Macdonald, George – Adela Cathcart Volume 1-3

Adelia Cathcart has an illness of the spirit — perhaps an illness of the soul. No one can scry the secret of her malady. Until someone notices Adelia seems for a moment to come back to life as someone tells a story.  We should read her stories, he says.

No one can diagnose the secret of her malady. Until someone notices, Adelia seems for a moment to come back to life as someone tells a story.  We should read her stories, he says. Beautiful, beautiful stories.  And these are the stories that bring Adelia back from her deathbed: stories like the tale of the Light Princess, the tale of a cursed girl like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty who weighs no more than a breeze. She has an illness of the spirit, too — an illness both like and unlike Adelia’s.

Brown-Driver-Briggs’s Hebrew Definitions

Brown-Driver-Briggs’s Hebrew Definitions

A trio of eminent Old Testament scholars—Francis Brown, R. Driver, and Charles Briggs—spent over twenty years researching, writing, and preparing The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon. Since it first appeared in the early part of the twentieth century, BDB has been considered the finest and most comprehensive Hebrew lexicon available to the English-speaking student. Based upon  the classic work of Wilhelm Gesenius, the “father of modern Hebrew lexicography,” BDB gives not only dictionary definitions for each word, but relates each word to its Old Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. BDB’s exhaustive coverage of Old Testament Hebrew words, as well as its unparalleled usage of cognate languages and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render BDB an invaluable resource for all students of the Bible.
