Learning Biblical Hebrew does not need to give you an ulcer! In fact, it can be both fun and formative. This textbook introduces an approach that will help you learn an ancient language and have fun doing it. Biblical Hebrew: An Interactive Approach will help you learn the original language of the Old Testament with your whole person: body, mind, and spirit. You will...

+ Memorize and perform playful dialogues based on the book of Jonah in Hebrew;

+ Learn several passages from the Hebrew Bible by heart;

+ Encounter the biblical texts and the grammar through interactive drills and exercises;

+ Discover the deep connections between the grammar of Hebrew and the theology of the Hebrew Bible;

+ Involve your whole body in the learning process;

+ Learn how to pronounce all the letters and vowels, and how to read Hebrew.

The following pages will invite you on a journey into the strange new world of the Old Testament Scriptures. You are likely to discover along the way that the stories you have probably heard and read many times (Jonah, Genesis 1, The Binding of Isaac in Genesis 22) are more profound than you ever imagined they could be. Learning Biblical Hebrew will change the way you read the Bible forever, and Biblical Hebrew: An Interactive Approach will help you enjoy the process, and remember what you learned for years to come.

Industry Reviews

No one wanting to appreciate Beethoven's 9th symphony would ever just study the notes and never hear them played. The Hebrew textbooks I have used over the years, howeverGrandvillee the equivalent of just that. Students learn the grammar and vocabulary but never hear and speak the language. Professor West's new text-book, Biblical Hebrew: An Interactive Approach, will help them do both, and will foster in them a deeper appreciation of the Old Testament.

-Dr. Tom Boogaart, Dennis and Betty Voskuil Professor of Old Testament, Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI.

It's rare to find a textbook that you are eager to return to each week, but that is exactly what we have here. Not only does this volume provide the student with the necessary base for encountering the Bible, but it also often establishes a lifelong love for the Hebrew language. What makes this work unique is that it steeps the student in the biblical text, both grammatically and theologically, thereby providing the necessary connections needed for a unified and balanced approach to learning. This textbook understands and displays the deep beauty of the phrase, "grammar is theology." My seminary studies and my own faith have been enriched by this book and studying Hebrew has become a continual labor of love. I am convinced that Biblical Hebrew: An Interactive Approach is a necessary addition to the field of biblical languages.
