Daniel Bonilla-Ríos
A Few Words About Me
Simple or hard passages of the Hebrew Bible come to new life when we study, not only the lexical meaning, but also the theological meaning of the word. There and then we can “hear” the praise-filled silence in the class. Daniel started to study Hebrew because he wanted to handle the biblical text. Over the years he found out that the text handled him, opening him to wonder and awe in glad praise.
Education
Daniel has a BSc in Biblical Sciences, an MA in Theological Studies, an MA in Theology, and is currently doing his PhD in Bible. His dissertation deals with the phrase “Qol Adonai” in the Hebrew Bible.

Daniel worked in the United Bible Societies in the translation department, working in the committees of the Dios Habla Hoy-Study Edition, Reina-Valera 95 (both Study Edition and normal), and Traducción en Lenguaje Actual.
