Just before completing this issue we received a new book entitled Old Testament Words: Reflections for Preaching
(Chalice Press), written by Mary Donovan Turner (a professor at
Pacific School of Religion). Turner takes 38 Hebrew words from the
Old Testament and reflects on their meaning. She draws from both the
early Christian tradition as well as the rabinnical writings. The
book offers some interesting insights and observations on some
important Old Testament terms.
