Intermediate Biblical Hebrew: An Illustrated Grammar Paperback -

by John A. Cook; Robert D. Holmstedt


From the publisher

This full-color, intermediate textbook by two leading experts in Biblical Hebrew continues the innovative pedagogy found in their Beginning Biblical Hebrew. The book features integrated examples and lessons, pedagogical advancements that enhance student outcomes, and full-color illustrated readings from the Elijah narrative. The material has been field tested by the authors, who not only teach Hebrew but are actively engaged in scholarly discussions about Hebrew language and instruction. Additional resources for professors and students are available through Textbook eSources. Beginning Biblical Hebrew and Intermediate Biblical Hebrew are also available together as a two-volume set.

From the rear cover

"A true intermediate teaching grammar"

"Cook and Holmstedt have produced a true intermediate teaching grammar that presents challenging concepts in a clear and engaging format. The authors are working on the cutting edge of linguistic approaches to Biblical Hebrew, but they have also given careful thought to the classroom experience, effective strategies for retention, and making learning enjoyable. This text is a welcome and recommended sequel to the authors' successful Beginning Biblical Hebrew."
--Eric J. Tully, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Cook and Holmstedt's new intermediate grammar accomplishes a number of aims seamlessly: it makes second-year Hebrew immensely enjoyable at multiple levels, including the visual; it impels students toward a more modern, linguistically sophisticated approach to the language than classical grammars offer; it opens up resources in the Jewish tradition; and it readies students to plunge into the deeper intricacies of Hebrew linguistics. Instructors will welcome its breadth and inductive approach; students will recognize their holistic comprehension after working through the grammar. It will prove an excellent tool for the twenty-first century."
--David Vanderhooft, Boston College

"The lively illustrated text of the Elijah narrative invites a focus on comprehension, and bonus full-color images of the Aleppo Codex add to the visual feast. Each lesson refreshes and expands understanding of grammatical issues arising from the text, with the option of using communicative pedagogy. A winner for an engaging intermediate class or for fruitful self-study."
--Jill Firth, Ridley College, Melbourne

"Intermediate Biblical Hebrew fills a real need. The authors delve into areas not frequently covered in grammar books, including syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The process of learning forms and paradigms is simply not enough to allow students to advance to a deeper appreciation of the biblical text. Cook and Holmstedt pave new ground with this book, which will serve intermediate students--and, I hasten to add, advanced students as well--as they pursue the delight of reading the Bible in the original."
--Gary A. Rendsburg, Rutgers University

"Cook and Holmstedt deliver an exciting intermediate grammar that engages the senses and proves that learning a dead language does not have to be a lifeless prerequisite to further studies. Students will come away with a genuine love of the language and an ability to use it effectively."
--Julie C. Möller, Grove City College

"Cook and Holmstedt are two of the most linguistically sophisticated scholars working in Biblical Hebrew today. In this book, they show that they are also among the most pedagogically sophisticated. With the vibrant illustrations of Philip Williams, students will enjoy the process of working through the Elijah narrative so much they may not even realize how much they are learning."
--Aaron J. Koller, Yeshiva University

"Delightful and engaging, Intermediate Biblical Hebrew fills the need for a second-year or intermediate-level Hebrew textbook, a stage of Hebrew pedagogy that has been strangely neglected till now. A joy to read and use, it will be a favorite of instructors and students alike!"
--John Bergsma, Franciscan University of Steubenville; coauthor of A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: Old Testament

"I have used Cook and Holmstedt's Beginning Biblical Hebrew for several years now in a variety of contexts and with students who range from age seven to seventy. I am therefore delighted to see that Intermediate Biblical Hebrew extends the same program for more-advanced students. The approach continues to offer a singular combination of textually immersive pedagogy, first-rate linguistic scholarship, and dynamic reading exercises that help make study fun. This intermediate textbook will find a welcome place in my cycle of teaching."
--Daniel R. Driver, Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia
