Under The Fig Tree

The aim of 'Under The Fig Tree" is to enable people to reread the Bible, i.e. within the Jewish context of the times in which it was written in order to hear what its original Hebrew and Greek audience heard. Traditional church doctrine is riddled with Greek-hellenistic thought and views; it is time to come loose from this and learn to think as the people of those days thought and viewed their world.

"Under The Fig Tree" started out as a radio show on Radio Israel.nl which is still being hosted by Debby van Galen. She holds a BEd of the University of Professional Education Amsterdam and is a certified Bible teacher; accreditation is by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Debby is well-known for her expertise of the Jewish background and traditions of the Bible, as well as her love and passion for the Scriptures. She is a gifted teacher with the unique ability to convey hard-to-grasp concepts in easy to understand ways with a dash of humor.
