This third edition of Gorman's widely used and trusted textbook (over 60,000 copies sold) has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect developments in the academy and the classroom over the past decade. The new edition explains recent developments in theological interpretation and explores missional and non-Western readings of the biblical text. Adaptable for students in various settings, it includes clear explanations, practical hints, suggested exercises, and sample papers.

Acknowledgments
Since Elements of Biblical Exegesis first appeared in 2001, it has apparently filled a void in introductory biblical studies at both college and seminary levels, and even in certain courses in church settings. Used throughout the United States and in other countries as well (I saw it, for instance, in a pastor’s small study in Cameroon), Elements seems to provide just the right combination of exegetical method and basic hermeneutics (interpretive theory), at least according to its users.
A book like this, especially one now in its third edition, is in many ways the work of numerous people. For one thing, learning to do exegesis is like having an apprenticeship. I studied with many fine master-exegetes along the way, from college to seminary to graduate school, including Gordon Fee, John Herzog, the late Bruce Metzger, and the late Paul Meyer. Others who have taught me about exegesis include exemplary interpreters of the Bible who are also colleagues and friends, especially Dennis Edwards, Steve Fowl, Joel Green, Richard Hays, Andy Johnson, and Sylvia Keesmaat. In addition, various colleagues provided feedback to drafts of earlier editions: Michael Byrnes, Tim Cargal, Dennis Edwards, Bart Ehrman, Joel Green, Ed Hostetter, Patrick Madden, Richard Middleton, Sarah Sharkey, Duane Watson, and the late Paul Zilonka. Furthermore, I am grateful to the research assistants who helped with earlier editions—George Gannon, Bill Garrison, and Lenore Turner—and to my editor for those editions, Shirley Decker-Lucke.
In 2017, Baker Academic published Scripture and Its Interpretation: A Global, Ecumenical Introduction to the Bible , which I edited, in part, as a companion to this book. Its subtitle expresses my own growing commitments and interests as well as some of the new directions in this third edition of Elements of Biblical Exegesis . For many reasons, I especially dedicate this edition to scriptural interpreters in the Majority World and in indigenous contexts, from whom I have learned much and from whom I still have much to learn. I am in their debt. I am also grate
