Title: A Condensed Introduction to the Hebrew and Christian Canon
Review: Julio C. Trebolle Barberra's translation work at hand is currently a condensed material of various disciplines in the study of the Hebrew and Christian bible. Ranging from textual and linguistic discussions, finally setting the last chapter to the study of hermeneutics, the book draws the rich and vast biblical disciplines that is often underestimated by an uninitiated readers.Despite the dated work itself, the book in review provides sufficient foundational studies for any readers whose interest to pursue Biblical studies, references and materials related to both the Hebrew and the Christian scriptures and interpretation. I recommend any readers, despite a Muslim myself, to learn the knowledge based on a pure academic scholarship, not simply on speculative or polemic discourse, a trap hole often fell to not just co-religion or non-religionists, but in fact for any academic disciplines.
Is the review positive or negative?
