Aramaic Ezra and Daniel

Aramaic Ezra and Daniel is an excellent volume. The content of the volume far exceeds expectations for a 'handbook.' It is not only a helpful guide; it offers many fresh insights.

~Choong-Leong Seow, Distinguished Professor of Hebrew Bible, Vanderbilt University

A thorough introduction addresses the linguistic features of biblical Aramaic, with special attention to particularly challenging syntactical questions.

~The Bible Today

Aramaic Ezra and Daniel provides up-to-date, sophisticated linguistic analysis and explanation from one of the top scholars in the field….It is highly recommended for those teaching or taking graduate-level courses in Biblical Aramaic, those studying Ezra or Daniel, and those preaching these books who want access to the riches of the original Aramaic text, led by a capable guide.

~Books at a Glance

Because of the trenchant discussion of the Biblical Aramaic text provided by Cook in conversation with contemporary scholarship, and the interpretive results that emerge, this will prove to be a significant resource for future students of the Aramaic portions of Ezra and Daniel and will contribute to scholarly discussion of these books....highly recommended.
