In this episode of the Biblical Languages Podcast, Kevin Grasso interviews John Cook on the Biblical Hebrew verbal system.
John Cook (PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison) is a Professor of Old Testament and the Director of Hebrew Instruction at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is the author of several publications, including "Time and the Hebrew Verb: the Expression of Tense, Aspect, and Modality in Biblical Hebrew" (Eisenbrauns, 2012), "Beginning Biblical Hebrew: A Grammar and Illustrated Reader" (co-authored with Robert D. Holmstedt; Baker 2013), and "Intermediate Biblical Hebrew: A Grammar and Illustrated Reader" (co-authored with Robert D. Holmstedt; Baker forthcoming).
Here's a snapshot of what you can expect in this conversation:
- An overview of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system and key debates going on in the field
- How key linguistic categories like tense, aspect, and modality can help inform our understanding of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system
- An overview of Cook's analysis of the Biblical Hebrew system
- Why an understanding of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system matters for exegesis
