How to Read The Jewish Bible

We all love to read the Bible.  It is the most popular book of all time, with more copies of the Bible in people's homes and heads than all other books.  But there is one aspect of the Bible that we don't usually think about.  What did the Bible mean to the Jewish people at the time that it was given to them?

How did they feel about each book? How did they feel and react to the stories?

This is what this book, by Biblical Scholor Marc Zvi Brettler seeks to give us.

How to Read the Jewish Bible.

Each chapter is very interesting and gives us insight how to read each book of the Jewish Bible.   Here are a few of the Chapter titles: 
Chapter 1 "Reading as a Jew and a Scholar
Chapter 2 What is the Bible Anyway? 
Chapter 3 The Art of Reading the Bible.

I may not agree with all of his viewpoints, but this is the Jewish way,  we love to agree, and disagree.  

I teach Biblical Hebrew, and one of the books that I use is his Bibical Hebrew for Students of Modern Israeli Hebrew.  https://amzn.to/2LZxOZW  

So I use this book, How to Read the Jewish Bible as the text for students when we finish the first book.  

Whether you want to brush up on your Modern Israeli Hebrew, your Biblical Hebrew, or go even further with this book, contact me: Teacher Rachael
