Back Jacket
An absolutely superb textbook introducing Biblical Hebrew grammar. The grammar is crystal clear, paradoxically concise and copious, and most helpfully creative.--Bruce Waltke, Regent College
"The clear, simple presentation in each chapter, the consistent and early use of biblical examples in the exercises, and an approach that combines the best in modern linguistics with older philological traditions reveal a pedagogical art seldom seen. Ross provides copious helps to jump-start the student in reading narrative and offers intermediate-level information for the keen learner. I have used Ross's grammar with great success and highly recommend this text to others."--Peter J. Gentry, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Introducing Biblical Hebrew more than satisfies a one-year curriculum and may function especially well as a preparatory step for advanced studies. It is the best introductory volume available."--Ken Mathews, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
"Tested for years in the classroom, this is a welcome addition to our resources for teaching and learning Biblical Hebrew."--Richard E. Averbeck, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
