Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Equips students with the necessary skills for engaging theological sources in German"

Every PhD student in theological and biblical studies is expected to read German, but there are surprisingly few resources to help students learn to read and translate scholarly theological works. This streamlined grammar and reader presents biblical passages and theological readings of gradually increasing difficulty. Suited for self-study or classroom use, it helps students to gain the proficiency needed for scholarly theological research.

"I wish this book had been available when I was beginning my own graduate studies. It is not too simple and not too complex; it doesn't begin either at square 1 or too far around the board. Those who work through it, including advanced students and veteran scholars, will not only enhance their own linguistic competence and confidence but get better acquainted with classic texts from Amos and Matthew through Luther and Calvin to Barth and Moltmann. The excellent pedagogy--with progress checks and answers in the back--makes the book helpful for both classroom and individual study."
--M. Eugene Boring, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University (emeritus)

"After many years in the classroom, Thompson offers her unique pedagogical expertise to anyone wanting to learn German for theological studies. Her focus on reading comprehension and discipline-specific vocabulary equips students with the necessary skills for engaging theological sources in German. This is the book I wish I'd had when learning German!"
--Heather Gorman, Johnson University

"For many years, Thompson has successfully taught theological German to master's-level students, inspiring them to learn the language and use it extensively in their own research. This book marks the flowering of her skillful teaching, thoughtful reading, and deep awareness of the real needs of students. Beginning with the German Bible and moving toward representative theological texts of several periods, this volume leads the student step-by-step toward competence in reading German theological literature with understanding and appreciation. Everything has been designed with the beginner in mind, but even those who read German often will find here an excellent refresher course. Highly recommended!"
--Mark W. Hamilton, Abilene Christian University
