Opis

Learning Biblical Hebrew can be extremely difficult. Here at last is a book designed to work in conjunction with the many Hebrew Grammars available in order to break this complex language down into bite-size chunks for revision and consolidation of key aspects of grammar, as well as vocabulary.A.A. Macintosh and C.L. Engle combine insights from teaching Hebrew in both the United States and Europe, and between them bring some fifty years of experience of teaching Hebrew to undergraduate students to this clearly structured book.

Recenzje

The T&T Clark Hebrew Primer For Revision and Consolidation by A.A. Macintosh with C.L. Engle is a very welcome addition to the corpus of works which seek to instruct English speakers who already have a basic or rudimentary knowledge of Hebrew. It has been designed as a supplementary aid to solidify the intricacies of Hebrew grammar in the minds of students no matter what instructional Hebrew Grammar they have been using, and/or to resurrect Hebrew for those who have learned it in the past and who need help to bring it back again. The Primer is equally useful for English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic; for example, it gives correct Hebrew vowel pronunciations using both British English and American English examples. The Primer is clearly set out in a logical manner, moving from vowels to nouns and adjectives to strong and weak verbs, and includes a vocabulary of the most commonly occurring words in the Hebrew Bible. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who is interested in brushing up on their biblical Hebrew. Judith Hadley, Villanova University, USA
