This updated edition of Douglas Stuart's highly successful book includes a new chapter on exegesis of the original biblical texts. Illustrated with numerous examples, this chapter makes the book even more valuable as a guide to exegesis and an aid to sermon preparation. The revised edition also includes an up-to-date bibli-ography, an analytical table of contents, and indexes of scriptural quotations. The Journal of Biblical Literature cited the first edition as "a compact and simplified guide to Old Testament exegesis" and stated, "Everyone will laud the author's effort to assist both the student and the pastor in the task of making systematic sense out of what has become almost a bewildering number of ways of looking at a biblical text."

DOUGLAS STUART is Professor of Old Testament and Chair of the Division of Biblical Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton, Massachusetts.
