The Biblical Research Institute over many decades of ministry has presented some thought provoking articles which have excited students to seek a deeper knowledge and renewed interest in the biblical text.
Here is just a small taste of the banquet that is available to the International Messianic Community of Faith (IMCF).

In Roman eyes, Yeshua had challenged the authority and seat of Rome
