MIQLAT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that seeks to be a refuge for Christians looking for serious biblical content and like-minded believers committed to being the Church. It is a Hebrew term that means "haven." MIQLAT seeks to be part of a solution to specific problems in the modern Christian experience, such as the scarcity of academic-but-accessible biblical-theological content in church and creating congregations of spectators conditioned to think of church as a time, a place, and the gatekeeper for worship and ministry. MIQLAT therefore has two fundamental goals:
(1) To produce serious content for understanding the Bible in its own ancient context that is decipherable, comprehensible, and useful to the non-scholar;
(2) To network like-minded Christians who share a desire for serious biblical content for the purpose of fellowship, encouragement, and ministry.
