Mauro Biglino is an Italian biblical translator, author, and researcher best known for his work translating ancient Hebrew texts for Edizioni San Paolo, one of Italy’s leading Catholic publishers under the authority of The Holy See. After spending years working directly with the original Masoretic Hebrew scriptures, Biglino began publicly arguing that many traditional theological interpretations were not supported by the literal text itself. His research led him to propose a highly controversial thesis: that the Bible may not describe interactions with a singular, all-powerful spiritual God, but rather encounters between humanity and a group of physical beings referred to as the Elohim. These ideas sparked intense debate and transformed Biglino into one of the most discussed and controversial figures in modern biblical research.
