Summary: The Best for Beginning Exegesis
Comment: When I was first looking for a book to teach me basic exegetical skills, I ran into Don Carson and asked him for advice. Without hesitation he recommended this book. He was absolutely right. Having come through my M.Div. and not using this book once as an assigned reading, I can honestly say that this book has taught me more about exegesis than any other single work. (Though Carson's book Exegetical Fallacies is excellent as well).
One reviewer on this list states that the book has no "redemptive-historical" approach to it. Two things to say in response to this. Firstly, when writing any book on hermeneutics, this is a touchy issue. There are many excellent scholars out there who disagree with this type of approach and to over-emphasize that in a beginners volume will likely get the new exegete into trouble by seeing too much typology. Secondly, the book does address a redemptive-historical approach with the "already/not-yet" tension. The authors handle this issue with great wisdom, I believe. I myself hold to "salvation-historical" hermeneutic and I am very satisfied with this volume.
I have given this book to many Christians who are fairly young and not too familiar with biblical interpretation and have been very pleased with the way it has helped them, just as it helped me.
I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Herman Who????
Comment: I have used this book as a textbook for several years as a great source for teaching Hermeneutics. I did 13 week course covering the definitions and rules and then we went to the Epistles as a genre. The only complain that I received, consistantly was that the course should have been longer to cover the other genres, escpecially Acts. The only lacking part is the the book could have used several charts to show the connections and relationships between exergesis and hermeneutics. This is a must own; must read; must teach; must .....

Summary: One of the best introductory texts available
Comment: This is the foundational understanding that everyone should know before studying the Bible. Although it is written in an easy to understand style it is still full of very valuable information. For example, people often ask why there are so many different translations of the Bible. The authors do an excellent job of showing the complications and difficulties of translating and how different versions of a verse could each be just as viable as an accurate translation.
The authors also deal with the problems of interpretation, exegesis, historical and cultural context and literary conventions of the time. They look at the narrative style of the Old Testament and its function as well as Acts, the various parables, prophets, psalms, wisdom literature, and the revelation. You may not agree with every aspect of their treatment of the various books and literary styles, but this is the best treatment of the problems of translation and interpretation that I have come across to date. "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" is highly recommend for anyone interested in Bible translation or interpretation.
