  Exegetical Journeys In Biblical Hebrew

  $24.99

  Often students want to maintain their Biblical Hebrew when they’re between courses, or they want to return to reading the Hebrew Bible after some time away, but they don’t know where to start. This book provides ninety days of guided readings to help students retain or refresh their knowledge and grow their skill in reading and interpreting the Old Testament.

  H. H. Hardy II, an expert in Biblical Hebrew and an experienced teacher, guides readers through level-appropriate passages selected from across the Old Testament canon, encouraging them to read and investigate a few verses each day. The book begins with easy passages and gradually increases in difficulty throughout the 90 days. Each guided reading includes the Hebrew text, explanations of unfamiliar vocabulary and verb forms, and grammatical descriptions focused on exegesis. Each day ends with a “For the Journey” section, which reflects on important details and applications of the text.

  This follow-up to Hardy’s Exegetical Gems from Biblical Hebrew is ideal for Hebrew language students after their first year of study and for those who want to revive their knowledge and love of Biblical Hebrew. A companion volume for Greek is available.

  Additional Info
  Do you want to understand Jesus of Nazareth, his apostles, and the rise of early Christianity? Reading the Old Testament is not enough, writes Matthias Henze in this slender volume aimed at the student of the Bible. To understand the Jews of the Second Temple period, it’s essential to read what they wrote-and what Jesus and his followers might have read-beyond the Hebrew scriptures. Henze introduces the four-century gap between the Old and New Testaments and some of the writings produced during this period (different Old Testaments, the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls); discusses how these texts have been read from the Reformation to the present, emphasizing the importance of the discovery of Qumran; guides the student’s encounter with select texts from each collection; and then introduces key ideas found in specific New Testament texts that simply can’t be understood without these early Jewish “intertestamental” writings-the Messiah, angels and demons, the law, and the resurrection of the dead. Finally, he discusses the role of these writings in the “parting of the ways” between Judaism and Christianity. Mind the Gap broadens curious students’ perspectives on early Judaism and early Christianity and welcomes them to deeper study.

  Acknowledgments

  Notes

  Additional Info
  What was clear to the original readers of Scripture is not always clear to us. Because of the cultural distance between the biblical world and our contemporary setting, we often bring modern Western biases to the text. For example: When Western readers hear Paul exhorting women to “dress modestly,” we automatically think in terms of sexual modesty. But most women in that culture would never wear racy clothing. The context suggests that Paul is likely more concerned about economic modesty–that Christian women not flaunt their wealth through expensive clothes, braided hair and gold jewelry.Some readers might assume that Moses married “below himself” because his wife was a dark-skinned Cushite. Actually, Hebrews were the slave race, not the Cushites, who were highly respected. Aaron and Miriam probably thought Moses was being presumptuous by marrying “above himself.”Western individualism leads us to assume that Mary and Joseph traveled alone to Bethlehem. What went without saying was that they were likely accompanied by a large entourage of extended family. Biblical scholars Brandon O’Brien and Randy Richards shed light on the ways that Western readers often misunderstand the cultural dynamics of the Bible. They identify nine key areas where modern Westerners have significantly different assumptions about what might be going on in a text. Drawing on their own crosscultural experience in global mission, O’Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ.

  From Exegesis To Exposition

  $28.00

  Many seminarians suspect that their courses in Hebrew have little relevance to their current and future ministry. Author Robert Chisholm believes otherwise, and in From Exegesis to Exposition, he shows seminarians and seminary-trained pastors how to preach accurate, informative, and even exciting sermons that are solidly rooted in the Hebrew text and do not require an inordinate amount of time to prepare.

  According to Chisholm, too many seminary courses don’t teach students how to make the transfer from parsing verbs to crafting relevant text-based sermons. This practical guide provides a comprehensive corrective, moving readers from the beginning stages of exegesis to the finished sermon.

  Designed as a textbook for a second-year Hebrew course, From Exegesis to Exposition

  – introduces students to the best language tools (including computer aids)

  – guides students in making text-critical decisions

  – discusses how to determine the precise meaning of Hebrew words and phrases and how to avoid common mistakes made in word studies

  – surveys Hebrew syntax and demonstrates the impact basic grammatical observations can have on exegesis

  – explains how a text’s literary form and features influence interpretation

  – outlines and illustrates an interpretive method

  – includes numerous examples and exercises to guide readers through the exegetical process and give them an opportunity to develop their own skill

  – shows students how to construct an exposition from their exegetical work and includes several sample expositions

  Chisholm reminds pastors and seminarians that it is never too late to renew their commitment to the importance of using Hebrew in ministry, regain a knowledge of the essentials of the language, and learn how to use the Hebrew Bible effectively.
