New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors

A handbook for students and pastors on the method of New Testament exegesis, first published by Westminster Press in 1983 and revised in later editions. Fee sets out the steps of interpreting a passage: establishing the text, translating, analysing grammar and vocabulary, studying the historical and literary context, and consulting secondary literature, with guidance on writing an exegesis paper and on moving from exegesis to preaching. It was written out of his seminary teaching and became a standard textbook in exegesis courses. It is the technical companion to How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, written for readers who have begun Greek.
