The Shema Israel Bible Course is designed for people with Jewish heritage or even Christians who wish to rediscover their Jewish roots. Shaped from a specific Hebrew perspective this course takes into account not only the Hebrew text but also the testimony of ancient Jewish sources.

The author of this course is Dr. Jacques Benyamin Doukhan, a former Yeshiva student, and currently Professor Emeritus of Hebrew Language, Exegesis and Jewish Studies, as well as former director of the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies at Andrews University. He was also the editor of Shabbat Shalom and has authored a number of books and articles dealing with Jewish-Christian issues, including Israel and the Church: Two Voices for the Same God.
