He may go on from here to point out that Hebrew thought is dealt with adequately by the antiquarians in the anthropology department or in the course in "primitive religions" which may pop up in any one of several departments.
The Hebrews likewise understood the corporate consciousness of the people or nation as a unity identical with itself at every "point." Because of this it is possible for a Hebrew to be contemporaneous with a past event in the life of his people which we would consider to be "historical"-behind us in time-and therefore non-repeatable.
Even though the Church is the heir of Hebrew thought in a crucially different sense than is Western culture in general, it bears the conscious burden of the Hebraic gap in our cultural self-understanding in a way that the modern university is either unable or unwilling to do.

 Trinity page IV: The Triune God in Hebrew Thought?
The Greek literally says "the logos became (transformed, turned into) flesh and pitched his tent among us." This refers to the tabernacle of God the dwelling place of God with humanity, and to the Greek conceptions of the soul, that the soul is in the body as a person dwells in a tent.
But this doesn't work because a plan is something formulated and set out, while logos means reason or thought more in the way that a thought is a message, or a spontaneous ongoing deliberation or reflection, logic itself.

Here the nuances of Hebrew prophecy are explored along with ways in which rabbis, Matthew the gospel writer, early Christian apologists, recent Christian teachers and even 1990’s journalists (Michael Drosnin, The Bible Code) have understood Hebrew’s use of the same symbols for both numbers and letters.

 Archaic Hebrew Thought on Time: How it Differs from our Thought & Understanding
Significantly, in Hebrew, the seat of intelligence was thought to reside in the ears.
In order to further help us understand what the ancient Hebrews thought of time, it helps to understand his thought processes of what the world is, which is always tied in with the creation.
Hebrew grammar has the capacity to reverse the two categories of timeby the use of the so-called "consecutive-conversive vav." So, the tense of the Perfect, which is commonly used for action of the past, is suddenly reversed, and points instead to a future event as at Jeremiah 32:44.

 Helpful Hints on Hebrew   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
For the Hebrew the action was complete or incomplete; time was almost irrelevant, and that is the way we have to learn to view the action.
Ancient Hebrew did possess various articles capable of expressing precise subordinate relationships (the conjunctions "in order that," or "but" occur, for example), but for the most part the simple "and" served to convey those ideas.
There is even some recent thinking that the Hebrew "and" is not a conjunction at all but simply a way of introducing the next idea --a "presentative" they call it--like the French "voile" ("behold!" or "here it is!").

On the other hand, until he compares both fields with the negation of thought in Buddhism, one is more aware of Boman's diligence in delineating the differences between the two rather than their similarities.
The importance of this fact when applied to the living God is evident, since God's Being is "being to effect," as we see at historical moments like that of the Exodus, and these in turn must bear a content with a promise for the future.
This "dynamism" is something unknown to the Greek mind, as Boman shows in a discussion of the Eleatic, Heraclitean, and Platonic schools, though the Hebrews shared the concept of the dynamic power of the Word with the whole ancient Near East.

Brad mentioned about greek and hebrew thought, and while this isn;t directly relavent, I dug up an old post of mine from last year on greek and hebrew thought.
The hebrew language and thought appears not to have allowed for humans or animals to be thought of as if in a frozen moment in time, much as we do, a single action.
The primary difference though between a verb such as ‘lighten’, and a hebrew verb/thought, is that ‘to lighten’ impllies a nessasary human action - in hebrew thought, to ‘be, become, grow’ - is as natural as anything on earth, and requires no human initiation or action.

This thought, however, does not emerge clearly from the translations and interpretations usually given for the third verse.
In most of the ancient and modern translations "the scepter of the wicked" is taken to represent the pagan domination, the domination of foreign peoples that weighs on Israel; and "the heritage of the just" is the Holy Land.
The Psalmist is thought to be preoccupied with the consideration that the faith of the good may be shaken if the evil tyranny long continues, or that faithless and base Israelites may make a pact with the enemy or learn to follow the iniquities of the oppressors.[13]

 Hebrew Language And Jewish Thought
This book proceeds from a view of the Hebrew language as the holy tongue; such a view of Hebrew is, indeed, a distinctively Jewish view as determined by the Jewish religious tradition.
Because language shapes thought and Hebrew is the foundational language of Jewish texts, this book explores the idea that Jewish thought is distinguished by concepts and categories rooted in Hebrew.
While the Hebrew language is central to the investigation, the reader need not have a knowledge of Hebrew in order to follow it.

 The Old Testament, Keystone of Human Culture
Rooted in the past as she was, intimately a part of the culture of the ancient world and heir of its thought, it is apparent at once that such wide divergence unavoidably implies bold and vigorous thinking, not by a few individuals, but by a long succession of them through the nation's history.
Whatever may be thought of this conclusion, at least here is philosophy in the full sense of the term, though certainly not in its full scope as we have come to know it.
The Hebrew thinkers, with a penetration that might have spared some later thought its worst blunders, recognized that the meaning of the world can be understood, if at all, only in the light of, and by inclusion of, human life, which is its highest expression.
