When I’m not teaching at Houston Baptist University, I’m privileged to serve at Founders Baptist Church in a variety of pastoral roles, one of which includes training our men for leadership and ministry. This fall I get to walk our men (and others who partner with us through TES) through Intermediate Hebrew on Thursday mornings.  Below are some links to the materials that we’re using.

Syllabus: Available in Populi

Dr. Marshall’s Ross Chapter Lectures: Click here to access my YouTube playlist.

If you’re not using these, then take notes in your own homework notes (whether hand-written or typed) be sure to parse any forms that you cannot parse by sight.

NOTE WELL: When you’re completing these workbook assignments, you should have several reference works *opened* and being consulted whenever Chisholm references them–Van Pelt/Pratico or Ross (depending on which intro grammar you used–note that I constantly make reference to Ross because that’s the grammar I teach from, so please made adjustments to VPP where applicable), Waltke-O’Connor (WO), Willams’ Hebrew Syntax (edited by Beckman, WHS) and one of the Hebrew lexicons: Holladay, HALOT, or BDB. (Feel free to use other more advanced grammars as you gain more skill.)
