the Publisher Exciting approaches to biblical interpretation are introduced in this volume by contributors who have already distinguished themselves as leaders in the field of New Testament studies. Each chapter introduces a particular approach to New Testament interpretation and demonstrates how that approach can be used by students and pastors in fruitful work with the New Testament. Five texts from different parts of the New Testament are used as sample texts throughout the book in order to facilitate understanding of the differences among the interpretive strategies. From the Critics From Religious Studies Review Highly recommended for supplementary reading in NT classes. Its general accuracy, moderation, freedom from bias, and concision are a welcome respite from a current, confusing, all-too-prevalent blizzard of paper or bytes. From Interpretation "A sophisticated introduction to the complex task of interpreting New Testament texts.... This volume is beautifully written and edited, deceptively sophisticated, and uncommonly rich in insights into biblical interpretation. Scholars and students alike will find this work an invaluable resource in learning and assessing the ways of contemporary scholars as they attempt to discern the fullest depth of meaning in the New Testament." From Catholic Biblical Quarterly "The articles are generally very well conceived and written.... Most of the essays contain current, annotated, and very helpful suggestions for further reading. This is one of the more valuable features of the collection for those who want to pursue a particular method or strategy beyond the introduction provided here." From Journal for the Study of the New Testament A clear and accessible place to begin and good suggestion about how one might proceed. From Ashland Theological Journal "Guides to exegesis and exegetical methods have certainly proliferated in the last decade, but it will be much harder to offer another after Joel Green's fine volume.... An excellent exposure to the spectrum of exegetical methods and ideological criticism, easily the best on the market today." Table of Contents
