Endorsements

“Conversationally engaging; literarily transparent; materially comprehensive; pedagogically superb; academically sound, precise, and informed—all this and more. In over fifty-two years of teaching in the classrooms of higher education, I have seen nothing comparable to this magnificent work by DeRouchie—destined to be the classic in its field.”
Eugene H. Merrill, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

“I recommend this book if you have a wanderlust for exploring ancient treasures. There are many, and they are great. DeRouchie will show you how to find them.”
John Piper, Founder and Teacher, Desiring God

“This is an exceedingly practical guide that will truly help every minister of the Word understand and apply the New Testament. Naselli has a knack for explaining the principles well and then clarifying them with helpful examples. How I wish every pastor and teacher of the Word would absorb and practice the contents of this book. The church would thrive and grow with the kind of solid preaching that this would produce.”
Clinton E. Arnold, Dean and Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University; Member, ESV Translation Oversight Committee

“Any introduction to New Testament exegesis must strive to accomplish three goals: it must be succinct, it must be readable, and it must be up to date. Andy Naselli’s book not only meets but surpasses these goals. Each of the twelve steps of exegesis is carefully introduced and amply illustrated. In addition, students will appreciate the annotated ‘Resources for Further Study’ section that concludes each chapter. The Spirit is fully able to speak through the Scriptures to us today, and this excellent resource will surely help us to hear his voice with greater clarity and accuracy. I cannot recommend Andy’s book enthusiastically enough.”
David Alan Black, Dr. M. O. Owens Jr. Chair of New Testament Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; New Testament Editor, International Standard Version

“Naselli’s book on how to do exegesis is an outstanding resource. It is wonderfully clear and accessible and hence interesting to read. At the same time, it is packed with information so that readers are instructed in the art of interpretation. There are many resources out there on how to interpret the Scriptures, but this is surely one of the best.”
Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Cochair, CSB Translation Oversight Committee
