About this title

Review

"This is the best teaching grammar of biblical Hebrew available today. It has no rival. . . . What sets this grammar apart is its exegetical focus, showing at every turn the relevance of the language for biblical interpretation. This is the ideal textbook for students in colleges and seminaries who are preparing for Christian ministry." -- Scott C. Jones "Professor of Biblical Studies, Covenant College"

"Fullilove has found ways to make the language so accessible and yet filled with such accuracy that many who thought Hebrew was beyond their reach will find it readily and comfortably right at hand." -- Walter C. Kaiser Jr. "President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"

"Bill Fullilove's mission is to make learning Biblical Hebrew as painless, productive, and pastorally relevant as it can be. . . . An invaluable resource. I highly recommend it." -- James N. Anderson "Academic Dean, Reformed Theological Seminary Global Campus"

"Here's the book I wish I had been given, and from which I wish I had been instructed, when I was a student of Hebrew." -- Timothy Keller "Founding Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church"

"An outstanding introduction to the language for beginning students. . . . deftly incorporating insights gleaned from the latest research." -- Ed Cook "Chairman of the Department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures, The Catholic University of America"

"Its combination of features will aid instructors in teaching their students and help students to sustain their motivation to study the language, two areas in which so many other grammars fail." -- C. A. Strine "Vice-Chancellor's Fellow and Lecturer in Hebrew Bible, University of Sheffield"
