More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
"Hebrew for Biblical Interpretation" teaches elementary Hebrew with a specific focus on the tasks of biblical exegesis. This innovative textbook combines the features of a traditional grammar with exercises in reading and interpreting the Hebrew Bible. Grammatical descriptions are clear, concise, and systematic, and vocabulary is introduced in descending order of frequency. All words occurring more than 100 times in the Hebrew Bible are taught, and attention to grammatical indicators reduces the need for rote memorization of paradigms. The integration of grammar and exegesis helps to motivate students and makes the textbook well suited to seminary courses, while those who teach in university settings will find the textbook useful because the focus is on scholarly biblical exegesis, not theological interpretation. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)

GREAT AS AN ADDITIONAL GRAMMAR!
6 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
This Hebrew Grammar is not thorough enough to be used as an independent introductory Hebrew Grammar. I used Page Kelley's Introductory Hebrew Grammar along with the companion handbook to work independently. Kelley's grammar equipped me to skip Hebrew I and II at seminary. But reading Hebrew for Biblical Interpretation along with a solid grammar can be a rewarding exercise. One of the great things about the grammar is that it gives you more than morphology, phonolgy, and some syntax--it actually involves you in the exegetical process that scholars and students alike engage in. One is introduced to the sigla of the masoretic text. If one is looking for a manageable review this book is for you.

Excellent Introduction
27 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a good introduction to Biblical Hebrew, or alternatively, a good review for someone that has been away from the language for a while, and is returning. Its strongest point is that every other chapter involves some aspect of Biblical studies (and is not strictly about grammar). This provides a grounding in the language that conventional grammars do not have. Because of this, this book is a good spring board for further studies in Biblical Hebrew.
