Dr. Robert Thomas has written this very powerful introduction to exegesis. True biblical understanding and interpretation lies in solid biblical exegesis. This significant work goes to the very heart of the matter beginning with a very accurate meaning of biblical exegesis. Dr. Thomas takes the reader through a very systematic study of the grammatical-historical method. This book is highly recommended for any student of the Greek New Testament.

While secular critics and liberal religious scholars have discounted the historicity and integrity of the first three Gospels, evangelicals maintain that the Synoptic Gospels fully support a high view of inspiration and historicity, despite varying views among evangelicals on Gospel origins. Four evangelical scholars join together in a presentation/response format to examine the three dominant views on Gospel origins. Grant Osborne and Matthew Williams present the Two-Source or Markian Priority View; John H. Niemel presents the Two Gospel or Matthewan Priority View; and F. David Farnell presents the Independence View. Robert Thomas provides a helpful introduction to the issues and a final summary of the discussion.

"The authors examine dangerous trends that seem to be luring many . . . toward skeptical rationalism and theological liberalism." --John F. MacArthur Jr.

This detailed commentary on the Greek text takes some of the mystery out of the Bible's most confusing book. Here is a strong case of a 'premillennial' reading-the same view held by the earliest Christians.
