A selection of the Jewish Book Club
"There is certainly a need for a work of this nature, for there is no intermediate textbook for biblical Hebrew currently available. The book will be helpful in courses of biblical Hebrew and to students wishing to learn outside a classroom structure."—George M. Landes, Union Theological Seminary
"Readings in Biblical Hebrew fills a long standing void in the teaching of biblical Hebrew. . . . The authors help lay the foundation for a new generation of biblical scholarship."—Roger Jay Kaplan, Modern Language Journal
"This textbook fills a serious void, providing a good bridge from an introductory grammar class to actual biblical reading. . . . Those who invest their time in what this book has to offer will be richly rewarded."—Frederick E. Greenspan, Religious Studies Review
"This volume is highly recommended as a textbook for intermediate Hebrew or Hebrew reading courses. Those wishing to brush up on their Hebrew and move to a higher level of competence in reading and interpretation will find this book's inductive approach and workbook format user-friendly."—Robert B. Chisholm, Jr., Bibliotheca Sacra
"After a student has completed his introductory course on Hebrew, this could be a valuable tool to help him move on deeper into the language."—Mid-America Theological Journal
