ABOUT
About Me: I am Pinchas (Peter) Shir, curator and editor of this online publication. I am an educator who has been lecturing on college campuses and in cyberspace for over a decade. My academic fields are Biblical Studies, Jewish Studies, Second Temple Literature, and the New Testament. My niche specialty is Distance Education and Curriculum design. In Israel, I work on putting together dynamic video courses for the Israel Bible Center and Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, and teach some of them. In the USA, I provide rabbinic services to a small synagogue community. I frequently intersect with many Christians of diverse backgrounds who study the Jewish background of the New Testament, the Hebrew language, and ancient Israelite culture. Much of my own research focuses on the context and interpretation of biblical texts and is often tailored to this ever-growing, curious audience. I regularly share my teachings via YouTube; my books are on Amazon, but the bulk of my interdisciplinary research insights are released via this online publication.
About the Website: PSHIR.COM is a weekly multimedia publication dedicated to continuous learning in the area of Jewish and Biblical Studies. Subscribers are offered hundreds of curated educational features that gradually and intentionally expose them to ancient languages, culture, and history behind various sacred texts and human beliefs. Week after week, videos, audio, and articles of various lengths stimulate curious minds and inspire readers to keep reaching for depth in their own studies. Everything is geared to support the lifelong learning lifestyle and research. PSHIR.COM is 100% independent and is funded entirely by subscribers.
I have a simple offer for anyone who comes across my website.
