What distinguishes the Baylor Handbooks on the Greek New Testament and Hebrew Old Testament (BHGNT and BHHB) from other available resources is the detailed and comprehensive attention paid to the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible.
Each Greek handbook provides a convenient reference tool that explains the syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, deals with text-critical questions that have a significant bearing on how the text is understood, and addresses questions relating to the Greek text that are frequently overlooked or ignored by standard commentaries, all in a succinct and accessible manner.
The Hebrew series focuses on the Hebrew text and its related issues, syntactic and otherwise, rather than devote space to the type of theological and exegetical comments found in most commentaries. The volumes serve as prequels to commentary proper, providing guides to understanding the linguistic characteristics of the texts from which the messages of the texts may then be derived.
