Tov Rose, known as The Happy Theologist, is a Messianic Jewish author, Bible scholar, speaker, teacher, podcaster, and multifaceted consultant with over three decades of experience in ministry, leadership development, entrepreneurship, and communications. A second-generation Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus) since 1973, he has dedicated his life to helping people—both Jewish and Gentile—deepen their understanding of the Jewish roots of the Bible, the unity of the Hebrew Scriptures and the Apostolic Writings (Old and New Testaments), and the person and nature of God as revealed through a Hebraic lens.

Rose serves as the chief researcher and driving force behind The New Messianic Version (NMV) Bible Project, a groundbreaking translation and study resource available on platforms like YouVersion, Amazon, Bible.com, and tovrose.com. The NMV emphasizes the Jewish context of Scripture, addresses questions about the Godhead in ancient Judaism, and highlights the consistent message of Messiah across both testaments. He has authored or contributed to over 40 books and hundreds of articles on topics including biblical theology, the Jewishness of Jesus, midrashic studies of the New Testament, Passover and biblical feasts, marriage and betrothal imagery in Scripture, and practical applications of faith in leadership and daily life. Notable works include Jesus in the Old Testament, Jesus: The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and the New Messianic Version Bible.
