Professor Severino Celestino da Silva é estudioso de línguas antigas e profundo analista do livro mais lido pela humanidade, a Bíblia. Espírita há mais de 20 anos, estudou toda a obra de Kardec e pesquisadores contemporâneos, relacionando o Espiritismo com a Bíblia, com respeito e conhecimento.
É Professor de Ensino Superior na Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Ex-seminarista,é pesquisador do hebraico e das religiões, principalmente o judaísmo, base de todas as religiões cristãs. Sempre estudou a essência e conteúdo divinos da Bíblia em sua língua original, o hebraico.
Escreveu o livro “Analisando as Traduções Bíblicas” e outro livro, mais recente, mas tão importante quanto o primeiro, analisa a sublime e consoladora mensagem de Jesus. É o livro “O Sermão do Monte”, naturalmente relativo ao famoso discurso proferido por Jesus aos ouvintes da Galiléia, da Judéia, de Jerusalém, de Decápolis e de além Jordão, trazendo os mesmos aspectos de tradução direta dos textos hebraico e grego, que o Dr Severino conhece tão bem. São livros que nos ligam ao pensamento de Jesus, e portanto, ao ideal do Bem, que sem dúvida nos concilia com o Cristo. Os direitos autorais dessas obras são revertidos para as obras assistenciais do Núcleo Espírita Bom Samaritano, em João Pessoa – Paraíba.
O professor Severino Celestino da Silva é ainda o apresentador do programa “Abrindo a Bíblia” pela Rede Boa Nova de Rádio.
