Moisés Silva (born September 4, 1945) is a Cuban-born American biblical scholar and translator.
He was born in Havana, Cuba, and has lived in the US since 1960.[ citation needed]
Silva holds degrees from Bob Jones University (BA, 1966), Westminster Theological Seminary (BD, 1969; ThM, 1971), and the University of Manchester (PhD, 1972). At Manchester he studied under New Testament and Biblical Studies luminaries, F. F. Bruce and James Barr. [1] The latter'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 many common linguistic fallacies in biblical interpretation.[ clarification needed][ citation needed]

A past president of the Evangelical Theological Society (1997), Silva for many years had been an ordained minister of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.[ citation needed]
He served as a translator of the New American Standard Bible, [3] the New Living Translation (Ephesians–Philemon), [4] the English Standard Version [5] and the Nueva Versión Internacional, and as a New Testament consultant for Eugene Peterson's The Message. He has also authored or coauthored several books and articles, including a highly acclaimed commentary on Philippians; [6] Invitation to the Septuagint (with Karen Jobes); God, Language, and Scripture; Has the Church Misread the Bible?; and An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics (with Walter Kaiser, Jr.). He is editor of the second edition of the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and Exegesis (NIDNTTE), [7] formerly edited by Colin Brown. He currently resides in Litchfield, Michigan, where he continues his work as an author and editor.[ citation needed]
