Product Description

Book Description

Following the overall structure of the highly successful Basics of Biblical Greek, this course focuses on biblical Hebrew. With the help of an accompanying CD-ROM, this text emphasizes the structural pattern of the language and minimizes rote memorization. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From the Back Cover

Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammer takes the groundbreaking integrative approach of William Mounce’s widely used Basics of Biblical Greek and applies it to learning and teaching biblical Hebrew. This book makes learning Hebrew a natural process and shows from the very beginning how understanding Hebrew helps in understanding the Old Testament.

Features of Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammar

Combines the best of inductive and deductive approaches.
Field-tested at a number of colleges and seminaries.
Uses actual examples from the Hebrew Old Testament rather than "made-up" illustrations.
Emphasizes the structural pattern of the Hebrew language rather than rote memorization, resulting in a simple, enjoyable, and effective learning process.
Typestyle highlights particles added to nouns and verbs for easy recognition of new forms.
Includes a CD-ROM featuring the full answer key to the accompanying workbook; and full-color, printable charts and diagnostics. Includes Acrobat Reader. (Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, NT4 and MacOS 8.1 or later.) With an Internet connection, you can also access additional resources including FlashWorks(TM), a fun and effective vocabulary-drilling program from Teknia Language Tools.
Section of appendices and study aids is clearly marked for fast reference.

A separate workbook is also available. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Hebrew Textbook, 20 May 2007
This review is from: Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammar (Hardcover)
When I first learned Hebrew, some years ago now, I used two different textbooks (Harper and Eaton). I now teach introductory Biblical Hebrew and for several years used the classic text by Weingreen. The advantages of Weingreen are its comprehensiveness, conciseness and copious exercises. But it also has some serious pedagogical weaknesses, as is only to be expected in a book last revised in 1959. For example, important concepts are sometimes explained too briefly and others not at all. I thought I would try a new approach and use Basics of Biblical Hebrew. I am glad I did. The book's emphasis on `diagnostics', rather than on rote learning of paradigms, might not appeal to purists. But the point is it works. By the end of one year of study the students had a much firmer grasp of the language and could explain verbal forms with greater confidence than I had experienced before. Without exception every student in the class, of whatever ability, rated the book as excellent. When I taught an advanced class to students who had used another textbook at introductory level, several bought Basics of Biblical Hebrew to clarify points only partly mastered before. All agreed that the book is a model of clarity. The accompanying workbook gives numerous graded exercises. The accompanying CD could be more user-friendly. But it's not essential. The textbook and workbook stand by themselves. For teachers, however, the numerous overheads on the CD are a tremendous help for teaching a group in class. If you're not of an evangelical disposition, some of the exegetical observations at the end of chapters might irritate you - but these can be skipped over entirely. So, the CD aside, this is a five star textbook.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs down, 19 Jan 2007
By Meeper (Cambridgeshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basics of Biblical Hebrew Grammar (Hardcover)
If you are like me, and don't like lots of technical terms but want translations of what various persons etc in the noun, adverb, verb etc tables actually mean in English (of which there are very few), I am sorry to say this is not for you. I bought this and the workbook for a distance learning course and found them less than helpful. The CD that comes with it isn't that easy or intuitive to use either. In fact I haven't even used the workbook or CD that goes with it, and I really don't like the book at all, and avoid using it where possible to do my studies. If you like the sort of academic approach to languages with lots of linguistic terms that is rather cerebral rather than practical and down to earth, it might be ok for you. However if you are a person who say has learnt one European language, likes the current more practical learning style prevelant these days, and doesn't like the rather academic 1950 style of learning with copious linguistic jargonese, then don't bother with this book. It probably better for university students who are not distant learning rather than if you are trying to learn on your own, but even then I am not sure about it. In my opinion there are far better easier to understand and practical books out there to help you learn Hebrew.

3.0 out of 5 stars Learning Biblical Hebrew made easy, 5 Nov 2009
By P. Fraylich - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When having to deal with the grammar of any language there is a lot to learn before you can progress to understanding sufficient before you can start to translate even at a basic level. This book helps you to carry out the task in a smooth, logical stepwise manner as it explains the rules required to understanding in a clear manner. One of the greatest problems when learning another language if all you know is English is that there is a great need to understand, even on a superficial level, specific grammatical rules and this book clearly and simply explains them illustrating with relevant examples.

The one negative comment I can make is that at the end of each chapter there is a monograph on specific topics such as particular commentaries on specific phrases or, more importantly, articles on specific biblical translators/commentators all who are Protestants and the tone of these may be construed as offensive, especially if one is a Catholic.
