Reading the Bible and contemplating its teachings is a common part of a Christian's life; for me, it is also the greatest life hobby. I have read the Bible in various translations and approached it in many different ways. [1]), but when the Czech Study Translation (which is very similar to English Standard version) was released in 2009, it captivated me, and I have stuck with it ever since. I began to emulate rabbinic commentaries written in the margins of the biblical text—I would always tape one page of the Study Translation onto a large drawing and write (by hand) my ideas, notes, and comments around it. I tried to understand the depth of the text, seeking "deep-sea fish." [2]I prepared sermons in this way, also recording personal reflections and my prayers (though you won't find those in the text).

Gradually, I am now transcribing handwritten notes into Word documents. If you find any of them interesting or useful, I would be glad to share.

The Bible consists of 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,102 verses. I likely won't have time to transcribe everything on this side of heaven (and on the other side, it won't be relevant anymore because the Bible loses its significance in the living presence of God).

Dear Professor, what is it like to read the same book throughout your entire life?" Adventurous, because that book is not straightforward. There are layers, and you go from one layer to another, deeper and deeper. At first, there are, metaphorically speaking, corals and colorful fish, and then there are deep-sea fish. Suddenly, you find yourself in a world where it seems dark because, of course, we are culturally distant from those ancient times. There are different concepts, different intellectual coordinates. More deep-sea fish from Hebrew."
