Authored by Jeff A. Benner, the founder and administrator of the "Ancient Hebrew Research Center". This book contains complete lessons for learning the Hebrew alphabet and langauge based on the lessons available through the Ancient Hebrew Research Center Website. This book also contains many reference materials including a dictionary of common Hebrew words and roots.

Following the overall structure of the highly successful Basics of Biblical Greek, this course focuses on biblical Hebrew. With the help of an accompanying CD-ROM, this text emphasizes the structural pattern of the language and minimizes rote memorization.

If you are learning Hebrew, and you already know the alphabet, you need this book. It will explain word and sentence structure like no other book we have seen. Each chapter introduces a new concept and explains it with ease and great graphics. One of the objectives of the book is to teach how to read and understand the Jewish Sidur (prayerbook), the lessons are very useful for anyone learning to read Hebrew no matter the religious background. Audio tapes and flashcards associated with this book are available through the publisher but are not necessary to benefit from this book.
