Great Overview of the Field,
By Jaroslav Melgr "jaroski" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biblical Exegesis (Revise (Paperback)
This is a great introduction to the discipline of BE. It has a lot of breadth to give a novice a good flavor of multiple facets of BE without going into too much depth and drowning one in technical terms and methodology. Very nice overview for beginners.
In the first chapter, the authors introduce the field itself, provide basic definitions and historical perspectives/evolution of the field. In the following chapters they discuss each of the major techniques or approaches to biblical criticism. Once again, the book isn't trying to be an in-depth, all-encompassing resource, it provides a very high level, but good overview of the field and each individual discipline. Most chapters have thorough and well organized bibliographies for further study of individual topics, which is very useful. Here are the titles of the chapters: 1 Introducing exegesis 2 Textual criticism (the quest for the original wording) 3 Historical criticism (the setting in time and space) 4 Grammatical criticism (the language of the text) 5 Literary criticism (the composition and rhetorical style of the text) 6 Form criticism (the genre and life setting of the text) 7 Tradition criticism (the stages behind the text) 8 Redaction criticism (the final viewpoint and theology) 9 Structuralist criticism (the universals in the text) 10 Canonical criticism (the sacred text of Synagogue and Church) 11 Integrating exegetical procedures 12 Employing the fruits of Biblical Exegesis

This Should Be on Every Bible Scholar's Shelf,
By
This review is from: Biblical Exegesis (Revise (Paperback)
Actually, this book probably IS on every Bible Scholar's shelf! At least it is on the shelf of most English speaking pastors and seminary graduates. As the name suggests, it offers a beginner's guide to the deeper side of Bible study. It describes a style of Bible study that will bring a clearer understanding of Scripture to anyone who can grasp it. And most people will be able to grasp it. The terms are not overly difficult.

Good Survey Of The Methods Of Critical Bible Study,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biblical Exegesis (Revise (Paperback)
Hayes and Holladay give a succinct yet thorough survey of exegesis and Biblical Exegesis in particular. Anyone wanting a basic understanding of the general approaches used in the scholarly study of the Bible will find this book useful. Those of us who want to study the Bible seriously need to have a basic understanding of how to know the words that were used in the original; how to work to understand what the words mean and how they were intended; and how to connect with the historicity and the history of the texts. Biblical Exegesis - A Beginner's Handbook is a fine introduction to these three processes and much more. Very much worth the read.
