Fifty-four short devotions based on passages from the Hebrew Bible--written by some of the top biblical language scholars of today.
The main point of each meditation in
Devotions on the Hebrew Bible
comes from a careful reading of the passage in the Hebrew Bible, not from an English translation. The authors use a variety of exegetical approaches in their devotions: grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical, linguistic, etc. Some insights focus on particular words and their role in the passage, while others highlight background studies or provide a theological reading of the passage.
Each devotion draws students into translating a short passage and pursuing an understanding of why this or that insight matters for their lives and ministries.
encourages professors, students, and pastors alike to keep reading and meditating on the Hebrew Scriptures and find new treasures from the biblical text.
