Book Synopsis

The Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament (EGGNT) closes the gap between the Greek text and the available lexical and grammatical tools, providing all the necessary information for greater understanding of the text. The series makes interpreting any given New Testament book easier, especially for those who are hard pressed for time but want to preach or teach with accuracy and authority.

Each volume begins with a brief introduction to the particular New Testament book, a basic outline, and a list of recommended commentaries. The body is devoted to paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis of the Greek text and includes homiletical helps and suggestions for further study. A comprehensive exegetical outline of the New Testament book completes each EGGNT volume.

Review Quotes

"We are in debt to Colin Kruse for his patient and meticulous study of the Greek text of Second Corinthians, which will be of inestimable value for those who teach from this epistle. Instead of trawling through many books, much of what is needed is here between the covers of one book. This is a remarkable achievement that will bless congregations for years to come. All praise for the vision of the series editors."
--Paul Barnett, lecturer emeritus, Moore Theological College

"The series design--providing grammatical analysis pertinent to interpretation and relevant further reading--is enacted in an exemplary way in this volume. The brief and accurate overviews of interpretive cruxes are particularly impressive. Any exegete who goes to this volume first will save themselves much time in finding and following the mountain of other works to be read."
--David Instone-Brewer, senior research fellow in Rabbinics and the New Testament, Tyndale House, Cambridge, UK

"Colin Kruse's volume on 2 Corinthians is a worthy addition to the Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament series. This series is notable for its attention to the details of the Greek text, making it especially valuable for students of Greek. Kruse's 2 Corinthians goes considerably beyond Greek details, however, providing a very useful guide to the meaning of the text. Because the commentary is relatively uncluttered with references to secondary sources, this interpretive guidance is easily followed. This volume should be used by anyone working with the Greek text of 2 Corinthians."
--Douglas Moo, Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies, Wheaton College, and chair, Committee on Bible Translation
