Hebrew Bible Reference Collection (4 vols.)
Overview
The Jewish Publication Society started in 1888 as a way to provide the children of Jewish immigrants to the United States books about their heritage in the language of the New World. Since that time JPS has issued works for all tastes and needs; providing works for young readers, religious and philosophical studies, translations of scholarly and popular classics—and, of course, the famous JPS TANAKH.
In keeping with this great tradition, we present the Hebrew Bible Reference Collection (4 vols.) from JPS. These four well-researched and illuminating studies are an asset to anyone looking to delve deeper into the Hebrew Bible and to see it through the eyes of its original audience. In this collection you will find essays on Hebraic exegesis, tools for bible study, bible commentary, a view of Judaic commentaries and interpretation over time, and a comprehensive biographical dictionary of the entire Hebrew Scriptures.
The Hebrew Bible Reference Collection (4 Vols.) is a fantastic resource to, not only familiarize yourself with the Hebrew Bible, but to gain insights and understanding from a Jewish point of view. Not only do you get wonderful insights and tools to aid you in your Hebrew Bible studies but you get a revealing look into the ways that Hebraic exegesis has evolved, a glimpse into some of the challenges in translating the Hebrew Bible, and a comparison of many different translations.
With your Logos Bible Software, the entire Hebrew Bible Reference Collection (4 Vols.) set is fully searchable and easily accessible. Scripture references are linked to your favorite English translations and original Hebrew Scripture texts, and important theological concepts are linked to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and the wealth of resources in your digital library.
