Exegetical Gems From Biblical Greek, written by Benjamin L. Merkle, was published by Baker Academic and serves as a refresher course in New Testament Greek for those who already know the Greek language.  Merkle is professor of New Testament Greek at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and has co-authored several books on the Greek language. He desires that ministers use the Greek New Testament in their personal study of the Scriptures. Exegetical Gems is a refresher course for students of the Greek New Testament and a reminder of the functional importance in biblical interpretation that the Greek New Testament adds to the biblical interpreter.  The book contains thirty-five chapters each of which focuses on two main things:  (1) an exegetical gem from the NT and (2) a review of some aspects of Greek syntax.  I have posted a book review of this work under the Book Reviews page on this blog.
