This page is a step by step guide to resources in New Testament Exegesis.
Resources.
The name of the book links to the site from which you can download it (usually www.archive.org but not always) so you should click on it. More significant resources have more links: read on-line (read directly the book), download as DJVU (which will link directly to the DJVU file) and download as PDF (which will link directly to the PDF file). We recommend the use of DJVU because the format is very light.
Method followed
We will follow the exegetical steps described in the book:
Fee, Gordon. New Testament Exegesis. A Handbook for Students and Pastors ( Read on-line or Review & Buy )
However we shall not follow absolutely the bibliography of Doctor Fee but we will add additional resources which make sense in the exegetical steps. Also the List follows a chronological not an alphabetical order of the books.
One must read general introductions to the New Testament here. For a list go to our New testament Survey & Introduction page where you will find more than 3 general introductions (surveys) and more than 5 special (book by book with dating, authorship and etc.).
The purpose of this step is you to identify the pericope. Find out what the logical limits of your passage are. This book will help you if you can find it (not available on-line):
Kelcy, Raymond C. Identifying The Pericope and Its Contexts.
Use a Greek New Testament to make an initial translation of the text for yourself.
Go to Novum Testamentum Graece page. We have compiled a large list of Greek New Testament texts available for download and put links to websites where you can find the Greek text on-line.
The texts for download are rather old so if you would like to use a newer one you should use an on-line text. The newest edition of Nestle-Aland's text is the 27-th but it is still not available on-line. The 26-th edition is free to use on-line on the sites provided here.
Go to The English Bible (if you are English speaking) or Theological Research Sites for Bible translations in other languages. Get as many translations as you can and compare them to see the differences and points of conflict.
