Here’s the review I’ve done on this book:
For years, Gordon Fee’s trustworthy New Testament Exegesis has been the college and seminary standard as an introductory guide to the topic. I believe we have a new standard with the phenomenal work of Richard Erickson. Although covering the same ground as most books of its kind, A Beginner’s Guide to New Testament Exegesis is extremely readable and well organized. From textual criticism, grammar, and discourse analysis, to historical backgrounds, genres, and preaching, Erickson meets us with a refreshing accessability and a light-hearted candor. As Don Hagner says in the endorsement on the back, do not be fooled by that fact that this is a user-friendly approach. This book is of the best quality in its orientation, instruction, and information. Perfect for use with any student of New Testament exegesis.
