R. K. HarrisonRezensionen

unctional and fun, each course offers full pronunciation guides, grammar summaries, dialogues, cultural notes, vocabulary charts, and irregular verb tables. Ideal for complete language study from comprehension, to speaking and writing skills, to understanding the culture.

Harrison spends most of his pages explaining the various contending viewpoints of the scholars (primarily German, British, and American) of the 19th and early 20th centuries, then demolishes all of them on two fronts: the many differing opinions on the dating and authorship can't all be correct; the current (1960s) archeological record doesn't support any of them.
He has a droll way of s them that I find very amusing.
He has little patience for their habits of emending the Hebrew, or even moving verses and chapters around, to support their contentions, and generally favors the traditional Masoretic Text (MT), with occasional nods to one or another codex of the Septuagint (LXX), while also acknowledging the Essene texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls.½

Unger's Bible Dictionary has been one of the bestselling Bible dictionaries on the market since its introduction in 1957. Now this time-honored classic is more valuable than ever. Updated and expanded by respected Bible authorities including R.K. Harrison, Howard F. Vos, and Cyril J. Barber, The New Unger's Bible Dictionary is packed with the most current scholarship. More than 67,000 entries are supplemented with detailed essays, colorful photography and maps, and dozens of charts and illustrations to enhance your understanding of God's Word. Although this volume is based on the New American Standard, extensive cross-referencing makes it useful with all major Bible translations, including the New International, King James, and New King James versions.

With the ancient Near East in a state of ferment and the nation of Judah experiencing a succession of political crises, God stationed a man on the scene to speak the divine word. Jeremiah was called by God to the unhappy task of telling an unheeding nation it was going to be judged and destroyed. Often he seemed to despair, yet he continued to utter God's truth fearlessly, leaving as part of his spiritual legacy a demonstration of a man's ability to make religious life an essentially personal relationship with God. The structural analysis of this commentary, along with the historical and cultural background it provides, opens up to modern readers one of the Old Testament's most fascinating books.

A good conservative commentary on Leviticus. The author accepts the inspiration of the work and its overall Mosaic authorship. Sound exegesis of the book overall. While some explanations are a bit helpful, they sometimes feel as if the reasons for the laws are being a bit forced. Christian applications are made, even if a bit forced. A good resource.

Reviewer: A reader

This book is a brave attempt to limit the task of learning a Semitic langauge to the bare essentials. How successful it is depends very much on the student. If you are happy to be faced with many tables to learn by rote then this is for you. If on the other hand you prefer to know why a thing should be so then the explanations given are both limited and surprisingly dense. Add to this the inevitable crop of typographical errors when setting pointed Hebrew and a page layout which seems to abhor white space and you have book which can be quite daunting to the student trying to teach themselves. If you have the time to spend and a background of language learning which has prepared you for the many grammatical terms and concepts to which the author refers you should get on fine. Having said all that, this is the best reasonably priced Hebrew grammar available.
