The Ten Commandments: An Inductive Hebrew Grammar Focusing on the Ten Commandments
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Are the iconic Ten Commandments as relevant today as they were for the children of Israel when Moses delivered it to them? Gary Staats has given a solid overview of the Ten Commandments as he analyzes the Hebrew grammars of Exodus 20:1–17. Staats breaks down each verse of the Ten Commandments into a five-part description composed of the original Hebrew text, a vocabulary list, a grammar lesson, an English translation, and an application or interpretation of how the verse applies to Christian theology. Staats argues through his presentation that the Ten Commandments are as relevant for today as they were in Moses’ day.

I found the title of this book misleading and regret buying it. It is not 'an inductive Hebrew grammar' (in fact it is only 56 pages long). It is a grammatical analysis and commentary on seventeen verses in scripture. Yes, studying this way is inductive and I will work through it, but this book does not provide 'a Hebrew Grammar'. More fool me for not reading the description properly, but this is labelled in a misleading way.
