Product Description
Book Description
How do we know what words in the Bible mean? Why do translations of the Bible vary so much? What did the original text say, and can we know?
Many linguistic tools and methods are applied to biblical texts in order to gain meaning from them. In the past, scholars have not always taken into account the perspective of investigators, the presuppositions of the method used and the nature of the material to which it is applied.
In 'Linguistical Analysis of Biblical Hebrew' Sue Groom takes us through the pitfalls and limitations of the methods available, considering textual transmission, comparative philology, diachronic and dialectal variation, and the impact this has on the relationship between reader, author and text. Combining a critical account of long-established approaches to Hebrew meanings with a lucid introduction to newer and more recent methods such as lexical semantics and text-lingusitics, this substantial volume provides an in-depth linguistic analysis of biblical Hebrew.
