Product Description
Listening to the Language of the Bible is an introduction to rich Hebrew words and Jewish cultural concepts that greatly deepen Bible study. It is a guide for discovering the beauty of the Scriptures in their Hebraic setting. From seemingly odd phrases, it shares important insights that do not translate well from culture to culture. The book examines many topics from the perspective of the ancient Hebraic writers, including prayer, family and the promised Messiah. It also looks at the powerful sayings of Jesus in light of the Jewish culture of his time. The book contains more than 60 brief, illustrated devotional articles that unpack the meaning of a biblical word or phrase for our lives. It works well both for personal devotions or small group discussion. With many pages of references and indexes, it will be useful as a continuing reference for Bible study.

 This is a great start.... March 4, 2008

This book is a very good introduction to some of the more important and fundamental words and concepts of Biblical Hebrew. However, it is just an introduction and barely scratches the surface of the richness and depth of even the words presented.
I recommend this book to those who are interested in getting an introductory boost in their Biblical vocabulary or for learning more about the Hebrew Bible, in general. This would also make a great book for group study, especially with a knowledgeable teacher.
 Good Primer May 14, 2007

This is a good primer for learning the languages of the Bible. There are helps here that will be of use in a Sunday School Class as well as in the pulpit. We need a better understanding of the words use in Hebrew and the culture that surrounds them. I highly recommend this one but don't stop here.
