For the past couple months, I’ve had a remarkable Bible scholar staying at my house. Milly Erema has been teaching Old Testament for the past 20 years at Uganda Christian University. You’ve actually heard me quote her several times in my books, along with other Africans and Asians who I consult for their non-Western perspective.
Join me at the Narkis Bible Study online (+ update 1/27/22)
What’s the significance of the fact that the woman lost a drachma (not a denarius) in the Parable of the Lost Coin? Might Jesus have had something in mind from the Scriptures he read? Find out more by watching an informal talk I gave recently for the Bible study at Narkis Church in Jerusalem. A […]
I’m Speaking Twice this Fall, B’ezrat HaShem
I’m excited to have two upcoming speaking engagements this fall. One will be a Saturday morning seminar at Grace Point Church in Topeka, Kansas on September 25, and the other will be a two-day retreat in Switzerland on October 22-23. (See links for info.)

Reading the Bible with Janet Parshall
My most recent book, Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus (Baker, 2018) is about cultural difficulties that separate us from the world of the Bible. It looks at big-picture ideas that we tend not to grasp that are critical for getting its message. I had a really good discussion about some of these ideas with Janet […]
Update from Lois and Check out “The Biblical Mind”
Friends of Lois, you may have heard that I’ve been dealing with some health challenges during the winter of 2021, so haven’t been writing regularly. I live in Michigan, but I’ve been staying with family in Minnesota so that I could get tests done at the Mayo Clinic, which have been amazingly helpful. In the […]
Lois, Why don’t you write more from a “woman’s perspective”?
I am a woman and I write about the Bible. I’m often asked, “Lois, why don’t you write more about women’s perspective on the Bible?” You might be surprised, but over the years I’ve specifically avoided women’s issues. I’ve written several books now about Jesus’ Jewish context, Hebrew words and every sort of other contextual […]

New opportunities to learn Hebrew or Greek
I’ve got some great news for those of you who are interested in learning Hebrew and Greek! As you may recall, last spring I posted a blog called “Hebrew? Greek? There’s a better way to learn.” It’s about a pioneering program that has developed methods to teach Hebrew and Greek more effectively using modern “communicative” […]
How God Used the Torah to Save the World
For those of you who have followed me for awhile, you know that I write mostly about Jesus in his Jewish context. What if we took a closer at the Torah in its context? In this five-day webinar from the Center for Judaic-Studies, October 5-9, I’ll be taking a deep dive into the Torah and […]
Two Upcoming Online Seminars!

COVID has prevented me from speaking face to face, but this way many more people can join in. I’m going to highlight the first one here. This is a week-long, interactive webinar […]
