Baker Publishing Group From Exegesis to Exposition – A Practical Guide to Using Biblical Hebrew
Many seminarians suspect that their courses in Hebrew have little relevance to their current and future ministry. Author Robert Chisholm believes otherwise, and in From Exegesis to Exposition, he shows seminarians and seminary-trained pastors how to "preach accurate, informative, and even exciting sermons that are solidly rooted in the Hebrew text and do not require an inordinate amount of time to prepare." According to Chisholm, too many seminary courses don't teach students how to make the transfer from parsing verbs to crafting relevant text-based sermons. This practical guide provides a comprehensive corrective, moving readers from the beginning stages of exegesis to the finished sermon. Designed as a textbook for a second-year Hebrew course, From Exegesis to Exposition * introduces students to the best language tools (including computer aids) * guides students in making text-critical decisions * discusses how to determine the precise meaning of Hebrew words and phrases and how to avoid common mistakes made in word studies * surveys Hebrew syntax and demonstrates the impact basic grammatical observations can have on exegesis * explains how a text's literary form and features influence interpretation * outlines and illustrates an interpretive method * includes numerous examples and exercises to guide readers through the exegetical process and give them an opportunity to develop their own skill * shows students how to construct an exposition from their exegetical work and includes several sample expositions Chisholm reminds pastors and seminarians that it is never too late to renew their commitment to the importance of using Hebrew in ministry, regain a knowledge of the essentials of the language, and learn how to use the Hebrew Bible effectively.

Baker Publishing Group Handbook on the Prophets
The prophetic books of the Bible contain some of the most difficult passages in the entire Old Testament. Veteran professor Robert Chisholm guides readers through the important and often complex writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the Minor Prophets, examining the content, structure, and theological message of each book. Rather than attempting to provide a detailed verse-by-verse commentary, this handbook focuses on the prevailing themes and central messages of the prophetic books. It considers how the message of the prophets would have been heard in their respective historical communities and considers the prophets' continuing importance for contemporary study. Now available in paperback.
