Description

With the explosive increase in availability of English Bible translations, the question can easily be asked, "Why bother with the hard work of biblical exegesis?" Computers can translate foreign languages and our English texts can take us very close to the original meanings, so why exegete? Answer: because the deepest truths of the Bible are found through the deepest study. This book teaches the principles, methods, and fundamentals of exegeting the New Testament. It also has examples of show more textual exegesis that clearly and helpfully show the value of exegeting a text well. Any serious student of Scripture would benefit from utilizing this book in the study of the Bible. show less

To briefly conclude, if anything, this textbook provides more than what I can use to teach a high quality, college-level exegesis course, but I will use it selectively and am glad to have it. The editors should have probably required all of the writers to include the English translation of the Greek words, phrases, or verses being discussed and to put Greek in parentheses afterwards. This show more would facilitate students learning Greek exegesis-the goal of the volume-rather than leaving gaps in their understanding when they do not know Greek as comprehensively as their professors. show less
