5.0 out of 5 stars In All Honesty!, November 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learning to Read Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar (Hardcover)
In all honesty this book is under-advertised and under-priced.. This is a 'valuable' resource for those who are really wanting to learn Biblical Hebrew. It is my favorite and I'm using it in conjunction with the book Basics of Biblical Hebrew by Gary D Practico. I recommend this book highly. It has an unbelievable structure and great vocabulary. If I could give 10 Stars, I would. God's blessing on the Author. Thank you for making such a powerful tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Biblical Hebrew, October 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learning to Read Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar (Hardcover)
This is a great book for learning biblical Hebrew, both for the advanced undergraduate and for the graduate student. It offers a comprehensive but concise cover of biblical Hebrew (with vowel pointings). Easy to understand, this book will have you translating the original text (with a lexicon of course) in very little time. The problems at the end of each chapter, along with the vocabulary, will give you a solid foundation and basic understanding of biblical Hebrew. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, June 23, 2009
This review is from: Learning to Read Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar (Hardcover)
This grammar presents the basics of the Hebrew language in a digestible and clear manner. It is ideally suited for the classroom but could be used by individual learners as well. Complete with practice exercises and concise explanations, the author translates his knowledge and passion for Hebrew into a readable grammar that could easily become new standard for texts used in Hebrew language courses.
