Fifty-four
short devotions based on passages from the Hebrew Bible--written by
some of the top biblical language scholars of today.
The main point of each meditation in Devotions on the Hebrew Bible comes
from a careful reading of the passage in the Hebrew Bible, not from an
English translation. The authors use a variety of exegetical approaches
in their devotions: grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical,
linguistic, etc. Some insights focus on particular words and their role
in the passage, while others highlight background studies or provide a
theological reading of the passage.
Each devotion
draws students into translating a short passage and pursuing an
understanding of why this or that insight matters for their lives and
ministries. Devotions on the Hebrew Bible encourages
professors, students, and pastors alike to keep reading and meditating
on the Hebrew Scriptures and find new treasures from the biblical text.
Celebrated contributors include:

Devotions on the Hebrew Bible contains
a devotion on every book in the Old Testament and can be used as a
weekly devotional or as a supplemental resource throughout a semester or
sequence of courses.
