 An Eisegesis Text October 1, 2007
4 out of 12 found this review helpful
My Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines eisegesis as "the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas." If I had known that the Rogers & Rogers text was of this nature, I would not have purchased it. The book claims to be "exegetical" (critical interpretation) of the New Testament. As a doctoral student, this particular book cannot be used as a representable citation. Why not? One look at it's "Abbreviation and Bibliography" section includes that of Bible Commentators and general theology books. That is a red flag. The second red flag is that of the book's explanation of baptism as stated in Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-6, Galatians 3:27, and 1 Peter 3:21. As suspected, the Rogers family decided to utilize commentary and Mantey's flawed "A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament" (1950) in order to try and "prove" that baptism is unnecessary for slavation, opting instead to "show" that baptism is nothing more than a "sign" of one already saved before submitting to being baptized [note page 233 "because of"]. The one bright side: I bought Rogers' book used and not brand new! Hope this explanation helps you the readers. Peace.

This book was a suggested resource by my Homiletics Prof. What an awesome book. It is precise, concise and has many refrences to further research and linguistic works.
Would suggest this book to any seminary student or young pastor who struggles with original languages. This is a great sermon prep resource.
Helpful, but not "big Zerwick" as I've heard some people call it October 3, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have found this volume to be extremely useful in two areas: 1)When I am still having difficulty parsing a difficult verb form; and 2)For directing me to a plethora of additional articles and resources from which I can glean exegetical information. The book itself, as the title indicates, provides some exegetical insight, but it is at its best when it combines Rogers' own comments with a list of articles to consult for further research.
One or two other reviewers have mentioned using this book in conjunction with Max Zerwick's "A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament," and I do the same. I have heard some people call Rogers' work "big Zerwick," but that is not an accurate comparison of the two works. Rogers' book, while certainly providing some grammatical/linguistic information, emphasizes the exegetical aspect of words and passages far more, while Zerwick's volume is far more useful for learning the grammatical minutae and quirks of Koine Greek (though, at times, he also provides some exegetical comments).
The bottom line: don't substitute Rogers for Zerwick, or vice versa. Make use of both volumes and your studies of the GNT will be greatly enriched.
A unique tool September 4, 2003

If, like me, you are not an expert in Koine Greek, then this is an excellent tool. I have found that having this work has served a twofold purpose: 1) it has revealed a great deal regarding the background of several words and phrases of which I was unaware, 2) it has served as a very effective reference to other more in depth articles and background material on the topics I am researching. I have found this work remarkably free of traditional bias. An example would be the handling of "the Word was God" phrase of John 1:1, with some reference material not often found in other Greek reference works. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves the Scriptures but has not yet mastered their original languages.
Illuminating! January 30, 2003

This work is a great help to those wanting to study the grammar and syntax of the Greek New Testament, relying on a variety of scholarship condensed into one volume. An extensive bibliography, attractive format, and durable binding augment the wealth of information this volume offers.In order to use this volume, one must be able to read Greek in Greek characters. The only apparent drawback to this volume is that it does not draw attention to variant readings and their impact on the meaning and translation of the text as a whole.
All in all, you get a comprehensive walk-through of the Greek New Testament, according to the text of UBS.
