Reviews / Votes
In this textbook, designed to teach students to read biblical Hebrew prose with competence by the end of a twosemester course, all Hebrew is taken directly from the Bible. Each of fiftyfive lessons is built around a biblical verse or segment that generates the grammatical concepts to be taught. The book also includes vocabulary lists, an extensive glossary, verb charts, and an index. A sixtyminute audio cassette to accompany the book is also available. "This is a meticulously thought out textbook that makes great demands upon students; but the end result should be an unusually strong introductory knowledge of biblical Hebrew."-Newsletter of the Association for the Development of Religious Information Services (ADRIS Newsletter) "The second edition of Biblical Hebrew is wonderful. I have incorporated the CDs into my classroom experience with astounding success and reception by the students. It is a great product."-H. Wayne Ballard, Jr., Carson-Newman College -- H.
