Over 15 years in the making, an unprecedented one-volume reference work. Many of today's students and teachers of literature, lacking a familiarity with the Bible, are largely ignorant of how Biblical tradition has influenced and infused English literature through the centuries. An invaluable research tool. Contains nearly 800 encyclopedic articles written by a distinguished international roster of 190 contributors. Three detailed annotated bibliographies. Cross-references throughout.

Intended for students and busy pastors, this book addresses the needs of readers struggling with any textual portion of Hebrew Old Testament scripture for a quick and handy reference. The word entries (the actual Hebrew Old Testament vocabulary) are directly taken from the Hebrew text of the Leningrad Codex and linked to the English word definitions and other essential information based on Strong’s renowned Hebrew-English lexicon. To be used in conjunction with the Hebrew Old Testament (Tanakh) edition (ISBN 978-3-95935-372-4) and the Word Concordance of the Hebrew Old Testament (ISBN 978-3-95935-362-5) by the same editor.

This work is a simplified introductory grammar of Biblical Hebrew based on the inductive study of selected chapters from the Hebrew Bible: Genesis 22, Genesis 12, Deuteronomy 5, Joshua 24, II Samuel 11-12, Genesis 1, Jeremiah 1, and Psalm 51.

This volume, which constitutes the third in the series Jewish Research Literature, is divided into two parts. Part One offers detailed descriptions of the various Judaic dictionaries with biographical information on their compilers, beginning with Rav Saadiah Gaon's early tenth-century Egron and concluding with modern dictionaries compiled in recent years. Bibliographical lists and summaries, arranged chronologically according to date of publication, supplement the text. The narrative is written in nontechnical style, but technical information appears in the footnotes. Part Two, which deals with concordances, citation collections, proverbs, and folk sayings, will appear separately.
