles and websites.
Publishing & bookstore: The En-Gedi Resource Center is also a publisher of books and audio seminars, and offers these for sale with other resources we recommend. The En-Gedi bookstore is always open for business.
Articles & devotionals: If you'd like to keep learning with us online, we invite you to read Getting Dusty posted every two weeks on the En-Gedi home page. You are also welcome to join readers in 50 countries receive our articles and newsletters free by email, by clicking here.
Teaching, conferences & Israel trips: Our ministry also teaches in churches in Western Michigan and holds breakfast workshops for pastors in the area. We sponsor weekend seminars, pastor's conferences and study trips to Israel. See the events calendar for more.
