We’re giving away two beautiful NIV-Greek (UBS5) Parallel Bibles in honor of the NIV 50th Anniversary Celebration. If you’re not familiar with the history or translation policy of the NIV, check out some of these links for fun.
–Made for You Introduction: A brief (but not short!) history of revisions made to the NIV….
Exegetical Tools’ main purpose is to equip students and pastors to rightly handle the Word of God in their original languages. Our long-term vision is to create resources to help you learn, retain, and improve your Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, German, French, and Latin.
But we cannot fulfill this vision without your help!
Would you spend less than five minutes and NONE of your own money to help support us financially, so that we can continue to equip you with our unique resources?….

Enter here to win one of five sets of Colossians Greek Reading Videos! (A description of the videos is below in the giveaway widget.)
These videos are at the heart of what we at Exegetical Tools want to do for biblical language learners, namely, assist and empower you to continue improving your biblical language skills as you use them personally and in your teaching or preaching. Unfortunately, I’m not independently wealthy and it took me around 160 hours to complete these Colossians videos, so the only way….

All four of these books, which all five winners will receive, are published by B&H Academic and they sponsored the giveaway by offering them for free.

Last Friday July 10, I participated in the Land Center Young Scholars’ Competition. This colloquium was a unique opportunity for graduate students to compete for prizes in front of an accomplished scholar in the field and receive generous but significantly helpful feedback. It was put on by the Land Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Seven PhD students or recent PhD graduates presented papers on topics that intersected with their PhD emphasis and the area of faith, work, and economics. We turned in an academic paper before the competition, which was scored by two different philosophy professors from Southwestern….
Today is the day that Exegetical Tools comes into its own and begins to realize a vision that began three years ago. I wanted this site to be a hub for biblical languages and exegesis, and three years ago I began making Greek Reading Videos.
After beginning my PhD program at Westminster, I simply ran out of time in the week and put the project on halt. When I began teaching Greek at Westminster, I found a good opportunity to begin creating Basic Greek Videos by recording my lectures after teaching a class. Hopefully, the Basic Greek Videos will be done by the end of this month.
We’re proud to announce today the publication of the first issue of the Exegetical Tools Quarterly. Our Quarterly is a unique resource among a variety of similar publications. Most peer-reviewed journals include mostly articles with book reviews appended to the back. Some journals are just a collection of popular-level essays, maybe with some book reviews. Our Quarterly, however, is strictly resource-driven….
Congratulations to Luther Herche, winner of our book giveaway of His Mission: Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. Crossway generously offered to provide one free copy (plus free shipping) to the winner of our giveaway, which we held in conjunction with our review of the new book. If you haven’t seen the book, it’s an excellent set of sermons focused on the person of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel that were preached at the 2013 TGC conference. You can find our review and links to buy the book here.
This week we welcome and are very excited to have Jennifer Guo join our team of contributors. Jennifer has worked as a full-time accountant and grow up a staunch atheist, until she had what she describes as a Damascus Road type experience during her undergrad. Since then, she has fallen in love with theology and biblical studies – so much so that she has given up her career as an accountant to pursue a research MDiv at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. She has been running her own blog for quite a while and has amassed a pretty loyal and impressive audience. This Spring she broke into the top 40 biblioblogs. I’ll let her do the rest of the introduction….
