This is a must have book to any Christian that wants to understand better the Word of God. With an amazing simplicity the authors explain the significance of some key Hebrew words used in the scriptures, that at the end have a deeper cultural meaning than the simple translation to a single English word. After reading their explanation for many different verses, things get so clear that the next time you read the Bible, it will not be in black and white, but you will be reading in colors!
I really recommend this book to the permanent library of all Christian readers that are willing to improve their knowledge on the Scriptures.

NO OF PAGES: 174 SUB CAT I: Hebraic Thought SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Listening to the Language of the Bible is a guide for discovering the richness of the Scriptures in their Hebraic setting. Using the tools of language and culture, it unearths beautiful nuggets of new meaning from the Bible's ancient words. From seemingly odd phrases, it shares rich insights that do not translate well from culture to culture. The book examines many topics from the perspective of the ancient writers, including prayer, family and the promised Messiah. It also looks at the powerful sayings of Jesus in light of the Jewish culture of his time.
The book contains more than 60 brief, illustrated articles that unpack the meaning of a biblical word or phrase for our lives. It is intended both for personal reflection or small group discussion. With more than 20 pages of references, along with topical and scripture indexes, it will be useful as a continuing reference for Bible study.NOTES: Purchased online from Amazon.com.
