Good but not quite what I expected, Feb 13 2007

This review is from: Graded Reader Of Biblical Hebrew (Paperback)
I like the idea behind this book, but I had a bit different expectations -- probably a misunderstanding on my part. I was expecting that this would be structured around broader syntactical rules and principles (obviously not as detailed as Arnold/Choi and certainly not Waltke/O'Connor), followed by reading examples to illustrate the principles. Instead the structure of the book is quite the opposite -- it is a series of reading passages, each of which is followed by explanation or discussion of each word (form, parsing, etc.) in passage. It is up to the reader to connect all the different instances and passages that illustrate this or that syntactical rule. With this understanding of the book, its structure and objective, I would say it's well done.Although it's not what I initially thought it would be, I would still recommend it as a useful resource. The authors selected interesting passages from all over the OT and the explanation behind each passage is certainly helpful. The back of the book also includes an answer key to the parsing exercises. See the following list of passages covered in this book:

Profoundly Valuable, Jan 12 2012

This review is from: Graded Reader Of Biblical Hebrew (Paperback)
For years I have struggle to start working with the Hebrew Old Testament.Even with a reader's dictionary and an inter-linear I come across word morphology
that seems anomalous and I get stuck.
With the Graded Reader, I have Profs. Van Pelt and Pratico standing by right
there to tell me "Yeah that word does seem strange, but the reason
there is a qamets there instead of a patach is.......
And then I keep reading! I end up pondering the text of the Bible and
not pondering about why a qamets is there.
All the while I am learning inductively what staring at a verb chart hasn't taught me.
The Hebrew font in this volume is large, and there are no cantilation marks
resulting in a blessedly easy to read page.
(Just to be clear, the Hebrew vowel points are there, the cantilation marks are not)
... a wonderful work...
