The Invitation to Theological Studies Series (ITS) provides primary
textbooks for core seminary courses, including biblical Hebrew and
Greek, Old and New Testament introduction, biblical interpretation,
and preaching. ITS provides foundational works that are both
intellectually stimulating and spiritually nourishing.
Based on years of success in the classroom, Invitation to
Biblical Hebrew: A Beginning Grammar provides a clear and accurate
textbook for the beginning Hebrew student. It focuses on the basics
of phonology (sounds) and morphology (forms) so that the student is
able to learn the language by reason and rule rather than rote
memorization. The textbook also includes helpful discussions of
syntax with the ultimate goal of using Hebrew in ministry.
Special features of Invitation to Biblical Hebrew include a
sixteen-page color insert outlining morphological principles. Also
available are a companion workbook with drills, assignments, and
answer keys, and a companion set of six DVDs of Dr. Fuller's
classroom presentations.
"I had taken eight semesters of Hebrew courses in the standard
way that Hebrew is taught, and in two semesters of studying Hebrew
on Dr. Fuller's method I finally learned the language! . . . This
is the best way to learn the language, bar none!" --James M.
Hamilton Jr., Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"The textbook stands out on several levels. First, it is a truly
elementary Hebrew grammar. It focuses on only what the student
needs to know. Second, the grammar utilizes a totally deductive
approach. While some modern grammars promote the inductive approach
or some mixture of approaches, these authors deftly take students
back to the triedand true basics. Third, the true beauty of the
authors' method is in how after the students have truly mastered
the basic rules, they can then tear apart any Hebrew word and give
the reasons why every dot and dash is there, why it is not there,
or why the vowel has lengthened, reduced, etc. With this mastery,
the student's fear and trepidation about Hebrew melt away." --Eric
