History
Dr. Dye’s journey of faith equipped her with a unique blend of traditional Jewish upbringing and Christian insight. She earned degrees in education and business, and eventually a Doctorate in Hebraic Studies in Christianity, formalizing her pursuit of the Bible’s original context. Over the years, she has served in various leadership roles within the Christian community, including positions with the Assemblies of God and Foursquare International. Notably, she directed a Foursquare Bible Institute, helping train others in biblical studies.
With her combined academic knowledge and practical ministry experience, Dr. Dye has taught and mentored believers across the globe. Her teachings have aired internationally – from Israel and South Korea to communities throughout the United States – bringing clarity to a sometimes fragmented faith. Those who learn from her appreciate how she bridges cultural gaps and makes ancient concepts relevant today.
Dr. Dye is not a traditional seminary professor, and she wears that distinction as a badge of honor. One summary describes her as
“a Bible teacher and author best known for her Temple Revealed series, which explores connections between the ancient biblical Temple and themes in the Torah, Gospels, and broader biblical narrative.”
It notes that “her work focuses heavily on the Hebrew roots of Christian faith, Second Temple context, biblical symbolism, and temple theology… [yet] her approach is accessible and designed for readers looking to go beyond surface-level interpretation.” In fact, “while not a peer-reviewed academic, her work is fruitful and stimulating—especially for readers seeking to synthesize biblical theology with ancient context.” This accurately captures Dinah’s heart: she strives to take profound truths and present them in clear, conversational ways so that anyone can grasp and apply them.
Students often remark that Dr. Dye’s teachings illuminate the Bible in a refreshingly holistic way. By emphasizing themes like covenant, kingdom, and sacred space, she helps believers see the “big picture” of Scripture. Her style is warm and engaging – more like a fellow traveler sharing discoveries than a lecturer. It’s this combination of theological depth and approachable delivery that has drawn a wide audience, from laypeople to pastors, all eager to reconnect with the ancient foundations of their faith.
Beyond her public work, Dinah is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She and her husband Michael live in the high desert outside Albuquerque, New Mexico, where they enjoy breathtaking skies and quiet moments with their grandchildren. Life in New Mexico’s landscape often reminds Dinah of the biblical stories set in the deserts of the Near East, bringing even more depth to her understanding of Scripture’s backdrop.
Dr. Dinah Dye’s vision is clear:
“to help readers rediscover the Bible as an interconnected, temple-shaped story – one rooted in history, revealed through covenant, and pointing toward the restoration of heaven and earth.”
She firmly believes that by rediscovering the biblical roots of our faith, Christians can find greater unity, clarity, and purpose. Her unique background – from Conservative Judaism to embracing Yeshua – positions her as a bridge between Israel’s story and the Church’s story, and she’s dedicated her life to building that bridge for others.

Dinah Dye is perhaps best known as the author of the Temple Revealed trilogy. These books – The Temple Revealed in Creation, …in the Garden, and …in Noah’s Ark – each explore a different biblical era through the theme of the Temple. The series has been widely acclaimed, becoming a long-standing bestseller in the Messianic Judaism category on Amazon. The impact of her work extends internationally: the first two volumes have been translated into Spanish, and teachers in countries like Puerto Rico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru are using the material to enrich their congregations.
To accompany the trilogy, Dr. Dye created a 12-part Temple Revealed Course Workbook, designed as a hands-on study guide. This workbook invites readers and students to go even deeper, with guided lessons that reinforce how “sacred architecture mirrors divine purpose and human destiny”. Through the books and the course, many have gained a new appreciation for how the biblical roots of our faith are embedded in ancient patterns and symbols, now brought to life in a way anyone can understand.
In recognizing the need for accessible resources on these topics, Dr. Dye founded Foundations in Torah, a ministry and online resource hub for biblical study grounded in the Hebraic perspective. The goal of this ministry is to help Christians reconnect the New Testament to the Old, providing teachings, articles, and courses that delve into Scripture’s original context. Dinah regularly speaks at conferences across the U.S., leads interactive Passover celebrations for churches and community groups, and mentors students one-on-one in seeing the Bible through ancient eyes.
