Jonah : A Handbook on the Hebrew Text (Second edition)

In the Baylor Handbook on the Hebrew Bible's most widely used volume, Dennis Tucker provides a foundational analysis of the text of Jonah.

This second edition of Jonah is distinguished by the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Hebrew text.

Tucker's analysis is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Hebrew text that are not always addressed in standard commentaries.

Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key, Jonah also reflects the most up-to-date advances in scholarship on Hebrew grammar and linguistics - specifically, this edition relies on the methodology of generative grammar utilized in other recent volumes in this series.

This handbook proves itself an indispensable tool for anyone committed to a deep reading of the Hebrew biblical text.
