A syntax resource that's perfect for intermediate Hebrew students.

This Basics workbook introduces students to the principles and exegetical benefits of discourse analysis (text linguistics) when applied to biblical Hebrew prose and poetry.

Where standard Hebrew reference grammars have traditionally worked to describe the relationship between words and phrases within discrete clauses (micro syntax), discourse analysis works to describe those relationships that exist between clauses and texts (macro syntax).

The Basics of Biblical Hebrew Workbook gives the intermediate or second-year Hebrew student the tools to work with Hebrew syntax on the macro level. Professors and pastors working with Hebrew will also find this one-of-a-kind resource highly valuable.

The Bible and the Liturgy illuminates the vital and meaningful bond between Bible and liturgy, connecting Church past and present.

In the modern day, Christians accept Church rituals as sacred but baffling heirlooms from the Church's past. But these rituals are so much more than that. Father Daniélou delves into how the Church's liturgical rites and feasts are intended not only to transmit the grace of the sacraments but also to instruct the faithful in their meaning, as well as the meaning of the whole Christian life. It is through the sacraments in their role as signs that Christians learn. Daniélou helps readers rediscover the significance of these rites so that the sacraments may once again be thought of as the continuation of the great works of God in the Old Testament and the New.

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is known to be the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible. It is widely regarded as a reliable edition of the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures and is the most widely used original-language edition among scholars.

It is a revision of the third edition of the Biblia Hebraica edited by Rudolf Kittel, the first Bible to be based on the Leningrad Codex. The Leningrad Codex is the oldest complete Hebrew Bible still preserved. It originally appeared in installments, from 1968 to 1976, with the first one-volume edition in 1977; it has since been reprinted many times. The text is a nearly exact copy of the Masoretic Text as recorded in the Leningrad Codex. The Masoretic notes are completely revised. Included is a foreword in German, English, French, Spanish, and Latin as well as an English and German key to the Latin words, abbreviations, and other symbols in the critical apparatus.

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), 2020 Compact Hardcover Edition is identical in content to the standard edition (including the critical apparatus in Latin and the foreword in multiple languages); however, its size makes it exceptionally convenient for the student of Hebrew to carry and use.

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), 2020 Compact Hardcover Edition will be replacing the two compact editions that preceded it: the 2006 Compact Hardcover Edition and the 1997 Compact Paperback Edition. This new edition is priced between these two prior editions and will be appreciated for its greater affordability and sturdy construction.
