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.

Quarles’s Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament is an excellent companion for readers who want help moving directly from Matthew’s Greek text to exegesis. Its strength lies in disciplined phrase-by-phrase attention to grammar, syntax, textual variants, clause relationships, lexical issues and exegetical options, while remaining concise enough to consult continuously rather than only for major cruxes. Quarles is clear that the volume is not intended as a complete commentary: it provides the linguistic and exegetical groundwork from which fuller historical, theological and homiletical interpretation can proceed. That limitation is also its strength. Used beside France, Davies–Allison, Carson or Quarles’s own EBTC volume, it provides a quick technical check on the Greek without duplicating the broader work of those commentaries.
