JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH

What Is the Correct Pronunciation of the Divine Name?

What is the true pronunciation of God’s sacred name, represented by the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה, YHWH)? For centuries, this question has sparked intense debate among scholars, translators, and believers, shaping how we worship, study, and translate the Bible. In JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH, Edward D. Andrews, Chief Translator of the Updated American Standard Version (UASV), delivers a compelling exploration of this pivotal issue, presenting a meticulous case rooted in linguistic, historical, and biblical evidence.

Delving into the Masoretic Text’s vowel pointing, ancient inscriptions like the Mesha Stele, and Greek transcriptions from Hellenistic sources, Andrews examines the leading arguments for the divine name’s pronunciation. He confronts scholarly claims head-on—from comparative Semitic linguistics to modern reconstructions—offering a clear and accessible analysis that respects the Hebrew Bible’s authority. With a commitment to letting Scripture speak for itself, this book challenges readers to reconsider assumptions about God’s name and its significance in salvation and worship.

Whether you’re a scholar, pastor, or seeker of truth, JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH invites you to weigh the evidence and discover the name God revealed to His people. Engage with this vital discussion and deepen your understanding of the one true God.
