Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics (4 Vols.) and some available articles (updated february 06, 2014)

Here is one important contribution to the Hebrew Studies (and not only Old Testament): see here
In spite of its exorbitant price, in my sense it will become one of the main reference in its area of studies

 
Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics (4 Vols.)









General Editor: Geoffrey Khan Associate Editors: Shmuel Bolozky, Steven E. Fassberg, Gary A. Rendsburg, Aaron D. Rubin, Ora R. Schwarzwald, Tamar Zewi Advisory Board: Moshe Bar-Asher, Aharon Maman, Cynthia L. Miller-Naudé, Yael Reshef



The Hebrew language has one of the longest attested histories of any of the world’s languages, with records of its use from antiquity until modern times. Although it ceased to be a spoken language by the 2nd century C.E., Hebrew continued to be used and to develop in the form of a literary and liturgical language until its revival as a vernacular in the 20th century.

In a four volume set, complete with index, the Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics offers a systematic and comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the history and study of the Hebrew language from its earliest attested form to the present day. The encyclopedia contains overview articles that provide a readable synopsis of current knowledge of the major periods and varieties of the Hebrew language as well as thematically-organized entries which provide further information on individual topics, such as the Hebrew of various sources (texts, manuscripts, inscriptions, reading traditions), major grammatical features (phonology, morphology, and syntax), lexicon, script and paleography, theoretical linguistic approaches, and so forth. With over 950 entries and approximately 400 contributing scholars, the Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language and Linguistics is the authoritative reference work for students and researchers in the fields of Hebrew linguistics, general linguistics, Biblical studies, Hebrew and Jewish literature, and related fields.


The online version of the EHLL can be found here.

One of the best (if not the best) Webpage to find a free scholarly article

The website biblicalstudies.org.uk provides free resources for students of the Christian Bible. New additions to that site are noted on this Blog along with other relevant material. biblicalstudies.org.uk is part of the Theology on the Web ministry. For more information, including how you can support the work of making good theological material available free of charge, please visit theologyontheweb.org.uk


Purpose

To make high quality theological freely material available throughout the world, thus providing Bible teachers and pastors with the resources they need to spread the Gospel in their countries. This is achieved by:
  • Digitising and uploading in co-operation with authors and publishers, rare and out-of-print theology books and articles. Over 18,000 articles are now available for free download.
  • Providing detailed bibliographies for Seminary level students and ministers.
  • Providing a single cross-linked resource made up of seven websites, some of which are under development.

These are:

  1. BiblicalStudies.org.uk hosts over 18,000 full text theological articles linked into bibliographies on each book of the Bible. It also covers such subjects as hermeneutics, biblical languages, criticism, language, etc. - in short almost everything connected with the Bible and its study.
  2. TheologicalStudies.org.uk throws its net slightly wider, providing material on a range of theologies and theologians, as well as specific doctrines such as the Trinity, for example. The section on practical theology seeks to provide material on how theology is applied in daily life, in such areas as politics and ethics.
  3. EarlyChurch.org.uk covers church history until the rise of the medieval Papacy (c.600 AD).
  4. MedievalChurch.org.uk takes over where EarlyChurch.org.uk leaves off, covering church history from the rise of the Papacy to the time of the Reformation.
  5. ReformationChurch.org.uk - covers church history during and after the Reformation.
  6. BiblicalArchaeology.org.uk provides material relating to the archaeology of the lands of the Bible.

  7. Missiology.org.uk provides resources for students of Christian missions from the first Century onwards [currently under development].

Cross-linking of subjects mean that a student studying baptism (for example) would be able to move from the baptism of Jesus, to baptism in the early church, the medieval church and then to how it is understood by a range of modern theologians.

Webmaster

These sites were created by Rob Bradshaw, a graduate of Bangor University and Mattersey Hall Bible College. Rob is passionate about Christian theology and church history and about making resources freely available for those who want them. His aim is to eventually do this work full-time.
