Praise for the Print Edition

Here’s the book that I wish I had been given—and from which I wish I had been instructed— when I was a student of Hebrew. Ministry students are frankly goal-oriented when it comes to language study. We want our language knowledge to directly and continually enable us to interpret God’s Word. Bill Fullilove’s Introduction to Hebrew never loses sight of this goal. I highly recommend it.

—Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City

“It is a joy to commend Bill Fullilove’s Introduction to Hebrew to present and future pastors and to serious readers of the Scripture. He has found ways to make the language so accessible and yet filled with such accuracy that many who thought Hebrew was beyond their reach will find it readily and comfortably right at hand.

—Walter C. Kaiser Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

From beginning to end, Fullilove keeps in mind that the ultimate goal of biblical languagelearning is to grasp the message of Scripture so that the text can master us. This is an exegetically oriented beginning Hebrew grammar. It sets itself apart by teaching not only what morphology and clause syntax are but how our knowledge of Hebrew helps us understand God’s Book. Fullilove gets students into the biblical text early and then uses creative paths to nurture discovery and to point forward toward application. The chapters are well structured and clear, and the overall work is highly creative. This is a guidebook that will motivate students to learn, so I joyfully recommend this grammar.

—Jason S. DeRouchie, Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology, Bethlehem College & Seminary; Coauthor, A Modern Grammar for Biblical Hebrew
