Review of Miles V. Van Pelt. Biblical Hebrew: A Compact Guide. 2nd ed. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2019.

Review of Biblical Literature, 2021

I have long been aware of the existence of the Biblical language teaching and learning materials that Miles Van Pelt has written or co-written for Zondervan. From the introductory Biblical Hebrew textbook to vocabulary cards, charts, a graded reader (co-written with Gary D. Pratico), and a comparative textbook of English and Hebrew grammar to a similar push into Biblical Aramaic, the Zondervan Language Basics series that Van Pelt has helped to create is impressive in both scope and presentation quality. Through the multiple editions, the works have achieved a pleasing aesthetic: the balance of the English and Hebrew fonts is attractive and easy on the eyes; the materials, binding, and sizes of the various volumes just seems right to the hand. I suspect that the authors are tempted, with some justification, to look at their fruits and say, "it is good." I applaud the clear commitment to teaching biblical languages, mastery of which remains the first step in serious biblical interpretation.

Hebrew Exegesis I

Anyone with a photocopy machine, scissors, and rubber cement can copy, cut, arrange, and paste quotations from sources and references in the form of a research paper. It takes an exegete to examine, evaluate, assimilate, and interact with the data in a coherent interpretative narrative employing only the most pertinent citations. The interpretative narrative should then be synthesized and applied theologically and pragmatically. When the seminarian's exegetical digests and papers reflect this approach, he has attained the goal of his education: he has become an exegete and an expositor of the Word of God.

Supplementation and the Study of the Hebrew Bible (Introduction)

Supplementation and the Study of the Hebrew Bible, 2018

This volume includes ten original essays that demonstrate clearly how common, varied, and significant the phenomenon of supplementation is in the Hebrew Bible. Essays examine instances of supplementation that function to aid pronunciation, fill in abbreviations, or clarify ambiguous syntax. They also consider more complex additions to and reworkings of particular lyrical, legal, prophetic, or narrative texts. Scholars also examine supplementation by the addition of an introduction, a conclusion, or an introductory and concluding framework to a particular lyrical, legal, prophetic, or narrative text. The volume represents a contribution to the further development of a panbiblical compositional perspective, with examples from Psalms, the pentateuchal narratives, the Deuteronomistic History, the Prophets, and legal texts.
