Number of pages: 236An up-to-date technical resource valuble for intermediate students. Holmstedt addresses a wide range of questions, with a strong focus on the connection between syntax and nuance of meaning. -Katherine Doob Sakenfeld, William Albright Eisenberger Professor of Old Testament, Princeton Theological SeminaryIn short, the author has given students a valuable step-by-step introduction to reading the text of the Hebrew Bible. -Bible Today, July 2010Rather than devote space to the type of theological and exegetical comments found in most commentaries, this series focuses on the Hebrew text and its related issues, syntactic and otherwise. The volumes serve as prequels to commentary proper, providing guides to understanding the linguistic characteristics of the texts from which the messages of the texts may then be derived. In addition to this, Ruth, the newest volume in the series, handbooks on Amos, Genesis 1-11, and Jonah are also now available.
