-Historically Christian Hebraism has been understood as the use of Hebrew, rabbinic, or Cabbalistic sources for Christian ​religious purposes during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The use of such source material had dramatic results including the re-translation of the Old Testament, the re-interpretation of the New Testament, and the re-examination of historically central doctrines of Christianity. Paradoxicallythese efforts entailed close intellectual cooperation with Jewish scholars who opposed Christianity in all its forms. ​+Why is Hebraica Veritas, or Christian ​Hebraism important todaysomeone might ask?

 +In light of perversions such as the "Black Hebrews"​ cult and all kinds of other cults abusing the concept of being Hebraic, and/or Jewish, we can only say that we are disgusted and would never want anyone to think for a second that when we talk about Christian Hebraism, this has to do with the idea of Christianity replacing Judaism or the Jewish people. This Satanic lie has already done enough damage. This is not what this wiki is about. ​
  
-Why is Hebraica Veritasor Christian Hebraism important today, someone might ask? +Rather, our goal is to show deep respect for the Jewish peopleJudaism and for what Israel has given and is giving to the world until this very day. 
  
-Well, the last time around "​we"​ didn't get this right, it ended up costing the lives of millions of Jews and it left a stain on Christianity that can never be removed. Maybe, just maybe next time when people ​begin to make up their minds about things such as what is the source of the faith we hold so dear and what is right response ​to the people who gave us this faith, we will know better? I hope so.+<​blockquote>​Christian Hebraism deals with deconstructing strange Christian doctrines concocted by people ​unfamiliar with and disrespectful ​to the original Hebraic foundation upon which our faith rests</​blockquote> ​

-I hope you enjoy these materials. Much time has been invested in bringing this information under one roof. +Scholarship might be roughly described along a spectrum of "​minimalist"​ and "​maximalist"​ approaches. Aaron Katchen'​s position can be used to define the maximalist end. His assertion is that Hebraism did not even necessarily imply a knowledge of Hebrew but was more closely tied up with biblicism, interest in Hebraica Veritas, and use of Jewish exegesis. According to this wide definition, few theologians of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were not Hebraists.

 +Leon Roth's position can be used to delineate the minimalist end of the spectrum. The implicit assumption of his article on seventeenth century Hebraists is that only those reading Talmudic and rabbinic literature in their original Hebrew and Aramaic, fluently and in large amounts (usually translating them and supplying commentary),​ are "​real"​ Hebraists.
