Clayton:
I decided to use both in my classes. D/G has much better introductions to
the subject areas. I chose D/G mainly because of their chapter on spiritual
preparation which I feel is an absolute necessity for any expositor who
ministers the Word of God. I kept Fee because of his discussions on how to
do a word study and diagramming and because I think he covers the various
genres better
