About the Book

English Grammar to Ace Biblical Hebrew by Miles Van Pelt--- a companion to English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek by Samuel Lamerson---enables students of biblical Hebrew to grasp the basic concepts of English grammar that are needed in order to be able to transfer these concepts to biblical Hebrew.

Book Synopsis

Enables students of biblical Hebrew to grasp the basic concepts of English grammar so that they can transfer those concepts to Hebrew.

One of the biggest hurdles students encounter while learning biblical languages is that they've forgotten the English grammar and terminology they were taught a long time ago (if they were taught it at all). Concepts like verb tense and voice, relative pronouns, antecedents, and adjectival substantives, may sound like familiar terms but seem foreign when it's time to put them into practice.

English Grammar to Ace Biblical Hebrew reacquaints students and ministry leaders alike with the necessary English grammar in this concise and easy-to-read format, which includes:

• Chapter-end exercises.
• Tips for studying Hebrew.
• A glossary of terms.
• A list of additional Hebrew resources for further learning.

Exhaustive in scope, this is also a great resource to grab for specific reference points so you can spend time focusing on learning Hebrew and applying your learning to exegesis and biblical study.

This book is a companion to English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek by Samuel Lamerson.

From the Back Cover

English Grammar to Ace Biblical Hebrew enables students of biblical Hebrew to grasp the basic concepts of English grammar that are needed in order to be able to transfer these concepts to biblical Hebrew. One of the biggest problems students encounter learning biblical languages, especially Hebrew, is that they have either forgotten or simply do not know their English grammar.

With chapters such as, 'To Be or Not To Be, that is the Infinitive' and 'Pronouns: Grammatical Stunt Doubles, ' this book is both clever and engaging. All Hebrew students will become better translators---and ultimately better pastors and leaders---with the help of this book. Tips for studying Hebrew, a glossary, and a list of additional Hebrew resources is also provided. This book is a companion to English Grammar to Ace New Testament Greek by Samuel Lamerson.
