The K. S. (King Solomon) Industries Theological Resource List Judeo-Christian theology is a complex study and an unending search for God s Truth. It is literally impossible to read all of the tomes given to the study, interpretation, commentary, and exegesis of God s Word. Throughout history, theologians have attempted to understand Scripture, as well as the writings of early church scholars, early Jewish scholars, and rabbinic sages. The books presented here are in Dr. Warren s personal library of over 750 Bible-related books and resources, researched and studied over the past 30 years. These selected few are merely a jot representation of the plethora of important works available for serious theological exploration of Scripture; but they are a fair representation of quality scholarship in their respective areas. You will see, that there is no specific doctrinal or denominational slant in the repertoire, and the books are not listed in any specific ranking, other than theological categories. No one is viewed as 100% wrong and no one is viewed as 100% correct. I sincerely believe we all have important pieces of the truth. The difficult task is separating the wheat from the chaff and finding His truth in the gifts given to these God-fearing scholars.

Williams Hebrew Syntax, Third Edition 3rd Edition by John C. Beckman (Author) Although the morphology and lexicon of Hebrew are reasonably well understood, its syntax has long been a neglected area of study. Syntax, the relationship of words to one another, forms, together with morphology, the material of grammar. Its relative importance varies according to the language considered. This is particularly true of word order, for when an inflected language loses its case endings, word order assumes many of the functions of the former cases. This outline by Professor Williams re-emphasizes the significance of word order in Hebrew. Developed over fifteen years in a formal course on Hebrew syntax at the University of Toronto, it treats the syntax of the noun, the verb, particles and clauses, with a selection of illustrative examples.

One of the major differences between the Modern Western mind and the Ancient Hebrew's is that their mind related all words and their meanings to a concrete concept KSI BIBLICAL HEBREW RESOURCES 6
