In a homiletics book I recently read (Homiletical Plot), the author
sees Greek as very rigid. a language where words had definitions,
contrasted with Hebrew, a verb-based language where words were
descriptions. (he would thus favor a Semitic thought-process for his
craft.) How accurate is his observation in describing the languages?
Would any of you have anything to add by way of addition or critique?
Perhaps the question could better be asked, "What are the fundamental
differences between Greek and Hebrew as languages?"
If this is deemed off-topic, please respond off-list.
