What is exegesis? A thorough analysis of a Bible passage that yields a useful interpretation. Exegesis is a learned skill, not an intuitive gift. Hence, without the proper tools and know-how, an exegete cannot go far. What does Old Testament Exegesis do? It equips you with those tools and shows you how to use them so that you will not only become more skillful in exegesis but also more proficient.In my opinion, what OT Exegesis does best is teach you an “exegetical formula” which is repeatable and easy applied to any passage of Scripture for any context. It primes your mind so that you start asking the right questions. What results are meaningful answers that enable you to expound the text with clarity and precision. Beyond the technical aspects, some examples of the “right” questions relate to historical context (e.g., “What is the date of authorship and relevant geographical significance?), literary context (e.g., “What is the literary form? How does the passage fit into the book and the OT cannon?”), theological context (e.g., “Where else is the passage quoted? How? And how does that inform proper interpretation?”) and contemporary application (e.g., “What are the life issues? What is the audience and scope of the application?”).The book roughly speaking is divided into four sections: Chapter 1 gives you a non-technical format for the process of exegesis. Chapter 2 gives examples on the steps one takes to exegete. Chapter 3 expands upon Chapter 2 but has an emphasis on sermon preparation. Chapter 4 details various other resources for consideration.I purchased this book as part of a post-graduate level seminary course, and it fit well within this context. This is a trustworthy little book that has earned a place in my pastoral library for all time. Also highly recommended for dedicated Bible teachers.

    Refreshing and VERY Helpful
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2011*

Like having a lively study buddy when you analyze Scripture.  Helps you appreciate what your pastor must go through if you're blessed enough to have one who actually EXEGETES the Bible in Bible class, rather than give you canned garbage telling you what you already know.I just love this book:  it is clearly-written, succinct, well-organized, hits all the right questions so when you're thinking over something in Scripture, the succinctness helps jog your thinking. So do get this book, even if you're not a pastor.  You'll never regret it: Scripture is meant to be PONDERED over and in the original-languages text.  This book helps you do that, whether you're just a student, scholar, or teacher.It's as good as Thorleif Boman's Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek, which is my all-time favorite analytical book on Bible.  That's a recognized classic also, and I believe it's still here at Amazon, where I bought it years ago.BOTH of these books will help you think clearly when studying.  Worth a billion dollars.

    Good summary
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2018*

The author provides a very good summary of the procedure for performing exegesis, with respect to the Old Testament. He also gives some good examples of types of issues--textual, grammatical, and background--that the exegete may encounter. He provides his solution along with supporting evidence. Where this book really shines is the very thorough and detailed section laying out resources for further reading and research. This book is a great introduction for those wanting to get their feet wet that provides a great springboard for the student who wants to dive into the deep waters.
