Chaim Bentorah and Chris Palmer - Hebrew versus Greek A Devotional Study of Scripture Through Two Lenses

Post by Matthew Longhorn »

Not the usual sort of book I post, but interesting enough I think it warrants it

What do you get when you cross classical Hebrew with Koine Greek? It may sound like the metaphor for a strange new animal, but what it imparts is a fascinating dive into the Bible that’s rarely—if ever—been attempted before.

In Hebrew versus Greek: A Devotional Study of Scripture Through Two Lenses, Hebrew scholar Chaim Bentorah and Greek scholar Chris Palmer explore fifty concepts from the Septuagint or LXX and explain the subtle differences found in Hebrew and Greek.

You will discover how:

God’s repentance over creating man benefits us
Trusting in God binds us to His divine power
God’s command to “fear not” gives us the authority to be courageous
Saying there is no God is like walking through fog
God embraces us with His strength in the dance of life
The authors note that the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has convinced many Bible scholars of the accuracy of the Septuagint. “This offers a whole new dimension to our understanding of the Old Testament and the importance of using the Greek Septuagint to explain some difficult passages,” Chaim notes.

Hebrew versus Greek will draw you closer to the Lord through simple devotional lessons that explore the rich meanings found in these ancient languages
