Bible scholars are persons who have done advanced studies of the Bible. These are not necessarily Pastors who tend to focus the theological applications of the Bible, or whose responsibility it is to “shepherd” the flock.

Bible scholars tend to focus on the Bible as a book and usually seek to interpret scripture within its original historical context, by using available information to reconstruct that setting.

In light of that, authentic gifts for Bible scholars will definitely include actual Bibles but can also extend to wide range of supportive tools that will support their research and provide context for their studies. So in addition, to getting them a personalized Bible in different languages as needed, you may also want to add a Book of Biblical maps, a Concordance which will help them with cross-referencing and a Bible Commentary which can provide historical background and even perspective on language usage and symbolism.

Other authentic gifts can be more practical ones that help them to recreate historical context such as a clay oil lamp, a gold plated Ark of the Covenant or even a DIY Tabernacle in the Wilderness kit.

These are all thoughtful and very meaningful gifts that a Biblical scholar will definitely appreciate, as they seek to delve deeper into scriptures to ascertain the context in which the ancient Words were composed.

For Bible scholars who prefer to use only the most authentic materials, finding the right gifts can be a challenge. With so many different versions available in various translations, picking out the ideal gift can be overwhelming. That’s why it can be so helpful to turn to an expert source: authentic gifts from Israel for Bible study and scholarship.

When it comes to the best Bible study materials, nothing rivals the authority and authenticity of original sources from the Holy Land. Things like authentic Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, reproductions of ancient texts, and unique mementos crafted by gifted artisans offer a unique insight into the beauty and truth of scripture.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of authentic gifts to choose from. Those looking for an inspirational piece of art, for instance, can find a variety of beautiful and unique works such as scrimshaw, mosaics, and carvings. Those looking for tools of scholarship can find resources such as commentaries, maps, charts, and more. Of course, study aids such as pronunciation guides, flashcards, and other helpful materials make great gifts too.
