It may sound like the metaphor for a strange new animal, but what it creates is a fascinating dive into the Bible that's rarely, if ever, been attempted before in a devotional study. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHebrew versus Greek: A Devotional Study of Scripture Through Two Lenses\u003c\/i\u003e, Hebrew scholar Chaim Bentorah and Greek scholar Chris Palmer explore fifty concepts from the Septuagint (LXX) and explain the subtle nuances found in Hebrew and Greek. \u003cbr\u003e You will discover how: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bringing our traumas to speech through prayer can help heal our souls \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trusting in God binds us to His divine power \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Affliction invites us to walk intimately with the Lord \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saying, \"There is no God\" is like walking through fog \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The promise of \"long life\" can be understood even though people often die young \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Used by the early church, the Septuagint is the oldest translation of the Old Testament into another language: from Hebrew to Greek. It's considered to be the most important translation of the Bible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Palmer says, \"The Septuagint is underappreciated and underused in theological pursuits, especially in working with the biblical languages. This book breaks ground in that it uses the Septuagint for something as simple as a devotional Bible study.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bentorah adds, \"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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHebrew versus Greek \u003c\/i\u003ewill draw you nearer to the original text through simple devotional lessons that explore the rich meanings found in these ancient languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChaim Bentorah\u003c\/b\u003e teaches biblical Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to lay teachers and pastors in the metro Chicago area through Chaim Bentorah Ministries. He also speaks to church and parachurch groups about the nature and means of studying the Old Testament in the original Hebrew. \u003cbr\u003e Chaim and his study partner, Laura Bertone, write daily word studies on their blog at www.chaimbentorah.com. They are also the copastors of a cyber Messianic church through HebrewWordStudy.com, on which they conduct twelve-week classes in basic Hebrew, a weekly Monday evening Bible translation class, and a Sabbath Torah study on Saturday mornings that follows the Parshah (Weekly Torah Portion). \u003cbr\u003e Chaim has a bachelor of arts degree in Jewish Studies from Moody Bible Institute, a master's degree in Old Testament and Hebrew from Denver Seminary, and a PhD in Biblical Archaeology. In graduate school, he studied advanced Hebrew under Dr. Earl S. Kalland, who was on the executive committee for the translation work of the New International Version of the Bible. Professor Kalland encouraged him to seek out an orthodox rabbi and discuss the translation process from a Jewish perspective. \u003cbr\u003e Later, from his contact with Jewish rabbis and his studies in the Talmud, the Mishnah, and other works of Jewish literature, as well as his studies in the Semitic languages, Chaim began doing Hebrew word studies as devotionals and sending them out by e-mail to former students whom he had taught in his thirteen years as an instructor in Hebrew and Old Testament at World Harvest Bible College, as well as those he taught through Chaim Bentorah Ministries. After self-publishing several books of Hebrew word studies and related topics, Chaim published \u003ci\u003eHebrew Word Study: Revealing the Heart of God\u003c\/i\u003e with Whitaker House, followed by \u003ci\u003eJourney into Silence\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHebrew Word Study: Exploring the Mind of God\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e Chaim resides in a suburb of Chicago. \u003cbr\u003e * * * \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Palmer \u003c\/b\u003eis the dean of TheosU and Theos Seminary, a Greek scholar, a professor of theology, and the author of a number of books, including \u003ci\u003eWinks From Scripture: Understanding God's Subtle Work Among Us\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGreek Word Study: 90 Ancient Words That Unlock Scripture\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLetters from Jesus: Studies from the Seven Churches of Revelation\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eStrange Scriptures: Deciphering 52 Weird, Bizarre, and Curious Verses\u003c\/i\u003e from the New Testament. \u003cbr\u003e Chris earned a B.A. in Pastoral Studies from North Central University and an M.A. in Exegetical Theology, magna cum laude, from Moody Theological Seminary.
