Jonah eBook

In the Baylor Handbook on the Hebrew Bibles most widely used volume, Dennis Tucker provides a foundational analysis of the text of Jonah. This second edition of  Jonah is distinguished by the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Hebrew text. Tuckers analysis is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Hebrew text that are not always addressed in standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Jonah also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship on Hebrew grammar and linguistics--specifically, this edition relies on the methodology of generative grammar utilized in other recent volumes in this series. This handbook proves itself an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the Hebrew biblical text.
