Macintosh with C.L. Engle is a very welcome addition to the corpus of  works which seek to instruct English speakers who already have a basic  or rudimentary knowledge of Hebrew. It has been designed as a  supplementary aid to solidify the intricacies of Hebrew grammar in the  minds of students no matter what instructional Hebrew Grammar they have  been using, and\/or to resurrect Hebrew for those who have learned it in  the past and who need help to bring it back again. The Primer is equally  useful for English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic; for example,  it gives correct Hebrew vowel pronunciations using both British English  and American English examples. The Primer is clearly set out in a  logical manner, moving from vowels to nouns and adjectives to strong and  weak verbs, and includes a vocabulary of the most commonly occurring  words in the Hebrew Bible. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who  is interested in brushing up on their biblical Hebrew. * Judith Hadley, Villanova University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eor the beginning student this primer provides an excellent didactic aid  with the central principles of Hebrew grammar and the basic biblical  vocabulary and for  the more advanced student it serves as an effective  tool in rehearsing these areas.  It is a pleasure to use the book, even  to read it in one breath, as it includes modern parallels, helpful  tables, memory aids, and mnemonics and is written in a attractive style.  The two experienced University teachers who wrote this book have placed   students of Hebrew in their debt. * Emanuel Tov, Hebrew University, Jerusalem *\u003cbr\u003eHow quickly Hebrew, once learnt, can be forgotten; and how often do  students regret it later on when they realize how valuable it is for  understanding the Bible.  Now at last we have a concise but clear Primer  to trace the pathway back to a working knowledge of the language.  And  all this from the hands of experienced teachers who know how to spice  the text with enlivening features which they have discovered help the  difficult bits to 'stick'. The approach has been successfully tested  privately over many years; how fortunate we are that now they have put  it into the hands of every willing student. * H. G. M. Williamson, University of Oxford, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThere are many students and teachers of the Old Testament\/Hebrew Bible  who should welcome this Primer by Macintosh and Engle. It summarizes the  basic features of Biblical Hebrew grammar in convenient form, adding  simple explanations, occasional mnemonics, and sidelights that will  connect with information that the user already possesses (e.g., Hebrew  [or sometimes Arabic] names; well-known terms in modern Hebrew). This  compact presentation will prove ideal as a DIY refresher course for all  those whose grasp of the basics needs strengthening. * Robert Gordon, University of Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
