Moisés Silva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Moisés Silva was born in Havana, Cuba, on September 4, 1945, and has lived in the US since 1960. He has taught biblical studies at Westmont College, Westminster Theological Seminary, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Silva was one of the translators of the Nueva Versión Internacional and has authored or coauthored several books including a commentary on Philippians; Invitation to the Septuagint; God, Language, and Scripture; and Has the Church Misread the Bible?: The History of Interpretation in the Light of Current Issues.
He studied at the University of Manchester under Professors F. F. Bruce and James Barr. Barr's The Semantics of Biblical Language (1961) was a strong influence on Silva's Biblical Words and Their Meaning (1983, 2nd ed. 1994), which challenged common linguistic fallacies in biblical interpretation.
