This course used to come with Mark Futato grammar book Beginning Biblical Hebrew. But I can't find that book anywhere on the Logos website and I want to know why? I plan on doing HB101 with his grammar but not if you all pulled it I don't know if I can trust the grammar.

    I don't know if I can trust the grammar.

    Huh? I'm not sure I know what you mean. Every languages has multiple grammars based on the linguistic theory one is using. Grammar is an abstraction built from the usage ... some are more or less accurate at predicting usage ... is that what you mean? Or do you mean better at explaining anomalies? Or do you mean slides more easily into my current grammar knowledge?

    His Hebrew grammar is published by Eisenbrauns and they asked Logos to no longer sell their resources or they allowed the contract to expire.   Hopefully one day it will come back.

    Out of nowhere Faithlife pulled the grammar so naturally I have some concerns about it when that happens. But Ken said the publisher pulled everything from Faithlife. So that would explain it and now I have no reason not to use the grammar.

    Ah, now I see what you meant ... I'd have never gotten there, sorry. [:$]
