It is as much an art as it is a science—extraordinarily rewarding when done well, but difficult and problematic if done carelessly. For a text as important as the Bible, proper exegesis is vital—for interpretation, sermon preparation, and study.
Yet the history of biblical interpretation—and interpretation of the Old Testament in particular—is riddled with problematic exegesis. Laniak introduces readers to rich and accessible exegetical tools for understanding and interpreting the Old Testament. The Handbook for Hebrew Exegesis is unique in two ways. First, it leads you inductively into upper level Hebrew grammar and exegesis. Each chapter begins with a theoretical introduction to an exegetical method. This is followed by a step-by-step description of how to utilize the method.
Every chapter concludes with a bibliography of further exegetical resources. Throughout, Laniak helps readers toward richer and more rewarding exegesis. With Logos, every word is essentially a link. That means clicking on any Scripture reference brings you straight to the Hebrew text or your English translation, and double-clicking on any Hebrew word automatically searches your Hebrew lexicons for a match—instantly providing a wealth of linguistic and textual data.
That makes the Handbook for Hebrew Exegesis ideal for both English-only study and advanced Hebrew scholarship. Laniak served as a missionary in 15 countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, as the director of the International Fellowship House in Boston, and as a welfare housing manager for elderly immigrants in Brookline, MA. He launched the Urban Ministry Program at the Charlotte campus and directed it for eight years. Laniak has fostered a lifelong interest in the intersection of cultures and Scripture.
His publishing began with a social-scientific commentary, Shame and Honor in the Book of Esther. While researching, he was the annual professor at the Albright Institute for Archaeological Research in Jerusalem.
