Using Biblical Hebrew in Ministry: A Practical Guide for Pastors, Seminarians and Bible Students

Description

This book is a beginner’s guide to biblical Hebrew. It serves as a tool for ministers and ministers-in-training who want to become more effective preachers and instructors. The book’s uniqueness is in its tool-based approach; it includes a list of abbreviations of Biblical Books and an appendix of the basics of Hebrew. The lesson in Hebrew is practical; the author first answers basic questions about biblical Hebrew and then takes the reader through a series of analyses that discuss learning the language ― from words, to figures of speech, to Hebrew writing – both narrative and poetry, and finally, to broader issues of culture and communication. Using Biblical Hebrew in Ministry is an excellent and resourceful text for ministers, as well as Seminaries and Bible colleges that offer courses such as “Biblical Hebrew for English Speakers,” “Using Biblical Resource Tools,” Biblical Hebrew, and Hebrew exegesis.
